Killers who 'tortured man to death' will not have jail terms extended, top lawyer says

The sentences given to Thomas Campbell's murderers were not 'unduly lenient', a senior Government lawyer has said.

The 38-year-old was 'tortured' to death' in his own home after he was ambushed by three men at his front door in July last year, Manchester Evening News reports. During the horrific two ordeal, he was stabbed, beaten and strangled, as well as having boiling water poured on his genitals.

He was then left for dead while his killers robbed him. Thomas's body was found the next day by a neighbour in the hallway of his home in Mossley, Tameside.
