From: Rusty�Bullethole, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Express 6.10.00 KEY WITNESS IN KENNETH NOYE MURDER TRIAL IS SHOT DEAD A key trial witness in the conviction of M25 road rage killer Kenneth Noye has been shot dead in car park. The murder of Alan Decabral at a retail park in Ashford, Kent, on Thursday, is said to bear the hallmarks of a 'professional' hitman. Mr Decabral was the Rolls-Royce driver who told the Old Bailey trial this year that Noye had smirked after stabbing 21-year-old Stehen Cameron to death. Kent police have said they are not jumping to any conclusions about possible motives for the murder. However, a police source told the daily Express:'Decabral was the victim of a cold-blooded execution. 'It's too early to say whether there is any link to Noye, but Detective Chief Superintendent Dennis McGookin who investigated Noye for the cameron murder, was called in once the police had established the victim was Decabral.' A man in his early 20's wearing a light green jacket was seen running away from the area of the shooting. Mr Decabral, aged about 50, had been living in a secret hideout since the trial but had been tracked down recently to the house - a cottage in the village of Pluckley, near Ashford. Witnesses told police they heard the victim scream: 'Please don't kill me. Don't shoot.' But seconds later he was dead after being blasted twice in the head at close range by a man using a pistol with a silencer. Decabral, was sitting at the wheel of his black Peugeot 205 car preparing to leave a busy retail park when the hitman struck. Shoppers scattered in terror as the gunman carried out the gruesome hit outside a Halfords superstore. The killer then ran off. Onlooker Paul Winters, 41, said: 'It was utterly horrific. The poor guy was screaming for his life. He shouted out, 'Please don't shoot me', and you could hear the terror and desperation in his voice. The next thing I knew he was slumped at the wheel of his car. I didn't really hear the sound of any shots.' Anton Kaye, 26, deputy manager of the Curry's shop at the park, said: 'He was sat at the wheel of his car with his head on the wheel, slumped slightly to his right. He was wearing sunglasses and looked about 50.' A pool of blood lay at his feet. Mr Kaye added: 'There were no doors open and no signs of broken glass, so the killer obviously got up pretty close to him.' Another man described how he saw the gunman run off: 'I didn't hear the shot but knew by people's reactions something had happened. He ran off towards the M20 motorway. He was wearing a green jacket and grey woolly hat.' Security guards at the Eureka business park on the other side of the motorway were told to help police search for a 'teenager who was armed and dangerous'.
