A father who "never got over" the murder of his young son at the hands of a road rage killer has died.

Kenneth Cameron, whose son Stephen was stabbed to death on an M25 slip-road at Swanley near Dartford, tragically died in hospital.

Stephen Cameron was just 21 when he was killed by gangster Kenneth Noye in the brutal roadside attack in 1996, leaving his parents grief-stricken.

His heartbroken father Kenneth, known as Ken, suffered another devastating loss in 2016, when his wife Toni died.

The 75-year-old died at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford on March 15.

It is believed he was transferred there after being found at his retirement home in Ashford.

Following the father's death, a source told the Mirror: “Noye has Kenneth’s blood on his hands.

“It is the final tragic chapter in the story of the Cameron family whose lives were torn apart by the senseless killing of Stephen.

“Kenneth never got over Stephen’s death, but it got worse when Toni died.

"Noye didn’t physically kill Kenneth in the same way he did Stephen, but the impact of what he did haunted him.

"Noye has notched up another victim, even though this time he didn’t use a knife.”

On May 19, 1996, electrician Stephen and his fiancée Danielle Cable, 17, were driving from their home in Dartford to London to buy bagels.

But on an M25 slip-road near Swanley, Noye's Land Rover Discovery cut in front of Stephen's red van, which was being driven by Danielle.

Stephen shook his head, before enraged Noye stormed over for a confrontation that saw him stab Stephen to death.

Noye then fled to Spain, sparking a huge manhunt that made headlines around the world.

He had only recently been released from prison for his part in handling gold stolen during the Brink's Mat robbery in 1983 - a raid which netted crooks the equivalent of £100m in today's money.

In 1985, Noye had also stabbed an undercover policeman to death in the grounds of his mansion, but was cleared by a jury on the grounds of self-defence.

He was eventually tracked down to a Spanish hideaway in 1998.

In 2000, he was jailed to life with a minimum 16 years behind bars, for killing Stephen.

In 2018, Noye was moved to open prison Standford Hill on Sheppey to serve out his final term. He was then controversially freed in June 2019.

Ken previously described how his family, and Danielle, had been given a life sentence of their own following Stephen's death.

Danielle, who testified in the trial, changed her name and is still living under the witness protection scheme for safety.

Ken told the Sun in 2017: "I have never wanted revenge, I have only wanted justice for Stephen. And I do not think that man deserves to be on the streets.

“He should die in prison, and I hope he does.”

When he and Toni appeared on ITV's This Morning in 2015, Ken told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: "I think life should mean life.

"Our son hasn't got a life and our life will never be the same."

The Camerons lived in Swanley village at the time of Stephen's murder but later moved to Suffolk.

It is believed Ken was living in a retirement home in Ashford at the time of his death.

An inquest was opened on Friday and has been adjourned until June 6.
