- How a troubled child grew up to become Britain's most wanted killer.
Raoul Moat was born on 17 June 1973. His childhood was far from perfect. His mother suffered from constant mental health issues and was unable to look after him, meaning Moat spent most of his time living at his grandmother’s. He always wanted to find his father, but nobody would tell him who it was. Despite asking his mother on numerous occasions, for whatever reason, she refused to tell him.

The fact that at the very beginning, a 37 year old 240lb man was arrested for assaulting his 9yr old relative, told me all I needed to know about Raoul Moat
I did. He did assault a 9 year old. Can’t find anything saying that’s a lie. Y’all must be pals.
@@Maclifeshades226no but fr why are you here defending him??
@@Maclifeshades226Raoul? That you??? You got a phone in jail? Well, I’ll be.
@@ozarkeusfulHe either knows him or is just a weird freak or both. 🤷🏻♀️
@@Maclifeshades226 Don't defend him.
only 9 weeks for assaulting a 9 yr old is crazy
I think it said 19 weeks
I feel like even 19 weeks is too short for assaulting a 9 year old, but I’m not very knowledgeable of this sort of situation.
@@BackyardButcher he said that he served half of an 18 week sentence but either way thats outrageous
That’s England for you!!
That's UK law 🤷🏼♀️
The fact that he didn't immediately die was some justice imo, because that meant he was able to feel the same pain he inflicted on others.
If your friend fresh out of prison needs you to drive him and his sawed off shotgun to his ex girlfriend's house you may want to decline
😂😂😂💯
My sister had a very lucky escape from this horrible animal... he constantly asked her for a date while he was working as doorman at nightclub Planet Earth in Newcastle city centre
Thank goodness your sister didn't date this evil ❤
@@happyheidi747 I know! I’m pleased she had her wits about her and managed to avoid the consequences!
This story is weighing so heavy on my heart! So much sorrow for so many. Tragedy falling upon them for just being who they are living their everyday lives. A huge reminder that life is precious and should not be taken for granted. ❤
Paying tribute at the end to the fallen/injured is very respectable 💯🙏🏽
Agreed. It's not a common thing for true crime creators to put in their videos. And I feel that it damn well should be. If not for showing respect then at least because they're making a comfortable living by exploiting the dead.
Apparently karate is no match for a shotgun. That's good to know.
“my girlfriend has been having an affair behind my back with one of your officers” when the reality was he was in prison for assaulting a 9 year old and they had already broken up. disgusting behavior.
Needs to be new laws on people like this. More prison time. Quit letting sickos out to harm again. Prayers to family
Like that will ever happen 😂😂😂😂
Also there is police brutality across america.
@@johnmartin2586 Ok cool just shift it to your own agenda that's normal.
@@JustMe-fo4ev truth hurts . Police abuse exists
@@JustMe-fo4ev cops abuse pass the message
1) Homicidal maniac (Raoul Moat) with sawed-off shotgun and loads of ammo upon his release from prison is running around free with open intent to commit murder...
2) Terrified law-abiding citizenry who are all DISARMED by massive and badly thought out firearms possession and control laws.
Despite a prior warning from Prison officials, police can do nothing to protect the public or even THEMSELVES from the maniac.
3) Said homicidal maniac was convicted of committing a violent assault on a child, and sentenced to a few mere weeks in prison-with NO provision for any supervision upon his release. Eighteen WEEKS??! Eighteen YEARS would be a proper sentence.
4) Clearly violent felons aren't the ONLY demented idiots in the UK's criminal "justice" system, perhaps we should take a closer look at Britain's (and the USA's) judiciary as well.
5) Have I missed anything? Is anybody still SURPRISED at the horrible outcome of this sorry tale?
Have you ever had zucchini bread?
@@Zach-qs2bw No, I haven't had the pleasure. I understand that it can be quite tasty.
@@Zach-qs2bw who tf eat zucchini and bread anyway?
How do you make a film about Raoul Moat & not mention Gazza turning up at the scene trying to go fishing with him🤣
Ikr! After 14 lines of cocaine, wearing a dressing gown, with a roast chicken, lagers & his fishing gear. Lol
@@Kat-lt6qd I understand the instinct to be respectful but honestly, it's the best part of the story. If you're American reading this it's like A-Rod or Peyton Manning turning up to the Waco siege coked up to the eyeballs & then trying to go fishing with David Koresh because he's convinced they're best friends. Just really really odd. In truth though I do love Gazza 😂 He's just the best
@@PALillie Spot on comparison!
The rest of the situation was that dark & terrifying, I think everyone was a grateful for the tiny bit of levity his appearance gave it. It was so surreal. People look for the humour wherever they can in situations like this.
It’s not an “unwritten rule” that cops don’t take kindly to being murdered. There’s actual laws about it 😂
There are also laws about police harassment and treatment of those with obvious mental health issues. This was a powder keg and the match got lit
@@mgausthe guy was clearly a danger, the issue is they didnt have enough officers watching him, they should have had someone watching him almost 24/7 if possible
He said it's an unwritten rule between British criminals. Duh... Obviously they know there are laws
So, he was 15 years older than Samantha? She was 16 and he 31 when they started dating? 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩
You missed the bit where gazza turned up with a fishing pole and some beer and a curry. Dont know if it was to talk him round or just get pissed and fish. So weird
One person can ruin so many lives.
RIP thoughts & prayers for family and friends. 🌹🌹
I’ve heard this story before and it really hit me hard; I’ve avoided watching retellings of it for that reason.
That said, I’m glad I watched this; you did a hell of a job with the content and I learned more about the victims which honestly helped me understand the impact of the crime a lot more, and it helped me just… I don’t know, feel better I guess?
Well done, and thank you.
This channel really feels like the most respectful along with a few on here. No jokes like so many podcasts and videos that come across so disrespectful and crass.
I find the narrator very easy to listen to and respectful.
I’m a Geordie, born and bred and I remember this well. I’ve never seen such a massive police presence on the roads and streets looking for Raul. We don’t have major crimes (especially shootings) happen very often here so this was just unbelievable.
My strongest memory about it is when Gazza rocked up with some beers & fishing gear, thinking he could chill with Raul & end it peacefully. Lol.
So do I. All over the news in Ireland
@@Kat-lt6qd are u serious?
@@TheGeneral_LUFC yeah, Gazza showed up to the Stand off at Rothbury thinking he could talk him round. He was trying to get the police to let him through the blockades.
@Beyond Evil Podcast, I know you typically cover stories from the UK and the US, but you might consider looking into Peter Lundin, one of Denmarks most terrifying murderers. He spent a good part of his childhood in the USA, and that is where he killed his first victim, his own mother.
How the f****** do you assault a 9 year old and go to prison for a mere 18 weeks!!!!!!???
Have you seen gen z?
@Beyond Evil You ought to check out Michael Ryan and his rampage on the town of Hungerford. He took aim at anyone, killing some, sparing others. Pensioners, children, police were all shot dead even his own mother became one of his murder statistics. I'm somewhat surprised Moats spree tops Ryan's in relation to what was spent on the police operation to apprehend the gunman. Maybe because Moat took 3 days to locate, whereas Ryan's spree came to an end that same day? I do know that after Hungerford the entire way emergency calls were dealt with totally changed, plus the callers reports weren't shared out with other 999 call handlers to which accurate details were missed and the seriousness of the situation was not grasped. Unarmed officers were sent into Ryan's line of fire sent there by despatch to investigate possible shots heard by members of the public. Ryan's killing spree also changed the gun laws throughout the UK and also passed through Parliament was the right to remove fire Arms due to mental health concerns. So yeah, Michael Ryan's murderous rampage definitely changed the country for the better, with revised gun laws making sure everything was done to prevent history repeating itself again! ❤😊
This was the main story on the news back then. I remember the policeman's suicide also. Heartbreaking, all said and done.
What the news won't tell is that the policeman's wife had just left him because he couldn't keep it in his pants.
That sounds like great news. But only because you tell a piece of the story.
@@lnmemoryofjohnmordaunt7386so what? Doesn't deflect that moat shot him twice in the face & blinded him does it?
@sharongrigg5336 no but it probably had a lot to do with his mental state.
@@lnmemoryofjohnmordaunt7386 I assume he must have been having the affair before the incident with scumbag Raoul. Regardless, sad and traggic. I hope his former wife and rest of the family are doing ok.
He was totally getting off on all the attention and plethora of resources used for him
I’m quite surprised how a TH-cam channel with an American narrator tells these British crime stories so accurately, usually they completely butcher the facts and are complete tripe. Well done, great channel.
I’m already aware of this case because I recall the fear he caused after shooting his altered shot gun at Samantha and threatening to hunt cops. I felt especially bad for the police officer he ambushed and shot in the face. After the incident and losing his vision his life was destroyed. As were many others by this evil narcissist on his twisted quest for revenge. At the time, it annoyed me that the biggest issue was investigating the newly issued taser rifles and their role in his ending….really? That’s what was important? 1:03
I learned something new from Mr Moat,..the plural of “You” is “Youes”! 11:04
Youse is a north east term. I’m from Sunderland and we use it colloquially. Hearing it on things like this makes us sound backwards 🤣🤣
Rathband commited suicide after being blinded. Northumbria police never admited any responsibility for sending out officers in single crew vehicles which was absolutely NOT what was ment to happen and Sue Sim put herself up for a PR award on how she handled the incident.... she later became chief of Northumbria Police until forced to step down over bullying investigation... this whole thing was a mess not to mention the bizarre coked out ex footballer Gazza injecting himself into the situation and trying to give Mout some beer and fish and chips ffs..
Wild story but I like to hear how cops get scared and make em realize they aren't untouchable sry not sry
Every single picture of this guy shows pure evil in his eyes😮
Bro they straight up flash-banged them 😆 🤣 that's awesome
This was a crazy time in the UK. This psycho was on the TV 24/7 He was a violent abuser who controlled everyone he ever met. The only comfort i get us when the image's of this POS wearing makeup are shown knowing how much he'd hate it. My heart goes out to his victims & their families, as for bloaty moat may he rot.
My heart goes out to the family
This is becoming one of my favorite channels! Thank you for your time and hard work!
That flash bang takedown on the highway was pretty slick 😎
This was not only predictable; but predicted by the girlfriend. He thought she was dead after shooting her. Then cops that persecuted the psycho.
..... assaulting a 9 yr old?!? What in the actual fuck??!!!
Quick to the point. Love it. Thank you
Tragic story but well told.
A face not even a mother can love
Samantha did nothing wrong, she did the right thing trying to keep him away from her by saying her new partner was a policeman. It just shows how terrified she was of Moat. I think even if she hadn't said he was a policeman he'd of killed him. Their mentality is you can not leave them unless they do the leaving onto someone new. Domestic violence is still not recognised as a life threating situation. Belive me it is.
My heart breaks for everyone affected by this coward and those who lost their lives. Samantha did nothing wrong yet her life has forever been traumatised by this monster. I hope she finds some peace but NEVER should she accept any blame, she was a victim.
She literally cheated on him. She was a bitch.
My question is WHY? Why they allowed this guy to buy weapons the day after getting out of jail??
The police always reminds me of a street gang.
Oh goodness 😮I’m so sorry for the victims
This guy is pure evil
The biggest shock to me at the end where cop was blind and still managed to cheated on his wife
Spun me right out
Made evil.
God I remember this happening, I was only about 12 I think but remember watching this standoff and being so confused and sad when he killed himself. I feel better now I know he was a psycho. Terrible, feel so bad for that police officer too,he shouldn't have been on his own anyway.
For a country with cameras everywhere they sure do suck at tracking people
That's because the cameras aren't for criminals they are for me and you
Well we don’t exactly have cameras in the middle of the English countryside or in the drains underneath remote countryside villages like Rothbury.
We have cameras in the major cities and in urban areas like towns - as well as on major roads throughout the UK with ANPR. But, if you take a back route through the rural country (which is plentiful), you can avoid detection.
The likes of the Yorkshire dales, the Lake District, the new forest, Bodmin moor, dartmoor… not exactly camera friendly environments. Google the English countryside, you’ll realise that. The UK also isn’t flat, unlike the US which in comparison is a pancake.
We do for the record have far more successful search for persons statistics per capita than in the US.
@@dWFnZWVr um firstly the English country side is like one state park here in the USA. 2. You clearly haven't been to the USA if you think its flat 3. You guys literally are known for the amount of cameras.
@@TheWhatman21 You clearly don’t understand what relative comparison is or what per capita means. I’ve probably been to more places in the US than you (and you’re a US citizen). I didn’t think I needed to spoon feed the basic concept that any comparison between countries requires consideration for the size and population differences between them. Nonetheless, relative to the geographical size of the US comparatively to the UK, the US is a pancake. The same way if you could fit earth between your fingers it would be smooth when touching Mount Everest 🤦♂️. It’s a matter of scale. And while the UK is known for cameras - we do have more than the US per km, the US has more overall (bigger country) and also more per capita (more cameras per every 100 people).
What you don’t have in the US (at least not standardised nationally) which we do, is ANPR. Any vehicle driving on main roads throughout the UK can be flagged immediately by cameras that capture their number plates. If the vehicle is flagged as wanted it immediately dispatches all police in the area with an alert.
@@TheWhatman21 Wait until you discover that the US judicial system is based on the UK’s (English common law) - or that US police base themselves on the British model of policing (the Peelian principles); with the first modern police force being London’s metropolitan police. Or even police body-cams: first trialed and adopted by Devon & Cornwall police in England back in 2005/06, marking the first police force in the world to both trial and adopt them. The UK later being the first country to equip all its police with body worn cameras. This was a primary case study for police across the US exploring the use of such devices, later leading to their adoption among US police forces; albeit, about a decade later.
Like ripples from a thrown stone into a calm pond. These ripples continue to devastate the survivors. Bad choices lead to bad feelings.
Thank you Raven for another great video! My heart goes out to those who’s lives were lost rest in peace. ♥️♥️♥️
Raven?
Huh???
Raven is the voice on the Explore With Us page not this one
Cho mos should be paranoid. All the time. Like their victims. They need to feel the same fear their victims felt and worse.
So sad that one man could cause so much havoc. Crimes against children must be taken seriously and more harshly punished. Aldo, could someone please tell me what kind of clout or thrill viewers get from posting "first!?"
Right. Every time I see pedos get such a light sentences. Like wtf why?!
You ain't paranoid if they're really harassing you.
Are you really defending him? Disgusting
The English criminal justice system is a joke 🤣
not much worse than here in the US tbh
Sadly, once again law enforcement dropped the ball early on with this one
Please explain how this was the fault of the police? The guy was a jealous, paranoid nut job.
*** Finally somebody with a working brain I am so happy to have watched your content. So many other TH-camrs and even professionals 'supposedly" blame these crimes on a bad, sad, evil upbringings etc. And you,my friend, deserve the accolades just for mentioning that a bad childhood does NOT necessarily mean an EVIL human.
He wasn't evil. He had a terrible life which made him do what he did. You have no idea how he must've felt.
cop cars need to have bullet proof glass
Firearms are heavily regulated in the UK; gun crime accounts for such a small percentage of crime it is almost non-existent overall. You can own the same as what any US citizen can own, but in the UK you must have a section 1 firearms license; and the process to obtain that is incredibly thorough and constantly reviewed. Handguns must have a fixed stock attached to the grip if the barrel length is less than 6 inches. Thus, concealing a firearm isn’t an easy feat and the sentence for even trying to do so is not worth the risk for any sane person. There’s therefore no need for bullet proof glass. All officers wear Kevlar and there are AFOs on patrol at all times (authorised firearms officers). Their cars will have a red asterisk on the side of them to denote it as a firearms unit. They mostly respond to rowdy farmers with shotguns, mind you. Events like this are few and far between.
Damn too bad he got away killing himself. Pathetic
He was a coward and nothing more! As we're the two people that decided to join him!
thank u for all your hard work. i love your videos! ❤
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
i really do appreciate your channel and hard work. thank you so kindly!
Could have all been avoided if Gazza was on the scene earlier.
🤣
yep that chicken could of saved the day
I’ll never forget Gazza turning up for the stand off like. Absolutely mental man.
🤣🤣 gotta love Gazza man
You begin with 18 weeks for attacking a child...wth did the gov expect? such stupidity.
Any update about his victims?
For the men that lost their lives 🙏❤
It seems the cops weren't watching him when he walked out of prison, promptly got a gun and found his ex.
Guns are completely illegal in the UK in other words there's no records and it's much easier for criminals to get them and impossible for victims to defend themselves.
I remember this all happening. Horrible Horrible man.
So are we just gonna forget that Gazza turned up with some beers thinking he could talk the nutter down.
Why would anyone care if he killed himself? Seems like a good conclusion.
It is so sad the officer he shot even though he survived his wounds would end up hanging himself 18 months later in 2012. Him taking his own life was the best possible outcome considering what he was threatening to do.
Hmmm..... nothing about Gazza turning up with a fishing rod and a few beers saying he'll try talking him down
Yeah rip to the 2 victims that didn’t do anything to him the girlfriend I don’t feel sorry for you went into prison and threatened him saying her new boyfriend would put him on his arse and that he was a police officer
Why do child abuse criminal's seem to get away with less time than they should have gotten? And the cops knew he'd be more trouble even tried to warn them but nope he's pulled 9weeks he's good set him free 🙄🙄
It really depends exactly what the assault was. It could be anything from smacking him on the butt, to punching him in the face. Both are assault in the UK
This was the wildest story out of the UK that I have ever heard.
It was for us aswell. Police should have sprayed him with bullets
Love when you drop vids!! Ugh
Such a sad world we live in. Moat tried several times to get help for his anger issues:
"In August 2009 he told a social worker: "I would like to have, erm, a psychiatrist, psychologist, have a word with me regularly, on a regular basis to see if there's somewhere underlying like where I have problem that I haven't seen.
"I would like a professional, you know, not a DIY thing you know? A professional thing for someone to come along and say look there's area for improvement here. This is a problem."
At the same meeting, Moat asked again to see a psychiatrist. "Why don't we just have a psychiatrist sit me down and say: 'Right, OK, I want to see you regularly, then we can move towards where your areas of fault are, we can enhance on these areas you know, erm and work with us'," he said.
"If I'm at fault myself in any way I'm open to all kinds of suggestions but I refuse to spend the rest of my time fighting with social services."
Newcastle city council, which dealt with Moat's case, said it commissioned a report from a psychologist to examine whether it was safe for Moat to live with his two older children.
"This report did not recommend any treatment but examined Mr Moat's aggressive behaviour on the safety and wellbeing of the children," the council said in a statement."
He also contacted local authorities and asked for help, saying he didn't feel mentally stable.
His girlfriend knew of his hatred of the authorities, particularly the police, and goaded him while he was in prison by saying her new boyfriend was a policeman.
Seriously, social services and particularly mental health support services, needs FAR more funding in the UK.
Finally, the 'assault' was low level assault, meaning threat to harm, and the child was his daughter.
I think his whole life was pretty dysfunctional and chaotic.
R.I.P to ALL victims
Don't understand what part of "thou shall not kill." is hard to understand? Don't do it!
you think these people care about something some guy 3000 years ago said (which is debatable since it is editable…)
Moat needed therapy and professional help a long time before he found himself opening up to police negotiators.
Counseling? What could they have done? What's their track record? He would've just manipulated any "professional" help.
@@DrJ-hx7wv you're basically asking the age old 'nature or nurture' question. I don't believe that most murderers are genetically pre-programmed to walk that path so it stands to reason that I also believe most of them can be helped not to.
...shot himself... Happy ending to horrifying story
His name was Moat 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Very Sad
What a tragedy. Heartbreaking.
Newcastle is definitely NOT "famous around the UK" for "strip clubs"
True, the girls are already practically naked just walking down the street so what's the point in a strip club?
I remember when this happened, Rip to its victims 😢
Crazy story, he was clearly a maniac. FYI the picture you showed of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital is the one in Birmingham, which is a fantastic looking hospital! But not the one in Newcastle ✌🏼
You should cover Gabriel Wortman. He did a 12 hour killing spree in Nova Scotia, Canada killing 22 people while impersonating a police officer. Its the deadliest rampage in Canadian history
Assault on children
UK: 18 months
USA: 20 years W/O parole.
Ya right
Lmao you're s0 full of sh1t. Especially in Democrat cities you could literally grape and murder someone in broad daylight and be out of jail in 3 days I'm not exaggerating either that's actually happen
A lot of people don't realise due to stereotypes that the UK police are VERY heavily armed. And you really don't want to get on their bad side. Raoul Moat was a vile man who got what he deserved.
It's crazy that he's got supporters
Its difficult for me to get into the stories from across the pond.
Ive never seen so many ads for a video before, plus the details are really watered down for youtube guidelines.
The sentences of his two accomplices was well over the top. 30 and 40 years? Ridiculous. Especially when you consider Moat himself served a whole nine weeks for assaulting a child. Back to front sentencing in action.
How many of the stories begin with unstable women having children that they shouldn’t ?
If only someone would’ve stopped his mother, this man never would’ve existed carry out this reign of terror.
"I know the bible says Judge not, that ye be not judged.. but im just gonna come out and say it, this guy is a real jerk!" - norm
A fruitcake and died like one.
FITTING END FOR SUCH A COLD-BLOODED MURDERER!
Biggest case in the UK?!
(Im moving to the UK)
I was good friends with a girl who was in a relationship with him.
I remember watching this live on tv 21.05 … it was crazy when he was killed ! ! Damn RIP
Not RIP , good riddance
Sorry you meant the victims, not very clear though
Is there any way you can do away with those random fingersnaps in the background? They are annoying and unnecessary.
I have a feeling the ammo he was using was very old or had been stored improperly and that’s a blessing.
No, shotgun shells in the UK are all Bird shot. We don't have buck shot here, as we don't hunt bucks with shotguns. The old double barrelled shotguns in the UK are farmers weapons for hunting birds and killing vermin.
I love your name btw 😂 it is undoubtedly a lie
“For the police, killing is ALWAYS a last resort? Ha. Ha Ha. You can’t be serious…do you watch any news at all?
I'm not on the run, I'm coming to get yer. Shoots random police officers. Absolute maniac Rambo Geordie story.
At twenty four years old feeling unwanted...? Dude when you turn twenty four you should no longer need mommy warm snuggly love. Should be out on your own by then.
I used to live in an upscale neighborhood surrounded by $750k homes, and no employers that payed more than $14/hr
I had to find a roommate across the state to get out of the house at 25
Loads of videos came out about this guy recently, did they just release a load of case notes or something?
You can’t want a good relationship to last when you you have cut off family ties-a relationship is forming a family so it’s simply not gonna work unless he works on that abandonment he was feeling first.
If she didn't say the new guy was a cop, this probably wouldn't have happened. I heard a lot about this case and I can't believe a cricket player tried calming him down. While highly drunk. Crazy..
