A 53-year-old woman was booked on an open-murder charge after her husband was found fatally stabbed inside a Las Vegas apartment early Thursday, police said.

Medical personnel pronounced the man dead at the scene. The woman, identified by police as Naima Ahmadi, was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Police said she had also stabbed herself.
