A Las Vegas man appeared in court on Tuesday in connection with claims he stabbed his wife around 30 times when she asked for a divorce, according to police.

Officials with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reported that Clifford Jacobs, 60, was booked into jail on Friday on suspicion of attempted murder and domestic assault resulting in serious bodily injury.

Information regarding his defence attorney was not released immediately.

Jacobs told police that he and his wife of 15 years began squabbling in their apartment on Wednesday afternoon before he blacked out.

The next thing he supposedly remembered was being covered in her blood.

While waiting for paramedics, the officer strapped tourniquets on both of the woman’s arms.

The University Medical Center staff reported that the woman sustained around thirty stab wounds and nerve damage to her face and neck.
