Inquest Finds Husband Unlawfully Killed Rose Jobson Before Taking His Own Life

Police had earlier removed six licensed shotguns from the shooting school after she reported feeling unsafe.

Overview

  • Area coroner Jayne Wilkes delivered the conclusions at Cleethorpes Town Hall on January 8, 2026.
  • Humberside Police said Robert Jobson was arrested on July 8, 2023 and released on bail barring contact with his wife or attendance at the home.
  • Hours before the shooting, he obtained a double-barrelled shotgun from a friend after claiming he needed to shoot crows, and the friend was unaware of the marital separation.
  • Evidence of planning included buying a black car the day before, parking it on a neighbour’s drive, and waiting for Rose to return.
  • A post-mortem found Rose was shot first from several metres away then at close range as she exited her car, and Robert died from a self-inflicted neck wound.
