The mock Tudor mansion where notorious gangster Kenneth Noye stabbed to death an undercover police officer has been sold for £2.5 million.

The property, set in 20 acres in West Kingsdown, was reportedly sold by the wife of Michael Anderson, the former Gillingham FC vice chairman who was accused of a multi-million fraud in the United States.

Former owner Noye used the manor house to conceal bullion stolen in the £26 million Brink’s-Mat robbery.

In 1985, he killed Det Con John Fordham in the grounds but was acquitted of his murder.

Noye murdered Stephen Cameron, 21, a road rage row on a slip road of the M25, near Swanley in 1996.

Now aged 76, he was behind bars for nearly 19 years and was freed in 2019.

Attempts to extradite businessman Michael Anderson to America were rejected in June last year after a court found the bid to be “disproportionate”.

Anderson, whose last address was in West Malling, could face up to 60 years in prison if found guilty of conspiring to defraud a US government healthcare scheme for members and veterans of the armed forces and their families.
