David Boulter killed wife Deborah, at their home on Monday, October 9 last year, after he convinced himself that she was having an affair with a friend.
A paranoid husband killed his wife and then took his own life after hiring a private investigator to probe false claims she was cheating on him.
His son frantically tried to call family members to check on his dad, after the 27-minute chat, before calling an ambulance and police. Officers then saw a light in an outbuilding at the property, where they found Mr Boulter's body, DC Hopson said. The officer said that despite the quick police response and CPR on the pair, they were pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
DC Hopson explained that CCTV and neighbour interviews showed that no one else had entered the property between the last sightings of the pair on Sunday, October 8 and their deaths. A post-mortem examination of Mrs Boulter showed she had a number of injuries to the head and face, with lip and tongue injuries implying she had been smothered, the inquest heard.
The doctor who carried out the examination added: "These injuries are consistent with pressure being applied to the mouth and jaw". The medic added these could have been from being pushed against the bed or having an object like a pillow pushed against her head.
