AN inquest into the deaths of a couple at the centre of a murder/suicide police investigation has revealed more details about what happened.

Bradford coroner Martin Fleming heard how police broke into a house in Cross Road, Idle, and found Margaride Rufino's body on the living room floor.

Her partner, Anthony Roberts, was upstairs in a bath with a self-inflicted leg wound and a pulse.

The court heard a neighbour called 999 just before 6.30pm on Sunday, January 31. They told the operator a woman had come from the couple's house reporting a domestic incident.

When police arrived, the home was locked and they had to force their way into the back of the property and found 38-year-old Ms Rufino's body under a blood-stained sheet.

POLICE TREAT GUIDA RUFINO AND ANTHONY ROBERTS' DEATHS IN CROSS ROAD, IDLE, AS MURDER AND SUICIDE

Despite officers starting CPR on Mr Roberts, a 37-year-old teacher, paramedics declared him dead a short time later.

Police believe Mr Roberts killed Ms Rufino, known as Guida, before taking his own life.

The inquest heard how Ms Rufino, a director with an occupational health firm, had been in a relationship with Mr Roberts for about five years and they had lived in the house since having a baby girl two years go.

The child was not at home at the time of the incident.

Detective Inspector Paul Conroy from West Yorkshire police's Major Inquiry Unit said based on evidence so far, officers were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.

The inquest was adjourned until May 31.
