  • Police say wife lived with his body parts in her home until her arrest

Marcia Y. Eubank, 49, was arrested on suspicion of murder Saturday in Ohio

A woman charged with murdering her husband lived with his dismembered body parts in her home for five months, police have said.

Marcia Y. Eubank, 49, was arrested on suspicion of murder Saturday in Coventry Township, Ohio, after police discovered the remains of her husband, 54-year-old Howard L. Eubank.

On Saturday afternoon, cops in the community of 11,000 on the southern outskirts of Akron received a call reporting possible human remains at the Eubanks’ home.

Investigators from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office responded and made a gruesome discovery.

Police responded to this residence after getting a tip on Saturday. They found a tote bag in the back yard of the home containing the dismembered remains of Howard Eubanks

A tote bag in the back yard of the home contained the dismembered remains of Howard, police said.

Investigators believe that Marcia shot and killed him in June, and then dismembered his body with several saws and lived with the remains in her home.

‘It’s sick. I’ve known these people for over 20 years,’ neighbor Jackie Kaylor told the Beacon-Journal. 

‘It’s absolutely devastating. I just can’t believe this is all real,’ Kaylor said.

Marcia was not home at the time of the search, but cops located her in the parking lot of a local business and took her into custody without incident.  

She was then interviewed by sheriff’s detectives and subsequently charged with one count of murder and booked into the Summit County Jail.

An autopsy on will be performed this week at the Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office.
