CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Officials say an inmate convicted of first-degree murder in the 1976 slaying of an Omaha man in Pottawattamie County has died of natural causes.

The State Department of Corrections said Kenneth Boyd, 65, died Monday. He was assigned to the hospice care unit at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Coralville. Boyd’s death was due to complications from renal failure.

He was serving a life sentence in the slaying of Charles Sallis. Boyd was convicted along with Charles Reese and Sallis’ wife, Katherine. Another man, Isaiah Jerry Jones, initially was charged with murder, too, but the charge was dropped when he agreed to testify for the prosecution. Boyd and Reese were from Gary, Indiana. Jones was from Omaha.
