Summary
In this episode Caroline and Nick have the evidence which the jury were told casts doubt on some of abuse Tarryn Baird says she was suffering at the hands of her husband. It’s been claimed in court that Chris Trybus was out of the country when some of the attacks took place, and that Tarryn bought a camera which she said he planted to spy on her. But we’ve also heard from her domestic violence advisor that she had bruises and she was too afraid to leave him.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the trial UK, driven to death. I'm Caroline Cheaton. And I'm Nick Fage. |
| 0:13.1 | A warning at the outset, this episode will outline evidence about suicide and allegations of domestic violence. |
| 0:20.8 | Today on the podcast, we'll hear the evidence allegations of domestic violence. Today on the podcast we'll hear the evidence |
| 0:23.6 | from a domestic violence advisor who had dozens of meetings with Taryn Baird who told her she was |

| 1:57.8 | she suffered such sustained abuse that she killed herself in November |

| 2:10.6 | deemed to be suicide. But years later, when her mum was looking through Taryn's phone, |
| 2:15.4 | she found a recording of what she thought might be a sexual |
