Thomas Campbell murder trial: All the evidence heard so far at trial of man allegedly 'tortured to death' as jury sent out to deliberate

The trial of three people accused of the murder of Thomas Campbell will resume on Monday when jurors will continue to consider their verdicts. A jury of seven men and five women were sent out to deliberate on Friday morning after a five week trial at Bolton Crown Court. Mr Campbell's ex-wife Coleen Campbell, 38, along with Stephen Cleworth, 38, and Reece Steven, 29, have all pleaded not guilty to murder.

Prosecutors allege that Mr Campbell, 38, was 'tortured to death' after being 'pounced on' by three men at his home in Mossley, Tameside, after 11pm on Saturday, July 2 last year. It is alleged that all three were also part of a conspiracy to rob Mr Campbell, with his home said to have been 'ransacked'.

The trio have also pleaded not guilty to this charge. A fourth defendant, Karl Murphy, 50, is accused of driving Mr Campbell's attackers to the scene before the alleged murder. He denies participating in the activities of an organised crime group.

Here is all the evidence heard by the jury so far.

The trial did not take place on Monday or Tuesday, due to juror illness. When it resumed on Wednesday, defence closing speeches continued. Ms Campbell's speech was heard last week.

The next barrister to address jurors was Anesta Weekes KC, on behalf of Mr Cleworth. Jurors have heard he has admitted placing a tracking device on Mr Campbell's car days before the killing.

He said Mr Belfield had told him that Mr Campbell had up to £200,000 worth of drugs or money buried in a field. Mr Cleworth has said he agreed to try and find the 'buried treasure' and steal it, but denied there was any intention to hurt Mr Campbell.
