Thomas Campbell's ex-wife jailed for 13 years as his killers face justice for beloved dad's brutal death
manchestereveningnews.co.ukThe family of murdered dad Thomas Campbell say they have 'justice' after three people, including his ex-wife, received lengthy jail sentences for their roles in his brutal killing.
The 38-year-old father-of-two was tortured to death in his own home after being ambushed by three men armed with weapons. He was tied up, stabbed and beaten for two hours as his killers ransacked his home in search of valuables, cash or drugs.
Mr Campbell, a convicted drug dealer said to have played an 'integral' part in an organised crime gang, was left for dead in his hallway and discovered the next morning, naked apart from a pair of socks, by a neighbour.
His loved ones said he will be 'sadly missed', and that their 'family circle will never be the same again'.
