Here are the top three stories today in Las Vegas:

1. Las Vegas' Paul Nuttall appeared in court last Friday for the murder of a woman in 1980. The 64-year-old man has been accused of open murder with a deadly weapon, sexual assault, and burglary while in the possession of a firearm. Nuttall was accused after recently-tested DNA samples indicated that he was involved. He was considered a person of interest for some time in the cold case. (Law & Crime)
2. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department found a dead body on Friday while performing a welfare check. The body was discovered in the 1100 block of Blankenship Avenue. An initial investigation indicates that foul play was involved. The Clark County Coroner's Office is determining the victim's identity and the cause of death. (KTNV 13 Action News Las Vegas)

Patch deal of the day:

Good knives make all the difference in the kitchen, but you don’t need to overpay for them. Seido Japanese knives are made with strong high-carbon stainless steel (high-carbon knives are more durable and usually more expensive) and have an acute 15-degree angle for a noticeably sharper cutting face (most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees). For a limited time, Patch readers can get a 5-piece Seido Japanese master knife set for 71 percent off. At just under $70, this chef-quality set is perfect for any home cook and would also make a great gift for the holidays.
