Can you help police officers find a murder suspect from Manchester?

John Bellfield (aged 28) is wanted on suspicion of the murder of Thomas Campbell (38) in Mossley last month.

Do not approach Bellfield and if you see him - call 999.

Police are actively seeking his arrest and ask that anyone with information about his whereabouts contacts officers immediately.

He is from the Openshaw area of the city and is believed to also have links to Lancashire, but could be anywhere in the country.

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.

GMP detectives continue to investigate Thomas’ death in Mossley after his body was discovered on the morning of July 3.

Police have charged three people so far and continue to keep Thomas’ family updated while specialist officers support them.

Anyone with information should contact officers on 0161 856 6377 or using GMP’s LiveChat facility on https://crowd.in/b8GoOi, or alternatively Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
