Moat inquest to examine Taser use

A jury at the inquest of cornered killer Raoul Moat will consider whether police should have used unauthorised Taser weapons on the night, the UK coroner has said.

The 37-year-old ex-doorman shot himself in the head in Rothbury, Northumberland, after being hit by a shotgun Taser round fired by marksmen who believed he was preparing to kill himself.
