The wife of a man who plotted against him before he was tortured to death did not intend for him to be seriously harmed, her barrister has claimed. Thomas Campbell's killers are in Bolton Crown Court today (February 22) to learn their fate after being convicted earlier this week.
Coleen Campbell, 38, had been married to Mr Campbell for a decade. She was found guilty of manslaughter after plotting to have him robbed of cash or drugs in his own home in Mossley, Tameside.
A trial heard how Ms Campbell provided key intelligence on Mr Campbell's whereabouts to the mastermind of the attack, 28-year-old John Belfield, who is wanted by police after going on the run. He recruited armed robber Reece Steven, 29, and convicted knifeman Stephen Cleworth, 38, as part of the plan.
