POLICE have issued a name and photo of the man they believe is suspected of a murder in Mossley.
John Bellfield is wanted by the Greater Manchester force in connection with the death of Thomas Campbell at an address on Riverside.
The 28-year-old is from the Openshaw area of Manchester but is also believed to have links to Lancashire.
And officers said he ‘could be anywhere in the country.’
A GMP spokesman said: “Do not approach Bellfield and if you see him call 999.
“We are actively seeking his arrest and ask that anyone with information about his whereabouts contacts us immediately.
“Anyone who knows Bellfield, and may be withholding information, is reminded that assisting a suspect can lead to a prison sentence of up to 10 years.”
Mr Campbell was found dead at his home on July 3 in an incident that has shocked the local community.
Three people – Stephen Cleworth, Coleen Campbell and Reece Steven – have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
The trio all appeared at Manchester Crown Court on Monday, August 15.
And Judge Alan Conrad QC told them they will be back in the dock from January 9, with a trial expected to last up to four weeks.
GMP added: “Our detectives continue to investigate Thomas’ death.
“We’ve charged three people so far and continue to keep Thomas’ family updated while our specialist officers support them.”
