ROAD rage killer Kenneth Noye could be released from prison in six months.
The notorious M25 murderer was jailed in 2000 for stabbing Stephen Cameron, 21, to death at Swanley, Kent, in 1996.
Gangster Noye, 69, has previously unsuccessfully appealed his life sentence in 2013 and 2015.
But on Monday the Ministry of Justice said he has once again been put forward for parole.
A spokesman for the ministry said: “We can confirm that the Ministry of Justice has referred the case of Mr Kenneth Noye for his next parole review.”
The spokesman continued: “As with all cases referred to the Parole Board the case will undergo a paper review in the first instance.
“The review may be concluded at that stage, or may be directed to an oral hearing.
“Parole reviews are currently taking between 6 to 12 months to conclude if they require an oral hearing.
“The Parole Board is unable to comment on the specifics of individual cases.”
Noye was sentenced to an indeterminate sentence but was told he must serve a minimum 16 years.
Once a prisoner’s minimum term has been served he is eligible to be considered for release by the Parole Board.
The law states that the prisoner is no longer held in prison as a punishment and can only be held in prison if they pose a risk to the public.
Noye, whose last address was in Sevenoaks in Kent, has had a long history of crime.
He served 14 years over the 1983 Brink’s-MAT gold bullion raid at Heathrow and was released in 1994.
Just two years later he stabbed Stephen in front of his girlfriend before fleeing to Spain.
He was caught and returned to England to face trial in 2000.
Noye was cleared of murder after knifing Det Con John Fordham in his garden 1985 claiming self defence.
In January this year we revealed how killer Noye “flipped” after being transferred without warning from his cushy jail.
Several days before Christmas he was moved out of a prison where he had his own room and mixed with older lags until midnight.
The gangster was still reeling from Justice Secretary Michael Gove blocking a Parole Board recommendation to move him to an open jail.
An insider said: “Noye flipped his lid. He was at Wayland in Norfolk where he effectively had the run of the place. He’s now locked up from 6pm and sharing a cell in a prison full of kids.”
