Raoul Moat Fans Plan Boozy 15th Anniversary Party Rothbury
Fans of Raoul Moat, the notorious killer involved in a 2010 shooting spree in Northumberland and Gateshead, are reportedly planning a boozy party to mark the 15th anniversary of his death at the site where he shot himself following a six-hour standoff with police. Moat's violent rampage included the murder of Chris Brown, the shooting of his ex-girlfriend Sam Stobbart, and blinding PC David Rathband, who later took his own life struggling with his injuries. The spot where Moat ended his life, now a wildflower meadow on the banks of the River Coquet in Rothbury, has attracted morbid visitors taking selfies and holding gatherings, leading to increased police patrols and threats to use dispersal powers. Locals express deep frustration and fear that the anniversary and ongoing media coverage—such as documentaries and books—have fostered a disturbing fan base celebrating Moat, disrupting the peace of the village. Residents have warned those planning to gather to stay away, condemning the glorification of the killer and pleading for respect for the victims and the community. The anniversary event continues to stir controversy amid efforts to prevent further disturbance and sensationalism surrounding Moat's legacy.
