The alleged mastermind of the fatal attack on Thomas Campbell has been arrested on drugs charges in south America, the Manchester Evening News understands. John Belfield, 28, was named in court as one of Thomas' alleged killers.
The 38-year-old was robbed and 'tortured to death' in his own home after being ambushed by three men.
