The Hunt for Raoul Moat is set to air this morning on ITV but the series has already sparked controversy.
An ITV drama series looking at the story of killer Raoul Moat is set to premiere this evening, but has already sparked controversy ahead of airing. The Hunt for Raoul Moat will run tonight and tomorrow before a documentary is aired the following night.
Moat, 37, had been out of Durham Prison for two days when he arrived at the home of his 22-year-old ex-girlfriend Samantha Stobbart in the early hours of July 3, 2010. He had been serving an 18-week prison sentence for assaulting a nine-year-old relative. Inside the house, Stobbart's mother tried to contact the police , prompting Moat to shoot into the house, hitting Stobbart in the arm and abdomen. Stobbart was later taken to hospital where she received life-saving surgery.
"The kids are proud to be their dad’s children, but it can be hard for them because they carry his surname. They both have close circles of friends who are fully aware of what happened." An inquest later found that officers had fired two tazer guns at Moat to stop his suicide but it was not confirmed whether this happened before or after he shot himself. An inquest jury officially ruled his death as a suicide. Moat's friends Karl Ness and Qhurum Awan were later convicted for aiding Moat's crims in 2011.
He was due to carry the Olympic torch later that summer, which was taken on by his daughter Mia instead in tribute to her late father. Samantha Stobbart survived and recovered from her injuries but has remained traumatised by what happened to her as she opened up about how she too considered suicide after hearing the news of PC Rathband's death.
