Barrister says dead woman was put on trial' after husband cleared of manslaughter

He was acquitted of all charges: manslaughter, coercive and controlling behaviour and two counts of rape. The case had been brought after his wife, Tarryn Baird, 34, took her own life in 2017. Prior to her death, she made allegations that Trybus had been abusive to her. Trybus's defence argued that Baird had made false allegations because she was bored and lonely, and because she was desperately seeking help for her mental health issues, and feeling she wasn't receiving it and she may have become addicted to the attention that her allegations brought.
