Responding officers from the Bristol Borough Police Department found Khan with blood on her clothing. Iqbal was pronounced dead at the scene by Bucks County medics.
Khan is being held without bail on charges of criminal homicide, possession of an instrument of crime, and recklessly endangering another person.
