The man who led the hunt for Raoul Moat has hit out at the “hero worship” of the killer.
Neil Adamson, the former head of Northumbria CID, described Moat as a “controlling and deranged misogynistic bully”.
Former nightclub bouncer Moat, 37, made headlines around the world when he eluded capture for six days while on the run in July, 2010. He shot and seriously wounded his former girlfriend Samantha Stobbart, then 22.
