MONTESANO, Wash. (AP) - An Aberdeen man accused of beating and setting another man on fire has been charged with murder.

Grays Harbor County prosecutors says 31-year-old Roderick T. Reed of Aberdeen fatally injured 41-year-old Marlon Lee of Aberdeen Nov. 18 after they spent much of the night at Quinault Beach Resort & Casino.

Surveillance video showed them leaving together. Lee was found three hours later on the side of a road and driven to an Aberdeen hospital. He later died at a hospital in Seattle of his burns.

KXRO reports Reed remains in jail and is scheduled to enter a plea Monday.
