THIRD MURDER SUSPECT ARRESTED AFTER DEATH OF THOMAS CAMPBELL IN TAMESIDE

Detectives investigating the death of a man in Tameside earlier this month have made a third arrest.

A 27-year-old man was arrested in the borough on Saturday 16 July on suspicion of the murder of Thomas Campbell (38).

Investigators from our Major Incident Team interviewed the man before he was later released on police bail to allow for further enquiries.

A man and a woman – aged 37 and 38 respectively – have already been arrested before being charged with conspiracy to commit Thomas' murder.

Both have initially appeared at court and have been remanded in custody ahead of another hearing at Manchester Crown Court.

Mr Campbell was found unresponsive at an address on Riverside in the Mossley area at around 10.30am on Sunday 3 July 2022.

Despite the best efforts of emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene and a murder probe being led by our experienced detectives continues.

Detective Inspector Mark Davis, of our Major Incident Team, said:
