I'd just like to take the time to pay my respects to PC David Rathband who was found dead at his home on Wednesday night.
The body of David Rathband, 44, was found by police at his home in Blyth on Wednesday night after officers received a report of concern for his
welfare.
It would appear that Raoul Moat has managed to kill another from beyond the grave.

Personally I was absolutely gutted by the news, I've never met the man personally and have no connection to the guy but his story and the ordeal he
endured moved me to tears from the start. I, like many others, thought he demonstrated a
huge amount of courage and bravery in his road to
recovery, it's just an absolute shame he couldn't cope in the end.
In the process of trying to deal and accept the events that happened to him, he lost his wife, family, job and finances, not to mention his eyesight
and a quality of living that we all take for granted.
After everything he went through, he selflessly set up his own charity to support members of the emergency services who have been injured doing their
"day job"
