Road-rage murderer Kenneth Noye cavorts with Hatton Garden diamond thief John ‘Kenny’ Collins on James Bond-themed night out in ‘breach of parole conditions’ which could see killer sent back to prison

Murderer Kenneth Noah risks being recalled to prison for breaching his parole – for spending the night with one of the Hatton Garden diamond thieves.

Noah, 76, met career criminal John “Kenny” Collins at a James Bond event in Epsom, Surrey, on Saturday.

Collins, 83, was one of the masterminds behind the £14 million Diamond Geezer heist in Hatton Garden – and served a six-year prison sentence for it.

Viewers said Noah and Collins “hit it off like a house on fire” at the gala and that Collins fainted with laughter when he pulled a toy $100 bill from a Christmas cracker.

A guest told MailOnline: “They talked for hours, laughing and joking. Kenny had a $100 bill and was waving it in the air. He found it all funny.”

But Noye might not find it so funny if parole officials see a photo of two career criminals smiling at the camera and recall him to prison for violating the terms of his freedom.

Killer Kenneth Noah (pictured left) has been jailed for life for stabbing Stephen Cameron to death in 1996 and then fleeing to Spain. John “Kenny” Collins (pictured right), 83, was one of the masterminds behind the £14 million Diamond Geezer heist in Hatton Garden – and served a six-year prison sentence for it.

He was released from prison in 2019 after serving a life sentence for the fatal stabbing of 21-year-old motorist Stephen Cameron on the M25 in 1996.

The former gangster, who also killed a policeman in 1985, is banned from associating with underworld figures as part of his release conditions.

A source said: “He needs to liaise with parole officers. He is not given a passport and must stay away from the gangster fraternity. One of the conditions of his release is that he refrain from knowingly interacting with other criminals.

“He has acted straightforwardly since his release and is unlikely to commit any crimes, but the law is keeping a close eye on him. It will never stop.”

Noye’s weekend companion, Collins, was a lookout for the gang that carried out a robbery in Hatton Garden over the Easter holidays in 2015.

The raid on the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit company in London’s diamond district is considered the largest robbery in British legal history.

The official value of the stolen property was estimated at £13.7 million (jewelry, gemstones and cash), but it was reported that due to the unclear nature of the items stolen, the true value may have been closer to £28 million.

Noye (pictured this year) was released from prison in 2019 after 20 years behind bars.

Noah is serving a life sentence for stabbing Stephen Cameron to death in 1996 and then fleeing to Spain. Two years later he was tracked down while on the run and brought back to Britain.

The robbery was planned and carried out by six elderly men who were experienced thieves. They were all arrested, pleaded guilty and received prison sentences in March 2016.

Four other men were also tried on suspicion of involvement; three were found guilty and sent to prison, and the fourth was acquitted.

Collins was released in 2018 after serving half his sentence, but was recalled to prison in 2019 after failing to repay millions of pounds stolen in the raid.

He was ordered to pay a total of £7.6 million, but Westminster Magistrates’ Court found he had “failed to co-operate”.

The 2017 jewelery heist film The Hatton Garden Job, starring Larry Lamb and Phil Daniels, was released.

Noah is serving a life sentence for stabbing Cameron to death and then fleeing to Spain. Two years later he was tracked down while on the run and brought back to Britain.

Noah also fatally stabbed Detective John Fordham, who was involved in police surveillance of Noah on his property.

He was acquitted of murder after a jury accepted his claim of self-defense in December 1985.

But in July 1986 he was found guilty of conspiracy to dispose of some of the gold stolen in the Brinks Mat robbery.

He was sentenced to 14 years’ imprisonment, a £500,000 fine, £200,000 costs and served eight years.
