A drama surrounding the infamous 2010 manhunt for Raoul Moat will soon be aired on ITV1. Bodybuilder Raoul, 37, shot himself in the head after a six-hour stand-off with police, following a two-day shooting spree and being on the run for a week.

He was released from Durham Prison after assaulting a relative and set out to shoot his ex-girlfriend Samantha Stobbart and her new boyfriend Christopher Brown.

Less than two days after being released from prison, he headed to a house in Birtley, Gateshead and carried out his attack. He shot Samantha in the arm and stomach, leaving her injured, and shot and killed Chris.

PVC Rathband tragically took his own life just over 18 months after being shot by Raoul. From there, Raoul fled to Northumberland, aided by two accomplices and managed to escape detection in the quiet village of Rothbury for a number of days, before being involved in a tense final stand-off with police and killing himself with a gun shot.
