The detectives called to Thomas Campbell's home will never forget the scene they found inside
A senior detective called to the scene of Thomas Campbell's murder described what he saw as being 'like something from a horror film', as three convicted killers faced justice. Mr Campbell, 38, was subjected to two hours of 'unimaginable' pain as he was tortured to death in his own home.
Detective Inspector Mark Davis, the senior investigating officer in the case, added: "It was a horrendous scene. Despite us being inside that scene, in suits in the summer for over two weeks, we didn't find any forensic evidence linking the suspects to the scene, because they cleaned up after themselves." Instead, police built up a compelling case of circumstantial evidence including CCTV footage and phone data which ended up convicting three people for their roles in the killing.
Asked what he believed Ms Campbell's motive was, DS Davies said: "Jealousy. Simple as that, I think, pure jealousy." At the time of his death, Mr Campbell was in a relationship with the ex-girlfriend of John Belfield, who is alleged to have been the 'mastermind' of the attack. DI Davis said the end of the trial does not mean the end of the investigation. Only one of the three men who attacked Mr Campbell has been brought before a court.
