Christopher Trybus, of Swindon, also found not guilty of coercive and controlling behaviour towards Tarryn Baird

A man has been cleared of waging a campaign of domestic abuse and sexual violence on his wife, who went on to take her own life.

Christopher Trybus, 43, was charged with manslaughter, as well as with two counts of rape and coercive and controlling behaviour, but was found not guilty after a seven-week trial at Winchester crown court.

The jury acquitted Trybus on all charges after deliberating for 40 hours and eight minutes.

Tarryn Baird, 34, was found dead at her home in Swindon, Wiltshire, on 28 November 2017. The couple, who met at school, had moved to the UK from their native South Africa in 2007 and married two years later.
