CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) — A St. Louis County man is accused of stabbing his wife to death days before a divorce hearing. Prosecutors on Thursday charged 50-year-old Michael P. Oshia of Florissant with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a firearm. He is jailed on $1 million bond and doesn’t yet have a listed attorney. Court documents do not identify Oshia’s wife but say the killing happened Wednesday at a home they shared. Prosecutors say Oshia shot himself with a shotgun after killing his wife, but survived the shooting. A divorce hearing for the couple had been scheduled for Monday.
