Arriving deputies quickly took the suspect into custody.
UPDATE:
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has charged a Shalimar man with an open count of murder in connection with the stabbing death of his wife at their home this afternoon.
51-year old Randal Ebbighausen was in his garage, covered with blood, when OCSO deputies and the Shalimar Police Department arrived at his Mande Court address.
Investigators say a kitchen knife was located nearby. His wife was found deceased inside.
A family member told deputies the couple planned to get a divorce. She says they got into a verbal altercation which then turned physical and she entered a room to see Ebbighausen on top of the victim holding a knife.
