Drug dealer dad killed in 'extraordinary act of barbarism'

A MUM has been found guilty of her ex-husband's killing after he was tortured to death in an 'extraordinary act of barbarism.

Coleen Campbell, who was married to Thomas Campbell for 10 years, plotted to have him robbed of cash or drugs in his own home.

Mr Campbell, 38, was ambushed and attacked by three men as he unlocked his front door.

After being subdued he was carried into his home and brutally murdered. Dad Mr Campbell, a cocaine dealer who played an 'integral part in an organised crime gang, was dragged around his home and viciously attacked for two hours. He suffered 61 separate injuries after being stabbed, punched, stamped on and he even had boiling water poured on his buttocks. His killers left him to die and his body was discovered the next morning by neighbours in Mossley, Tameside.

After a five-week trial, mum-of-four Coleen Campbell was found not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter, after she shared vital information about her former spouse's whereabouts with his killers.

Convicted armed robber Reece Steven, 29, was one of the three attackers on Saturday, July 2. He was convicted of murder.

Stephen Cleworth, 38, who had been due to be at Mr Campbell's home that night but did not attend because he was on a 'bender' at a swingers club, was found not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter.
