Thomas Campbell's ex-wife denies any involvement in his killing

A beautician on trial accused of the murder of her ex-husband who was found 'tortured to death' has denied any involvement in the killing. Coleen Campbell, 38, claimed she had been 'manipulated' by the alleged 'mastermind' of the attack on her former spouse, Thomas Campbell.

She admitted that in the days before her ex's death, Mr Belfield had told her that he planned to rob Mr Campbell of drugs which he'd 'buried', but claimed she didn't believe he was serious. "Now that you've heard the details of exactly what happened to Thomas Campbell in that house, how do you feel about having given Mr Belfield those details?," Ms Campbell's barrister Nick Johnson KC asked her.

Ms Campbell, Stephen Cleworth, 38, and Reece Steven, 29, all deny the murder of Mr Campbell and conspiring to rob him. On the 13th day of the trial at Bolton Crown Court, jurors were told of some 'agreed facts' in the case before prosecutors closed their case. Jurors have heard that the pair appeared in court jointly charged with money laundering after police raided their home in Clayton in 2015. In 2019, Mr Campbell was jailed for two years and Ms Campbell received a suspended prison sentence.

She claimed Mr Campbell was also friends with the woman's partner. "Did you confront him?," Mr Johnson asked. Jurors were told that between September 2020 and January last year, there were reports of 'numerous allegations of violence and harassment' committed by Mr Campbell on Ms Campbell, and of 'numerous allegations of violence and harassment' by Ms Campbell on Mr Campbell. But the allegations did not lead to convictions because both parties did not support a prosecution.

She said that by June last year, after Mr Campbell had returned to the UK, their relationship had improved and they had agreed times when he could visit and look after their children. "I didn't have any problems with him, everything was fine," she said. "He didn't know what was going on," she said. "He had heard the rumours, he had confronted her. She was denying it. He didn't know what to believe."
