Our thanks to Gerry for this (Mail, £). He writes:

“Does the obvious question even need asking? What about all those poor men who were driven to suicide by their controlling and abusive wives?”

In the same vein, what about all those poor men who commit suicide as a result of denial of access to their beloved children following false allegations made by their controlling and abusive ex-partners in family courts (often in order to obtain Legal Aid, denied to those same men.)

We don’t know from the article what the substance of the allegations is, but how can they be anything other than statements she made to others before her suicide? And how can the defence lawyer challenge the trustworthiness of a dead woman (and the trustworthiness of those to whom she allegedly commmunicated), in order to properly defend the man? It will be a kangaroo court.

The controlling and coercive behaviour is alleged to have taken place between December 2015 and November 2017, when the man’s partner committed suicide. An extract from the article:

“The controlling and coercive behaviour is alleged to have taken place between December 2015 and the date of Ms Baird’s death. The company director is also accused of raping Ms Baird between October and November 2016.”
