On July 1st Raoul Moat was released from Durham prison after
serving 18 weeks for assault on a minor. In the 10 days that
followed, Moat brought terror and fear to the Northumberland
countryside, seriously injuring his ex-girlfriend and killing her
partner before vowing to harm any policemen who got in his way.
Armed with a sawn-off shotgun, Moat went on the run and continued
his violent rampage, shooting police constable David Rathband and
fleeing to the remote moors of Northumberland. This is the full
story behind Moat's ten days on the run. It traces his final steps
in what became one of Britain's biggest police manhunt, from the
initial murder in Birtley, through to the police standoff on the
banks of the River Coquet in Rothby. Examining the various police,
press and witness reports, and piecing together Moat's final
movements across the Northumberland countryside, this is the
retelling of one of the most deadly manhunts Britain has ever seen,
and the first insight into what made Moat a killer.
