IT consultant husband accused of driving wife to suicide cleared

A wealthy IT consultant accused of causing his wife to take her own life through a 'tsunami of abuse' has been acquitted after he argued she had been a fantasist who had set him up.Christopher Trybus sobbed in the dock as he was cleared of the manslaughter of Tarryn Baird, 34, who was found hanging in the garage of the couple's five-bedroom house.He has always vehemently denied that he was in any way responsible for her death.Trybus was also cleared of controlling and coercive behaviour and two charges of rape following more than 40 hours of jury deliberation at Winchester Crown Court.She had killed herself hours after she made a series of calls to mental health services and a day after she had attended her local police station in 2017 - leading to almost a decade in which Trybus has been under investigation or on trial.The Porsche-driving software expert, who earned up to £300,000 a year, went on to marry Polish-born Beata in 2024, six years after his first wife's suicide.
