A man from Heywood has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder following the death of a man in Tameside earlier this month.

Stephen Cleworth, 37 from Heywood, was arrested on 8 July 2022 and has now been charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

The victim, Thomas Campbell, 38, was found dead at an address on Riverside in Mossley 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 investigation was launched.

Cleworth appeared at Manchester Magistrates today (11 July 2022) and has been remanded until his next appearance on 15 August at Manchester Crown Court.

Another man who was arrested on suspicion of murder on 7 July has been released without charge.

The investigation continues and anyone with information is urged to do the right thing and report it. This can be done anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or as always, information can be passed to us by using our LiveChat service online, or 101.
