"Tom Little KC, prosecuting, stated that the control and physical violence, including sexual violence, inflicted on Tarryn Baird led to her tragic decision to take her own life."
"Baird made more than 100 visits to her GP, where she reported being raped and showed signs of physical abuse, including bruising from beatings."
"In her note, Baird expressed deep sorrow, stating, 'I just couldn't take it any more' and emphasized that nothing could have changed her situation."
Christopher Trybus, 43, was found not guilty of manslaughter, rape, and coercive behavior after a seven-week trial. His wife, Tarryn Baird, 34, died by suicide in 2017. The jury deliberated for over 40 hours before acquitting Trybus. Allegations included tracking Baird, limiting her finances, and threats of revealing private information. Baird had reported being raped and had over 100 GP visits for injuries. She attempted to leave but feared for her safety. A note left by Baird expressed her despair and desire for freedom from her situation.
