Woman murdered film director sister before making off with her Rolex watch

Rolex Nancy Pexton Jennifer Abbott
  • Nancy Pexton, 70, has been found guilty of murdering her 69-year-old sister, film director Jennifer Abbott, in Camden, north London.
  • Pexton fatally stabbed Ms Abbott ten times and stole her diamond-encrusted gold Rolex watch from her flat on 10 June last year.
  • Ms Abbott's body, found with gaffer tape over her mouth, lay undiscovered for three days until a concerned neighbour forced entry.
  • The court heard evidence of a long-standing "bubbling" resentment between the sisters, with Pexton having previously written notes about killing her "evil" sister.
  • Pexton's clothes were found covered in her sister's blood, which she falsely claimed was due to a nosebleed, and she is due to be sentenced on Friday.
