A GANGSTER’S moll is set to lose the home where she plotted the torture-murder of her ex-husband.

Coleen Campbell, 38, was jailed for 13 years in February after she shared intelligence of Thomas Campbell’s whereabouts to the “mastermind” of his killing, John Belfield.

The mum-of-four was captured on CCTV in her pink pyjamas chatting to Belfield for 25 minutes in her garden just hours before the savage attack.

Mr Campbell, 38, was ambushed by three men at the front door of his home in Mossley, Tameside in July 2022.

He was then dragged inside and tortured to death in a two-hour “extraordinary act of barbarism”.

Now Coleen is set to lose her home where she plotted his brutal death.

She and her ex-husband had spent thousands renovating the house in Clayton, Manchester – including adding a two storey extension.

However they had used “dirty” money to fund their luxurious lifestyle – and in 2019 they both admitted to money laundering.

Thomas was jailed for two years while Coleen was handed a 16 month prison sentence, suspended for two years.

Now, following a fresh hearing on Thursday, the case has been settled with Coleen being ordered to hand over £76,500 within three months, reports MEN.

If she fails to pay in that period, she could have another nine months added to the 13 year prison sentence she is currently serving.

Prosecutor Henry Blackshaw said the sum would be paid from her equity in the home which is up for sale.

Coleen and Belfield had met up and also exchanged 35 phonecalls and 68 messages as she conspired to have her ex-husband robbed.

During this time, Campbell divulged key information about Thomas – including details of his van’s registration plate and his house number.

Further footage released by police shows a tracking device being placed on Thomas’ car as he dropped his daughter off at school.

Belfield, Reece Steven, 29, and Stephen Cleworth, 38, used this to conduct reconnaissance missions to the dad’s home.

On July 2 last year, three men burst out of a Vauxhall Combo van parked on the drive of an unoccupied house.

They were seen shoving Thomas into his home while he desperately screamed.

He was then dragged inside and tortured to death in a two-hour “extraordinary act of barbarism”.

Blood splattered the walls of his smart new-build home as he was bound and brutalised.

Thomas was stabbed, punched and stamped on before boiling water was poured on his buttocks.

He had been dragged around the house as the attackers took as much money or drugs as they could get their hands on.

Thomas was then left to die in the hallway before being discovered the following day by a neighbour.

The dad, who was the ex-partner of Belfield’s new girlfriend, suffered 61 separate injuries during the brutal attack.
