SENIOR SOURCE HAILS ARREST OF 'ATTACK MASTERMIND' ON DRUGS CHARGES IN SOUTH AMERICA

- NEAL KEELING & ANDREW BARDSLEY

The alleged mastermind of the fatal attack on Thomas Campbell has been arrested on drugs charges in South America, the M.E.N. understands.

John Belfield, 28, was named in court as one of Thomas’s alleged killers.

The 38-year-old was robbed and ‘tortured to death’ in his own home after being ambushed by three men. Three people, including Thomas’s ex-wife Coleen Campbell, were jailed last month for their roles in Thomas’s death. Belfield was not in the dock during the trial and was believed to have fled the country.
