The mother of a woman who took her own life after she was allegedly abused by her husband has described seeing bruises on her daughter's body prior to her death. Christopher Trybus, of Swindon, Wiltshire, is accused of the manslaughter of his wife Tarryn Baird who died in November 2017, aged 34. Michelle Baird, from Swindon, told Winchester Crown Court on Thursday her daughter would need to "ask permission" from Trybus to use her house and car keys that were kept in a drawer in his office. Trybus, a software consultant, is also charged with controlling and coercive behaviour and two counts of rape alleged to have happened in October and November 2016. He denies all charges. The coercive control charge alleges that Trybus controlled Baird through using and threatening violence towards her, sexually assaulting her, monitoring her whereabouts, limiting access to finance, threatening to reveal private information to her family and isolating her from her family. Michelle Baird told jurors her daughter had moved to the UK from South Africa with Trybus in 2007 when they were not in a relationship. The pair married in South Africa in October 2009 before returning to the UK the same year. M
