Summary
The murder of Thomas Campbell, a dad of two children, is a story of betrayal at the highest level.
What began as a planned robbery quickly escalated into a brutal and fatal attack inside his own home in Greater Manchester. At the centre of it all was his ex-partner, Coleen Campbell, who passed on key information about his movements - allowing the killers to refine their plans. As the investigation unfolded, phone records, messages, and suspicious behaviour after his death began to reveal the truth behind what really happened. In this episode, I break down the timeline, the evidence, and how one of the most chilling betrayals led to a terrifying murder.
I release episodes every Tuesday and Friday, so please join me on Tuesday for the next episode of the UK True Crime Podcast.
