Woman accused of fatally slashing sister and stealing Rolex, court hears

  • Nancy Pexton, 69, is accused of murdering her sister Jennifer Abbott at her Camden flat on 10 June 2025.
  • Ms Abbott's body was discovered on 13 June with a fatal neck wound and gaffer tape over her mouth, and her diamond-encrusted gold Rolex watch was missing.
  • Prosecutors allege Pexton visited her sister on 10 June, staying for an hour, and was later found with Ms Abbott's watch, which she claimed her sister asked her to look after.
  • Pexton was reportedly covered in blood after the alleged killing and later asked a daughter to dispose of her blood-stained clothes, claiming the blood was from her sister's nosebleed.
  • Pexton, who denies murder, is currently on trial at the Old Bailey, with the prosecution arguing she was responsible for her sister's death.
