 Noye is being held in a high security unit at a prison in Cambridgeshire |
The lawyer representing road rage killer Kenneth Noye is calling for an inquiry into his conviction. Noye was convicted in 2000 of the fatal stabbing of 21-year-old Stephen Cameron on the M25 Swanley interchange in 1996.
He was extradited from Spain to face trial.
The 55-year-old was sentenced to life imprisonment and is currently being held at the high security unit at HMP Whitemoor in Cambridgeshire.
His legal team have since uncovered Spanish court papers which they believe mean Noye was sent back to Britain only on condition that he did not serve a life sentence if convicted.
Lawyer Giovanni di Stefano claims the papers were never submitted during Noye's trial at the Old Bailey.
The Crown Prosecution Service is investigating the apparent loophole, but said it was confident the extradition had been dealt with correctly.
If the extradition conditions were found to have been breached, the discovery could open up new grounds for an appeal.
