THE director of the company which supplied the Tasers used during the Raoul Moat stand-off has died, the firm said tonight.
Peter Boatman, the director of operations of Pro-Tect Systems, is understood to have taken his own life.
Earlier this week, the Home Office revoked Pro-Tect's licence to import and sell Tasers after the firm breached its terms by supplying X12 Tasers directly to police involved in the Moat manhunt.
