[IwantToRetire]

The first of a three-part crime drama, based on real events. Samantha Stobbart's fears about the release of her violent ex-boyfriend Raoul Moat from prison become justified.

Thank you

I'm confused as to why one of the other men got sent down for murder as I didn't think he was involved until later

Two accomplices who helped shotgun killer Raoul Moat during his murderous rampage last summer have been jailed for life with minimum terms of 40 years and 20 years before they are eligible for release.

The longer sentence was given to Karl Ness, 26, who was convicted of the murder of a karate instructor who was shot and killed by Moat in July 2010.

His co-defendant, Qhuram Awan, 23, was given life with a 20-year tariff for conspiracy to murder, attempted murder, and robbery of a chip shop, following a five-week trial at Newcastle crown court.

Ness was with Moat on the night he shot his ex-girlfriend Samantha Stobbart and killed her new boyfriend, Chris Brown – who he wrongly believed was a serving police officer – last July. He was convicted of murdering Brown and a firearms offence, even though he didn't pull the trigger.

Sounds like an earlier version of "joint enterprise".

WTF.

People in her situation (who aren’t terribly bright) are often manipulated by journalists to ‘tell their story first’ and when you’ve spent the last few days being trolled I can completely understand why you succumb to not wanting to be a figure of national hate.

I mean FFS what has it come to when we’re picking apart the actions of a DV victim!!

Do you know her personally?

Also I’m not buying that he only shot Chris Brown because he thought he was a police officer.

Moat was a psycho, a jealous lunatic and that poor man never stood a chance.

@YouWonJayne no but i know one of the victims and their family personally!
