First, a quick refresher. Ken Noye was a career criminal who got famous for two very dramatic things. He was involved in the Brink’s-Mat gold heist (the biggest bullion robbery in UK history) and then he stabbed a man to death in a road rage incident. That second one, on the M25 motorway, is what really stuck in the public’s memory.
The weirdest part? He was acquitted of murder the first time, claiming self-defense. But then he was convicted for the same killing later, after a retrial. It’s like a legal game of whack-a-mole, and Ken kept popping up.
