A man found dead before a murder investigation was launched was previously jailed after he was caught using 'dirty money' to fuel a jetset lifestyle of luxury holidays and high-powered cars. Detectives launched a probe after Thomas Campbell, 38, was found dead at a property on Riverside, Mossley, Tameside, on Sunday morning.
Police say they believe Mr Campbell was killed in a 'targeted attack', although his cause of death has not been revealed. In 2019, Mr Campbell was jailed for two years at Manchester Crown Court after he admitted concealing criminal property.
He and his wife Coleen, both 35 at the time, splurged £10,000 on ONE holiday; had a double-storey extension to add a bar and bigger kitchen at their house; and spent a fortune on designer clothes and jewellery. They were brought down after Greater Manchester Police began investigating 'the Campbells’ involvement with cocaine supply' in Clayton.
