He was charged with the murder of Frederick Hodsdon, who died on Saturday after an incident in his bungalow in Vespers Close.

Mr Hodsdon was found by a neighbour at around 6pm and taken to the Luton and Dunstable Hospital where he later died.

A post mortem on Sunday confirmed the cause of death to be head injuries.

Two men were arrested on Saturday evening, one was later released and Clairmonte was charged with murder late on Tuesday night.
