Where Raoul Moat's ex Samantha Stobbart is now and fears over ITV drama

The ex-girlfriend of vicious gunman Raoul Moat continues to face social media abuse to this day, according to her sister.

Samantha Stobbart met Moat aged 16, but never anticipated the nightmare he would put her through when he embarked on a killing spree fuelled by vengeance and jealousy. In the six years they spent together, the Mirror reports, Moat fathered her child before murdering her new boyfriend after she falsely claimed he was a police officer.

More than a decade on from the horrific shootings in July 2010, ITV has dramatised the six-day manhunt in a three-part drama. Those behind The Hunt For Raoul Moat say the show aims to tell the story of the victims – but they have been accused of glorifying his crimes.
