Ex-policeman who supplied Tasers fired at Raoul Moat siege kills himself

A former policeman who supplied the controversial Tasers used to stun murderer Raoul Moat is believed to have committed suicide after his company lost its licence to sell the weapons.
Peter Boatman, 57, is thought to have feared his business Pro-Tect Systems would collapse after the lucrative Government licence was revoked last week. He had also recently learned that his company might face police action for breaching the terms of its licence and supplying the weapons directly to Northamptonshire Police, where Mr Boatman was a former inspector.(Daily Mail)
