An inquest has heard a man from West Yorkshire who wrongly believed his wife was having an affair killed her and their two children before jumping from a cliff.
Paul Newman, 42, hit Geraldine Newman, 51, over the head with a hammer and stabbed Shannon, 11, and Shane, six, at their home in Allerton Bywater in 2016.
Wakefield Coroner’s Court heard that he then went to Holyhead, Anglesey, and jumped 240ft to his death.
The inquest also heard Mr Newman had been due to begin therapy for anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder and was on medication he felt was altering his behaviour.
The coroner concluded Mrs Newman, Shannon and Shane were unlawfully killed and Newman took his own life.
