SCIENTISTS have yet to reach a conclusion on how shotgun murderer Raoul Moat died, his family claimed yesterday.

A pathologist is continuing his examination of the former bouncer's body after beginning a second post-mortem on Tuesday. More tests are to be done before the post-mortem's findings are made public.

His uncle, Charlie Alexander, and tax inspector brother Angus paid 600 for the second post-mortem. An initial probe carried out the day after Moat, 37, died near the riverbank in Rothbury, Northumberland, found the cause of death to be a gunshot wound consistent with the weapon he was carrying.
