Sister Accused of Murdering Jennifer Abbott to Steal Rolex Watch
Nancy Pexton, 69, appeared at the Old Bailey accused of murdering her older sister, Jennifer Abbott, a film-maker, in their Camden flat on June 10. The prosecution alleges Pexton killed Abbott and stole her gold diamond-encrusted Rolex watch, which was later found in Pexton's bag. Abbott's body was discovered on June 13 by a neighbor after her dog, Prince, barked incessantly; she had sustained multiple stab and slash wounds with tape over her mouth. Pexton has denied the murder, claiming she blacked out and that the blood on her clothes resulted from a nosebleed during a hug. She also falsely claimed to have taken an overdose and reported family abuse to authorities before hospitalization. The trial is ongoing.
