Forensics officers at the scene of the double tragedy in College Road near Thornton Abbey, Lincolnshire
Cops have launched a murder probe but say they are not seeking any other suspects in relation to the double tragedy.
Robert and Rose ran White Lodge Shooting School, near the medieval ruins of Thornton Abbey in North Lincs.
Now it’s been claimed that Rose was shot by her 'angry and jealous' husband after he was unable to accept that she'd moved on with someone new.
It’s believed they had separated after she fell for a man she met at the shooting school.
Next-door neighbour Andrew Farrow senior told MailOnline: “The couple had split up and their school had been closed temporarily for personal reasons because of it.
“We understand he was jealous and who knows what things go around in people's brains.
“We assume it was gunshot, and that he had shot his wife and then himself.”
Another resident, who declined to be named, added: “The couple had separated last month.

“Rose had a new boyfriend and Rob was fuming when he found out. He couldn't bear losing his lovely wife to another man.
“She is a very pretty lady and an accomplished shooter herself.”
In social media posts, Robert and Rose stated they bought White Lodge in 1991 and “decided to turn it into a shooting school, where we specialised in clay shooting tuition".
They added: "Over the years we have branched out to include corporate entertainment as well as clay shooting tuition.
"We are a relaxed, friendly establishment where we can give clients ‘the personal touch' and an enjoyable day out.
"White Lodge Shooting School is suitable for all levels of experience from the complete beginner to the more advanced shooter with a number of different activities to participate in to make your day with us special.
