A man who was allegedly tortured to death in a brutal attack at his own home was found naked and bound in his hallway, a court has heard.
Thomas Campbell, 38, was discovered by shocked neighbours the morning after he was subjected to a harrowing and violent assault in Mossley, Tameside.
Jurors at Manchester Crown Court were told the father-of-two was ambushed by a gang of three men as he arrived home late on the evening of Saturday, July 2, 2022.
One of the men, John Belfield, 31, is accused of being the ringleader behind the plot. He denies being at the scene and has pleaded not guilty to murder and conspiracy to rob.
Another attacker, Reece Steven, has already been convicted of murder, while the third man involved has never been identified.
