Christopher Trybus charged with manslaughter of Tarryn Baird, rape and coercive and controlling behaviour
A woman who took her own life after being subjected to a campaign of “physical and sexual violence” by her husband told her family “I am so sorry but I just couldn’t take it any more”, a court has heard.
Tarryn Baird, 34, was found dead at her home in Swindon, Wiltshire, on 28 November 2017.
Christopher Trybus, 43, is charged with his wife’s manslaughter as well as two counts of rape and coercive and controlling behaviour. He denies all the charges.
Opening the trial at Winchester crown court on Tuesday, prosecutors said Trybus’s behaviour towards Baird had escalated in the two years before her death and that he was alleged to have raped her twice in late 2016.
