The family of murdered dad Thomas Campbell say they finally have 'justice' for their son after three people, including his ex-wife, were jailed for their roles in his savage killing. The 38-year-old was tortured to death in his own home after he was ambushed on his doorstep by three armed men, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Mr Campbell, who was a convicted drug dealer, was tied up, stabbed and beaten for hours while his killers raided his home in search of valuables, cash and drugs. The dad-of-two is understood to have played an essential role in an organised crime gang and was found dead in his hallway the next morning, wearing just a pair of socks, by a horrified neighbour.
The victim's family spoke of their 'unimaginable pain' in court after Mr Campbell's ex-wife Coleen Campbell 'consoled' them and told everyone 'how much she still loved him' after his death, despite knowing all along 'she played a part in the plot that cost Thomas his life'. His heartbroken loved ones say he will be 'sadly missed' and that their 'family circle will never be the same again'.
