Police involved in a six-hour stand-off with gunman Raoul Moat fired two Taser stun guns at him, it has emerged.

Moat shot himself after armed officers cornered him on a riverbank in the Northumberland town of Rothbury late on Friday following a week-long manhunt.

The 37-year-old was wanted over the shooting of his ex-girlfriend, her new partner and a police officer.

Greg Wood reports.

  • Moaty was executed by vindictive FILTH. To tazer a man holding a shot gun....it's obviously highly likely he will pull the trigger.

    Independent enquiry my arse....there are no INDEPENDENT enquiries.

    FUCK THE PIGS!

    Rathband is a wife beating scum bag.

  • @shirlnw99 Moaty was a good lad. You can't keep pushing a mans face in the dirt again and again....and not expect him to jump up and bite you in the nose. Nuff said?

    RIP Moaty.

  • @02Blackbeard He was a cunt, like you.

  • @MultiCren Fair comment. But that would not justify the harassment which Moaty lived with (according to his close associates) for a number of years.

    Sadly, I can testify to the fact that Police are hideously corrupt. And there is a culture of OMERTA. But, of course, the "winners" write the official account of history. Always have.

  • @02Blackbeard I can't but I know that alot of people are under alot more pressure than he was and instead of going completely psycho they see a doctor or a therapist which thank god for the NHS is free

  • @MultiCren What is a normal person? How do you know how YOU would react given sufficient provokation?

  • @02Blackbeard normal people dont do that though

  • I hate him, but he didn't kill himself. His muscles spasmed when hit by the taser, making him pull the tirgger.

  • Moat killed himself because he was ginger

  • its over,he is where he belongs,BURNING IN NONCE'S HELL,HAHAHA

  • @64tantrum some people are just shit at decision making and the police evidently helped him...good old british bobby come to the rescue of the public again lol
