RIP

It was only last week that he was saying on Twitter that he'd tried to win his wife back but she'd said no so it would appear you're right.

Am sure he's got 2 or 3 kids. Tragic.

All because of that kunt Moat.

I'd imagine losing your living, your family and effectively your freedom because of the actions of some mental wanker with a pointless grudge who then had his life spared by colleagues of yours who had him pinned down in a ditch and has now been put into jail a probable hero for leading the police on a wild goose chase and shooting a copper has an effect on a man that most help simply is ineffective for.

There was loads of pro Moat stuff on Facebook.

I don't remember anything on here, they'd have been shot down in flames I'm sure.

I was over in Thailand when it was all kicking off with Moat, didn't realise how big of a story it was til I got back. But I do remember coming back and seeing Facebook status' cheering him on to escape getting caught
