A man who was acquitted of allegations of coercive control over his wife prior to her suicide has refuted claims of violence, emphasizing his love for her. Christopher Trybus, 44, faced a trial for manslaughter where it was asserted that he had subjected Tarryn Baird to coercion and sexual violence, ultimately leading to her death. However, Trybus, of Swindon, Wilts, denied the accusations, stating that he was abroad during the time of the alleged incidents.
During the trial at Winchester Crown Court, Trybus maintained his innocence and expressed deep sorrow over the situation. He vehemently denied causing any harm to his wife and asserted that the accusations were contrary to his character and their relationship. Despite the prosecution presenting evidence of injuries on Tarryn’s body, Trybus was cleared of all charges including manslaughter, rape, and controlling behavior.
Following Tarryn’s passing in 2017, Trybus remarried and spoke out about the toll the legal proceedings had taken on his life. He shared his anguish over the loss of Tarryn and the distress caused by the accusations against him. Trybus also disclosed the financial strain resulting from the legal battle but emphasized the importance of his freedom above all else.
Throughout the trial, intimate details of Trybus and Tarryn’s marriage, including their sex life, were scrutinized in court. Despite the revelations, Trybus maintained that the portrayal of their relationship was inaccurate and expressed discomfort over the public discussion of their private matters. He provided alibis for certain incidents when Tarryn alleged abuse, highlighting his absence from the country at those times.
In a statement, Trybus acknowledged the emotional turmoil caused by the trial and the uncertainty regarding his future. He expressed concerns about the impact on his reputation and financial stability but underscored the significance of maintaining his liberty.
