Rachel Harrison, 54, was shot twice in the head and once in the chest by 59-year-old Richard Harrison.
One member of the parish council, who asked not to be named, said Richard and Rachel were very much respected and that their deaths had rocked the farming town.
Leicestershire Area Coroner Ivan Cartwright said: "In shooting Mrs Harrison, her husband intended to kill or to cause her serious bodily harm.".
A HUSBAND shot his wife dead then killed himself in a murder-suicide on their isolated family farm, an inquest concluded.
An inquest found Harrison shot Rachel using a legally-owned rifle.
