Detectives determined Majocyline Tan, 64, had stabbed her husband, 72, multiple times and then stabbed herself, police said. Both were transported to the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center and they are expected to survive, police said.

Tan was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
