Crime
Notorious criminal Kenneth Noye killed a policeman in his £1million home on School Lane. Noye was under observation for laundering gold from the Brink's-MAT robbery. On 26 January 1985, surveillance officer John Fordham was cornered by Noye's three rottweilers as he watched the gangster's home. Noye later claimed he was being targeted by an underworld hitman. He stabbed Fordham 11 times, later claiming he acted in self defence. Noye was cleared of murder when the jury accepted his story.
