(AKRON)– Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh announced today that Summit County Common Pleas Court Judge Kelly McLaughlin sentenced Marcia Eubank, 50, of Linda Street in Coventry Township, to life in prison for shooting her husband, Howard, to death. Eubank will be eligible for parole after serving 20 years in prison.
“This was a very difficult situation. My heart goes out to the family,” said Prosecutor Walsh. “However, Mrs. Eubank needs to be held accountable for her actions. She killed her husband, hid the body, and lied for six months about what happened. If not for her son finding his father’s body, what she did may still be secret today”
On December 21, 2018, Eubank pled guilty to the following charges:
- Murder with a firearm specification – a special felony
- Tampering With Evidence – a felony of the 3 rd degree
- Abuse of a Corpse – a felony of the 5 th degree
On December 9, 2017, Summit County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to the Linda Street home after human remains were found inside the home by the homeowner’s son. The remains were later identified as those of 54-year-old Howard Eubank. Investigators determined Marcia Eubank shot her husband Howard in June of 2017, then cut up his body and placed the body parts in storage bins in the home.
