He was acquitted of all charges: manslaughter, coercive and controlling behaviour and two counts of rape. The case had been brought after his wife, Tarryn Baird, 34, took her own life in 2017. Prior to her death, she made allegations that Trybus had been abusive to her.

I can't imagine anything worse than that. So, it can't be just growth at any cost. There has to be some regulation."
