Ms Rufino, who was originally from Portugal, was a company director at Leeds Occupational Health, which provides medical advice and clinical support across the north-east of England.

Her business partner, Dr Jacqueline Senior, said she and her colleagues ‘were all devastated’.

Detectives are treating the incident as a murder-suicide and are not looking for anyone else.
