A MAN has been charged in connection with a murder in Mossley.
Thomas Campbell was found dead at a house on Riverside on Sunday, July 3.
Now Stephen Cleworth has appeared in court after being charged over the incident.
The 37-year-old, of Charles Street, Heywood, was brought before Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court today (Monday, July 11) after being charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
He will next appear at Manchester Crown Court on Monday, August 15 and has been remanded in custody.
Mr Campbell, 38, was found dead after Greater Manchester Police officers initially responded to concerns for the welfare of a person.
A 31-year-old who was arrested on suspicion of murder has been released without charge and despite this development, GMP’s investigation remains active.
