Has Raoul Moat been here before?

Kenn Griffiths on September 28, 2010

The similarity between Moat and his actions are chillingly close to the 1982 incident when fugitive and police hater Barry Prudom spent 18 days on the run skillfully using escape and evasion techniques he’d learned from books and survival magazines in his effort to kill as many police officers as he could.

Like Moat, Prudom was a fitness fanatic, and lived a Rambo style existence using the natural surroundings for cover and food as he played out his police killing role.

My mentor and trainer Sgt Major Eddie McGee was a military survival expert and tracker called in by the police to help in the hunt. Eddie led the police to the feet of the triple killer who had used a discarded plastic sheet to construct a hide and shelter within 300 yards of a local police station. Armed and dangerous Prudom lay in wait. McGee used his skills to get so close to the killer that he touched his boot giving the waiting police Prudom’s exact position. Moments later four high velocity shots rang out and Prudom was dead.

Police searching for Raoul Moat would be wise to re-visit the intelligence in the Prudom case as the similarity between the two men is quite bizarre.

Kenn Talks

Kenn Griffiths on September 1, 2010

Kenn is also in demand as an after dinner speaker and lecturer and has spoken on a variety of educational and entertaining topics. Talks can be adapted to suit the audience from corporate motivational training to enthralling school children with survival tips and tricks.

Below is a video taken at a recent survival talk and book signing session at Mostly Books, New Bookshop of the Year 2008, in Oxfordshire.

“Kenn is a remarkable individual. I first met him at an event last year, but had the opportunity on Tuesday to talk to him at length about how he came to be teaching survival skills – something that has taken him from the army, via a number of “career changes” (which in this instance is highly euphemistic, given the highly dangerous nature of much of what he has done, and continues to do). He is very softly spoken, but the most remarkable aspect of his teaching is the way he engages kids totally – particularly boys – so that you just know they are taking onboard everything he’s teaching them.“
