On Feb. 10 Dayton officers were called to the 3000 block of West Cornell Ridge Drive on reports of a stabbing.

When officers arrived they found a woman at the front door sitting on the floor of her apartment, bleeding from her neck, according to an affidavit and statement of facts.

He said he pulled his brother off of the woman, took a knife he found on the floor, and put it in the sink.

The man’s brother allegedly told him he “was going to jail for life” before running out the back door.

The woman was taken to Miami Valley Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Medical staff told officers that she had more than 30 stab wounds on her neck, head, back, and defensive wounds on her hand, according to the affidavit.

The woman also is said to have a small piece of the knife lodged in her brain.

Owensby turned himself into the police on Monday.

Owensby and the victim share children and have been living together, according to the affidavit.
