The Raoul Moat Tapes:...

Raoul Moat was Britain's most wanted man, and for a week the hunt for him dominated the news.

With access to hours of audio recordings that Moat made over two years, detailing his battles with the police and authorities, Cutting Edge provides an in-depth examination into his disturbed mental state.

Using first-hand testimony, excerpts from the tapes and expert psychological analysis, Cutting Edge asks what drove this fugitive gunman to kill. Featuring interviews with friends, relatives and neighbours who have known him for years, the film provides an insight into his character traits and motivations.

Providing a forensic examination of the events leading up to Moat's murderous rampage, Cutting Edge unpicks the speculation and myths surrounding the killer whose suicide sparked a wave of sympathy and tributes online.

The film explores Moat's childhood with an absent father; how he came to terms with his new step-father and later became estranged from his mother - despite the fact that they lived close to each other.

The film builds a picture of Moat as a steroid user and body-building obsessive but also as a father. Drawing on new information and insights, Cutting Edge looks at the events that shaped Moat the murderer and how his actions have affected those who survive him.
