CHESAPEAKE MAN SLAIN

An elderly man was slain in his Camelot-area home Thursday, police said.

Police did not release a motive or the cause of death, and are withholding the victim's name until his family is notified.

A neighbor said the man apparently died in a struggle. The neighbor said blood was on the living-room floor where the man's body was found, and what appeared to be blood on the walls.

Police were called to the home in the 1400 block of Sir Kay Drive shortly after 1 p.m.
