A man accused of causing his wife’s suicide by abusing and controlling her has told a court that a conversation about dissolving a body in acid did not refer to her, but was inspired by a moment in the television show Breaking Bad.
Christopher Trybus, of Swindon, Wiltshire, is accused of the manslaughter of Tarryn Baird, who took her own life in November 2017, aged 34.
The 44-year-old software consultant and developer also faces charges of controlling and coercive behaviour and two charges of rape at Winchester Crown Court.
He has denied raping, sexually assaulting, being violent towards, and controlling Baird, along with being responsible for her death.
