A St. Louis Woman Fatally Stabs Her Husband

Brenna Davis is accused of arming herself with a knife and stabbing her husband repeatedly in the chest and face. Now, she has been charged with fatally stabbing her husband in suburban St. Louis.

Charged Wednesday was 36-year-old Brenna Davis. Davis is jailed in St. Charles County on $500,000 cash-only bail for second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of 40-year-old Orville Davis. No attorney is listed for her in online court records.

Police in St. Charles say the couple was home with their five children early Wednesday when they got into an argument.

Police say the couple was having marital problems, but that they hadn’t responded to the home for domestic violence before Wednesday night’s events. Neither Brenna nor her children were injured.
