Montgomery County police have arrested a Frederick man who they say beat a Boyds man to death and then set the victim’s home on fire to cover up his crime more than 13 years ago.

According to police spokeswoman Melanie Hatley, 48-year-old Kenneth Lee Claggett had been a suspect almost immediately after the 1993 murder of Nelson Minter, of the 18800 block of Bucklodge Road.
