Welcome to the Trial UK, Driven to Death. I'm Caroline Cheatham. And I'm Nick Fage.

A warning, this episode will outline evidence about suicide from the beginning and also allegations of domestic violence.

So today on the podcast, we're going to hear that Chris Tribus feels betrayed by his wife's allegations. He says he never abused her or beat

her up and he has proof that he was nowhere near her when she says she was attacked.

He said on one of the occasions when she sent an email to a domestic violence charity

saying she had to leave him, they were together in Scotland on a luxury holiday.

He said he may have buried his head in the sand about the extent of her problems

and he was probably too wrapped up in his work.

But he now feels confusion about what she was alleging about him.

Welcome to episode 10, bully or betrayed.

We'll be back to the podcast. We're well into the defence case now, which means that Chris Tribus is still giving evidence to his barrister, who of course is Katie Thorn Casey. It's probably going to finish, we think, that evidence in the next couple of hours, recording this on Friday morning. And then we expect Tom Little Casey, the prosecutor,

to start cross-examining him, which will bring you, of course, on Tuesday next week.

But we'll stick with what he's been saying to Katie Thorne, who of course is his own barrister.

And she's been taking him through things like his diary,

his text messages, and his emails to plot not just where he was, but what he was doing in the

period of time before Taryn took her life. And of course, the crux of the defence case is

Chris Tribus loved his wife. He never hurt

her. And during some of the occasions when she told people that she was being attacked by him,

he wasn't even in the country. So Nick, we said on Tuesday when he started to give evidence that

he appeared to be pretty uncomfortable,

but that seems to have changed in the last couple of days.

We've said before this experience can be a very bruising one for anyone.
