The last act in the drama came after Moat - lying on a grassy field just yards from the river - yielded what the police described as a "living will" to the negotiators pleading with him to establish his weapon.

"At the very last minute, the men were in sight of him started to go forward with a great deal of noise to disorient people to HIM while His side, he did not know were there Would have jumped on him and pinned his limbs As much as we would deal with a potential suicide bomber.
