A man and woman who were found dead at a shooting school have been named by their relatives.

Humberside Police, who have launched a murder investigation, said that Robert Jobson, aged 84, and Rose Jobson, 69, have been identified by their families and that officers are not looking for anyone else in relation to their deaths.

Police were called to White Lodge Shooting School on College Road near Thornton Curtis, about six miles south of the Humber Bridge in North Lincolnshire, at around 3.40pm on Friday after reports of a concern for safety.

A man and woman were pronounced dead at the scene.

Senior investigating officer Chief Inspector Al Curtis, from the Major Crime Team said: “Both Robert and Rose’s families continue to be supported by specially trained officers as they come to terms with their loss.

“My thoughts remain with them at this incredibly difficult time.

“Understandably, a tragic incident like this will cause shock amongst the community, and my officers continue to support local residents by conducting house to house visits to offer reassurance and engage with the community as they come to terms with what has happened.

“We can confirm we are not looking for anyone else in relation to their deaths.

“If anyone has any concerns, please speak to our officers.”
