Stobbart and Moat dated each other for six years. They met through mutual friends when she was just sixteen years old. They had an age difference of fifteen years.
The former couple shared a then-four-year-old daughter together. Her daughter must be in her teenage years by now.
Moat had been in prison prior to the attack for assault. Ms. Stobbart started dating karate instructor Chris Brown during that time as Moat was prone to violent behavior.
She informed Moat of her new relationship while he was in prison. She apparently told him she was dating a policeman as she wanted him to leave her alone.
