A Marshfield woman was charged for allegedly fatally stabbing her husband on Thursday, according to authorities.
Christine Ricci, 46, faces one count of murder — the outcome of a law enforcement investigation after first responders were called to a home at 679 Moraine St., the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Marshfield police received a 911 call reporting a medical emergency at the residence around 4:46 p.m., officials said.
There, officers and emergency medical personnel found a man — later identified as 51-year-old Michael Ricci — suffering from stab wounds, authorities said. He was brought to South Shore Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to prosecutors.
Police contacted the Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the district attorney’s office and, following an investigation, ultimately arrested Christine Ricci.
She is slated to be arraigned in Plymouth District Court on Friday.
