NOVI, Mich. – Noah Ravenscroft has been found competent to stand trial for first degree premeditated murder.
The 36-year-old former Quicken Loans executive is accused of stabbing his wife Kristy Ravenscroft to death Jan. 23 inside their Commerce Township home. Kristy was found dead in the living room. Deputies were called to the scene at about 9:40 p.m. in the 1700 block of Apple Brook Drive, near Huron Valley Hospital. The couple’s 10-year-old child made the 911 call.
The child told authorities during the 911 call that the father was retrieving a knife. Deputies said they approached the home and saw the husband covered in blood. The husband opened the door and allowed the deputies into the home saying that his wife was dead, according to authorities. A kitchen knife believed to have been used was found at the home.
The couple’s three children were found on the second floor of the home. They were unharmed and now are in the care of their maternal grandparents.
Noah Ravenscroft was taken to the hospital with self-inflicted injuries. Upon his release from the hospital he was arrested and arraigned on one count of first degree premeditated murder on Jan. 25. On Wednesday, he was found competent to stand trial. A preliminary examination is scheduled for April 26. Ravenscroft is being held at the Oakland County Jail.
