<p><br /> The mother of the man murdered by gunman Raoul Moat has attacked police for not "keeping an eye" on her son.<br /> </p><p><br /> Chris Brown's mother said officers should have warned the 29-year-old karate instructor they had received intelligence from Durham Prison suggesting his life was in danger.<br /> </p><p><br /> Moat, a steroid-addicted former nightclub doorman, was released from prison on July 1 after serving a short sentence for assault.<br /> </p><p><br /> A day later he shot his former girlfriend Samantha Stobbart, 22, and killed Mr Brown at a house in Birtley, near Chester-le-Street, County Durham.<br /> </p><p><br /> Miss Stobbart, in an apparent attempt to protect herself from the burly 37-year-old, had told Moat she was dating a police officer. This enraged the jealous father-of-three - who held numerous bitter grudges against the police - and could have sparked his rampage.<br /> </p><p><br /> Police have continued their painstaking search in Rothbury - the spot where Moat shot himself, and the inquest into Moat's death will be opened and adjourned on Tuesday in Newcastle at 1pm.<br /> </p>
