Sister arrested in hospital bed after killing sibling for diamond-encrusted gold Rolex watch

Rolex Gold Nancy Pexton Jennifer Abbott

Bodycam footage captures the moment a sister was arrested in her hospital bed after murdering her sibling and stealing her Rolex watch.

Nancy Pexton, 70, slashed and stabbed her sister Jennifer Abbott, 69, 10 times before making off with the diamond-encrusted gold timepiece on 10 June, 2025. She then left Jennifer’s body for three days in her flat in Camden, north London.

After murdering her sister, Pexton then called her GP, reported taking an overdose, and was taken to hospital, where she stayed before her arrest on 18 June.

Pexton, of no fixed address, was found guilty on Wednesday (29 April). Judge Anuja Dhir KC has adjourned the sentencing to Friday.
