A man's use of "physical and sexual violence" to control his wife led her to take her own life, a court has heard.
Warning: This story contains descriptions some readers may find distressing, including references to suicide. Christopher Trybus, of Swindon, Wiltshire, is accused of the manslaughter of Tarryn Baird, who died aged 34 in November 2017.
The 43-year-old also faces charges at Winchester Crown Court of controlling and coercive behaviour, and two charges of rape. The coercive control charge alleges he controlled Ms Baird through both using and threatening violence, sexually assaulting her, monitoring her whereabouts, limiting her access to finance, threatening to reveal private information to her family and isolating her from them.
Tom Little KC, prosecuting, said he carried out "extensive and escalating controlling, coercive and manipulative behaviour, including sexual violence of two rapes and other sexual assaults". He said: "It took place over a sustained period of time behind closed doors and all of it during the course of a marriage." Mr Little said Trybus controlled "many aspects of their relationship" even when abroad, by using the "threat and fear of physical and sexual violence.
