<p>One of two men accused of helping shotgun killer Raoul Moat during his murderous rampage wrote a secret note for his girlfriend in a &#8220;crude attempt&#8221; to get her to help his defence, a court has been told.</p>
<p>Karl Ness, who hid the letter in his shoe while he was on remand, wanted his partner to back up his story that Moat forced him and co-defendant Qhuram Awan to assist him, and that they were being held hostage, Newcastle Crown Court heard.</p>
<p>Obsessive Moat shot his ex-girlfriend Sam Stobbart, killed her new boyfriend and the next day blinded unarmed Pc David Rathband after going hunting for police officers.</p>
<p>Ness, 26, from Dudley, North Tyneside, denies murdering Chris Brown, who was executed with three shots by Moat. Both defendants deny conspiracy to murder, the attempted murder of Pc Rathband, a firearms offence and robbery of a Northumberland fish and chip shop.</p>
<p>Robert Smith QC, prosecuting, told the jury the note was found during a routine search at Holme House Prison where Ness was being held on remand. The letter, which was intended to be passed on to his girlfriend during a visit, instructed her in his version of events after Moat had carried out the double shooting, the jury heard.</p>
<p>Ness wrote to her: &#8220;At roughly 3.30am Raoul turned up at yours going crazy and telling you what he did and what he had done!&#8221;</p>
<p>In his version, she then summoned him to come to her home with Awan.</p>
<p>&#8220;I got there and there was Raoul pointing a gun at you. He told me everything what he had done and me and Shaun (Awan&#8217;s nickname) were in shock.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ness added: &#8220;He said he was taking us for insurance. That&#8217;s the last you seen of us!!! Raoul said if the police come to you don&#8217;t tell the truth or you&#8217;re f****d.&#8221;</p>
<p>The case was adjourned until Monday when the first witness is due to give evidence.</p>
