A two-mile exclusion zone is set up in the Rothbury area of Northumberland, where residents are advised against going outside. In the letter later obtained by The Sun, he promises not to stop his rampage "until I'm dead" and said "the public need to fear me".
The Police Service of Northern Ireland also sends 20 armoured cars to help Northumbria Police, while the Metropolitan Police provide 40 armed officers. Police say that Moat has made threats to the wider public, and urge people to "be vigilant". Later that day, Karl Ness and Qhuram Awan appear in court, accused of aiding in Moat's conspiracy to kill policemen.
Local witnesses in the Rothbury area report seeing a man lying on the ground with a shotgun pressed under his neck. A cordon is set up in the area of Cragside Estate in Rothbury, as Northumbria police begin negotiations with the man.

Armed officers locked down Rothbury and searched several houses in the area, warning locals to be on the lookout for Moat — who they believed may be hiding in the countryside outside the town. After a six-hour standoff with police Moat killed himself using the same sawn-off shotgun used in the earlier shootings. Fronted by journalist and Long Lost Family host Nicky Campbell it will be a one-off, with just one episode rather than a full series.

An inquest in September found that Raoul was not mentally ill. Social media sites celebrating Moat continued to grow. A year after the murders, floral tributes to Moat again appeared. Local residents were disgusted. The permanently scarred Samantha wished that more would remember Christopher. His rate of recovery and his resilience amazed everyone. The economic downturn was blamed. What Northumbria Police did with the information from Durham prison that Moat had the potential to harm his ex-partner is being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
It has already endorsed the police actions on the day Moat died. Without their decisive cordoning and containing of the situation, Moat may have killed many, many more. There will be a full inquest into the death of Christopher Brown. Even now, so life for me is, just existing. On Friday 9 July, seven days after maiming the mother of his child and killing her lover, at 7pm, Moat emerges from the woods surrounding the town of Rothbury. Police surround him. One of the notes is to Samantha.
I love you so much and miss you very, very much An experimental non-approved Taser shotgun, the X12 is authorised for use. When they challenge him on the riverside, Moat drops to the ground. At other times he lies on his front. Whatever his position, he holds his sawn off shotgun to his head or to his throat. Negotiations begin.
They need to persuade him that there is in fact something worth living for. But in those final hours, his real father made himself known to the police. Peter Blake, 68, says he will talk, for the first time, to his son. They fear Moat would not believe Peter to be his real father, but someone sent to talk him down. Unaware that his lifelong quest to know his father was finally in his grasp, Moat asks for Samantha Stobbart, the woman on whom he had fixated and for whom he had killed.
This similarly was considered too risky. I am good friends with him. At pm food and water are brought to the killer. The standoff is now a global news story. Just after 1am, rain starts to fall. Moat is unlikely to have slept for more than a few hours in the last week. For the armed officers, there is respite as exhausted police are replaced by a fresh rotation. For Moat, there is no such relief. His statements to police become increasingly fatalistic.
Police interpret this as an attempt to commit suicide. At am police fire two experimental Taser guns. One hits him on the arm but the other misses. The Tasers fail to incapacitate Moat. Moat repositions the gun to the side of his head. He saw him fall backwards into the long grass. I tell you now I am absolutely not going to stop He says Moat wants him.

The Met police send 40 armed officers. In total 19 police forces join the hunt for Moat. If you still loved me and our baby you would not be doing this.
A member of public rings in claiming to have seen the black Lexus. The police find it next to some industrial units on the edge of a quiet market town, Rothbury.
The three fugitives have split up and Ness and Awan have walked on the main road away from Rothbury. A helicopter tracks them. A firecracker-like stun grenade disorients and distracts them. Armed officers handcuff and arrest them.
Just after am, a two mile exclusion zone is set up in the Rothbury area of Northumberland. Residents are advised to stay indoors. Moat is hoping to lose himself in the area.
He knows it well from camping there in his twenties. Sniper units begin combing the wilderness. They find a Dictaphone on which Moat has excused and justified his actions. Chillingly he now says the public, as much as the police are in his sights. Realising how precarious the situation is, the press agree to report on the manhunt, but not on the man. An RAF Tornado jet equipped with heat seeking equipment circles in the sky.
Thursday sees police agree to station officers outside schools. This allows the police to focus on the manhunt, not on crowd control.
