THE woman who helped put the M25 killer Kenneth Noye behind bars will be living in fear for the rest of her life, the former cop who led the hunt for the gangster has warned.
Danielle Cable, who was 17 at the time, was the fiancé of Stephen Cameron , 21, who was stabbed to death by Noye in 1996 in a road-rage incident.
She helped identify the gangland thug and later testified in court which helped put him away four years after the murder.
Cable even travelled to Spain as part of a determined bid to bring the killer to justice.
Now Cable is married with a daughter of her own and lives under an assumed identity due to fear of a revenge attack and can only see her parents twice a year.
The Detective Superintendant who led the investigation tracking down Noye, Nick Biddiss, told the : “It turned out that Danielle’s mum was not far wrong when she said if my daughter gets involved she’s going to have her life ruined.
"That’s what’s happened. She’s still in witness protection.”
Asked if Danielle would be living in fear for the rest of her life, he said: “Yes.
"Whether it’s real, I don’t know but Kenneth Noye is a man who has got his tentacles everywhere. She was very brave in what she did.”
The Sun revealed last month that Cable, now 40, is living in fear of a revenge attack or simply just bumping into him.
Noye, now 72, was released from Standford Hill open prison on the Isle of Sheppey on June 6, this year after serving 19 years for the killing.
A family source said: “She’s had nightmares about seeing this evil man again. News he will be released is like she’s living her worst nightmare.
“She hates him for taking Stephen away from her, ruining their hopes and dreams.
“She never forgot Stephen and loved him so much. Noye’s release brings it all back as if it was yesterday.”
Stephen’s dad Ken Cameron said he should leave only “in a wooden box”.

Ken, 71 — who lives in Noye’s native Kent — vowed: “If I ever bumped into him I’d ask why he murdered my son and left him in a gutter.
“Why did he use a knife on a lad with his whole life ahead of him? He’s not been properly punished. He has family in Kent, is in prison in the county and when he’s freed could easily come here.
“I pray I never see him, but if I did I’d confront him.”
