Outside court, Trybus hugged his current wife Bea, who he married in August 2024, with both of them in tears.
Describing how he felt about Baird in light of the allegations, he told the court: “It’s such a complex feeling, I loved her dearly and she has gone and said all of these things.
“At no point has this ever happened, it’s such a mix of emotions, I am upset that she said these things but she is not here so I can’t be upset with her.
“It’s not something I can put into words.”
