  • Hend Karim Bustami was arrested Wednesday for stabbing her mother to death
  • Bustami was detained in California to be brought back to Nevada for murder charges
  • She is currently held on the charge of being a fugitive from justice

A 28-year-old Las Vegas woman who claimed she was detained by officers in the airport for being "so good-looking," was arrested again Wednesday after her mother was found murdered, reports said.

Hend Karim Bustami was taken into custody from California for allegedly stabbing to death her 62-year-old unidentified mother at her home Wednesday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Department (LVMD) said in a news release.

Emergency officers responded to the scene after someone from the victim's house called 911 to report an injured person at the residence. Upon arrival, the officers found the victim unresponsive with "multiple lacerations." She was pronounced dead at the scene, Law & Crime reported.

Investigators uncovered that the victim sustained the fatal injuries after she "was involved in a verbal dispute with her daughter, later identified as 28-year-old Hend Bustami," LVMD Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said.

Cops also determined that Bustami fled the scene after the alleged murder.

However, she was taken into custody the same day after cops in California found her across state lines. She will be brought back to Nevada and charged with murder, reports said.

The suspect made headlines in August after she was arrested at Harry Reid International Airport for allegedly skipping out on a restaurant tab and violating airport rules. She was later released, according to reports.

During the arrest, Bustami claimed she was being harassed by officers as they have "never seen anyone as pretty as her."

"She was going to spit on all [the officers] and that officers were perverts and were trying to rape her because they [had] never seen anyone as good-looking," the previous arrest affidavit read.

Meanwhile, friends of Bustami's mother said they feared she would be murdered by her daughter. "Yesterday, she was at a friend's house and she said she told her, 'I'm worried to go home, maybe she will kill me,'" a friend reportedly told KSNV.

There were previous instances of domestic disputes between the mother and daughter, reports said.

Court records show that Bustami is currently held on the charge of being a fugitive from justice in the San Bernadino County West Valley Detention Center, and is not eligible for a bond.
