S6 E8-Raoul Moat - Britain's Biggest Manhunt

NEW UPLOAD SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE 2PM

This week's episode is the case of one of the biggest and public manhunts in modern British history, the hunt for Raoul Moat.

When Raoul Moat was released from Durham prison in July 2010 little did the authorities know what hell would be unleashed for the local community. For Moat had a plan, a terrible plan to exact revenge on his ex-girlfriend, her new partner and the Northumbria police force.

Two days after his release he stalked and shot Samantha, the mother of his daughter, almost killing her and killing Samantha's partner, Chris Brown.

He then went on to declare war on the police and shot traffic officer, PC David Rathband in the face.

Moat fled to the picturesque town of Rothbury, 30 miles north of Newcastle, nestled in the Northumberland national park.

What followed then was nothing short of real-time updates as the worlds media descended on the small town, providing minute-by-minute news coverage of the biggest manhunt in recent British history.

After some days of being on the run, Moat was finally cornered and as the eyes of the world turned to watch the conclusion, there could only ever be one fatal outcome...
