Detectives investigating the death of Thomas Campbell in Tameside have charged a third suspect.

Reece Steven, 29, of Poplar Street in Middleton, has been charged with conspiracy to murder and remanded in custody ahead of a hearing at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on Monday (25 July).

Thomas Campbell was found with serious injuries at a property on Riverside in the Mossley area on Sunday 3 July.

Two others have previously been charged with the same offence in connection with his death.

Detective Inspector Mark Davis, of GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “Our investigation is progressing well - we have made a total of eight arrests and three of those have resulted in charges and remands.

“That being said, our investigation is far from over and, as officers continue to carry out extensive enquiries, we are still appealing to members of the public with information which could assist us to share it.

"We understand this can be nerve wracking but it is important that people do the right thing."

Anyone with information should submit it via https://mipp.police.uk/operation/06GMP22G12-PO1 or contact GMP via gmp.police.uk or 101 quoting Operation Ravensburgh. 

Information can also be shared anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.
