Woman jailed for brutal murder of film director sister in her Camden home

A “callous and cruel” woman who slit the throat of her film director sister before running away with her diamond-encrusted gold Rolex watch has been jailed for life.

Nancy Pexton, 70, slashed and stabbed Jennifer Abbott 10 times and taped her mouth shut in an “act of deliberate humiliation” on June 10 last year.

Ms Abbott later lay dead or dying at her flat in Camden, north London, for three days before a neighbor became concerned and found her body without her valuable Rolex watch.

Pexton, of no fixed address, was found guilty of murder at the Old Bailey on Friday and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 22 years.
