Kimberly Lynn Oshia

A Florissant man has been charged in the stabbing death of his wife on Wednesday, just days ahead of a scheduled divorce hearing for the couple. The St. Louis County prosecuting attorney on Thursday charged Michael P. Oshia, 50, with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a firearm. The killing occurred on Wednesday in the Florissant home they shared, according to a statement from the prosecuting attorney’s office. After Oshia’s wife was killed, Oshia shot himself with a Browning 10-gauge shotgun, but survived the shooting, prosecutors said.
