12/5/12 - A suspect has been arraigned for the stabbing death of a Pinckney man over the weekend. 37-year-old Ronald Lewis Kennedy is charged with 2nd degree murder and assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder for an incident Saturday at a home in Rose Township, near Holly. State Police say Kennedy stabbed 34-year-old Charles Shiffman several times after finding him at the house with his wife, 31-year-old Jessica Kennedy. He also stabbed his wife and then forced her into a car before fleeing the area. He was later stopped by police and arrested. Jessica Kennedy was treated for non-life threatening injuries. Shiffman, who died at the scene of the stabbing, was reportedly a longtime friend of Mrs. Kennedy who had called him to help with an abusive situation. Services for him are set for 11am Friday at the Mowen Funeral Home in Owosso. Kennedy is lodged in the Oakland County Jail without bond. He is due back in Oakland County District Court in Clarkston on December 11th. (JK)
