A husband is believed to have murdered his wife after she posted a message on Facebook saying she was leaving him - and then took his own life. Mother-of-two Tracey Grinhaff was found dead in an outbuilding in the back garden of the home she shared with husband Gary, in Wombwell near Barnsley on Friday. But two weeks earlier she wrote on her Facebook profile that she was “currently splitting” from her electrical engineer husband. She added: "Been married for 16 years but together for 26!!!! God that makes me sound old."
 Neighbours say Gary had found out Tracey had been having an affair but that has not been confirmed. South Yorkshire Police said the 42-year-old died after sustaining a head injury while the body of her husband was found shortly after at a nearby local beauty spot. A post mortem carried out on the body of the 41-year-old indicated he had died from "self-inflicted injuries," believed to be to the head and face.  Tributes have been paid to the mother of two A force spokesperson said: "We are satisfied that we are not looking for anyone else involved with this incident."
