This is a transcript of the call.

Raoul Moat (RM): "Hello there, this is the gunman from Birtley last night. What I'm phoning about is, is to tell you exactly why I have done what I have done, right?

"Now, my girlfriend has been having an affair behind my back with one of your officers.

"This gentleman that I shot last night, the karate instructor, right, now, I … Yous b******* have been on to me, right, for years.

"Yous have hassled us, harassed us, yous just won't leave us alone.

"I went straight six years ago when I met her and I have tried my best to have a normal life and you just won't let up … I can't drive down the street without the blue lights flashing.

"Yous have stitched us up for years; you have been in court stitching us up, so the fact of the matter is, right … She has had an affair with one of your officers. If he had not been a police officer I would not have shot him."

Call handler (CH): "OK."

Raoul Moat: "It's as simple as that, right? But the thing is, you know, it's been going on for a while. I went to jail, right, I was stitched up by yous for hitting my kids, which I did not do."

CH: "Right, right."

RM: "Now I have went to jail, right, longer than I should have."

CH: "Hang on, hang on a minute, you're losing me, yeah."

RM: "I went to jail longer than I should have for something I didn't do, right? Which justified that in your own head, right? Meanwhile, while I'm in there doing that for my missus, right, she's having an affair with one of your officers, right. She's winding us up, saying that yous are going to stitch us up using him."

CH: "Yeah."

RM: "Right. And I know that he is this and that, is going to, cause he's a multiple black belt, that he is going to kick my a*** all over the place."

CH: "Right, OK, sorry."

RM: "And I have had nothing but grief … You police have took too much off me over the years."

CH: "OK."

RM: "Yous won't leave us alone. And now yous think you can take me missus.

"Now, I didn't mean to shoot her like that, right, that was …"

CH: "OK, OK."

RM: "Right. He deserved it, right, but she, right … you can run ballistics - I was altering those cartridges, right.

"That one was half the powder, that … it was meant to get her compensation because obviously I'm not going to be around in a few days, right, it was meant to just give her a little injury so she can get lots of compensation."

CH: "Okay."

RM: "Like, for the bairn. Now that I have found out that she's critical I'm not happy about it.

"I did not mean that, you know what I mean?"

CH: "Right, right."

RM: "I can't, I can't … But the fact of the matter is I'm not coming in alive. Yous have hassled me for so many years. If you come anywhere near me I'll kill yous."I have got two hostages at the moment, right - come anywhere near me and I'll kill them as well.

"I'm coming to get yous. I'm not on the run - I'm coming to get you."
