New Audio Reveals Raoul Moat’s 999 Threats Ahead of 2010 Rampage

Recordings in a Prime Video documentary renew scrutiny of the 2010 shootings.

Overview

  • Previously unheard 999 calls capture Raoul Moat telling police "I'm coming to get yous" and saying he was "hunting for officers."
  • The rampage, which began in July 2010, saw Moat shoot ex-partner Samantha Stobbart, kill Chris Brown, and wound PC David Rathband.
  • A large armed manhunt followed and ended in a six-hour standoff near the National Trust's Cragside estate, where Moat shot himself.
  • The 90-minute film, Raoul Moat: Inside the Mind of a Killer, uses his letters, audio and archive footage and is available on Prime Video UK and IE from October 12.
  • Moat had been released from Durham prison 10 days earlier after an 18-week sentence for assaulting a nine-year-old.
