Woman Accused of Murdering Sister and Stealing Diamond Rolex in Camden
Nancy Pexton, a 69-year-old woman, is currently on trial at the Old Bailey, accused of murdering her sister Jennifer Abbott and stealing her diamond-encrusted gold Rolex watch. The alleged incident occurred at Ms Abbott's flat in Camden, north London, on 10 June 2025.
Discovery of the Body and Missing Watch
Jennifer Abbott's body was discovered on 13 June 2025, three days after the alleged murder. She was found with a fatal neck wound and gaffer tape over her mouth. Prosecutors have highlighted that her valuable diamond-encrusted gold Rolex watch was missing from the scene, which has become a key piece of evidence in the case.
Prosecution's Allegations
According to the prosecution, Nancy Pexton visited her sister on 10 June, staying for approximately an hour. Later, she was found in possession of Ms Abbott's Rolex watch. Pexton claimed that her sister had asked her to look after the watch, but prosecutors dispute this, alleging it was stolen during the murder.
Further allegations state that Pexton was covered in blood after the alleged killing. She reportedly asked one of her daughters to dispose of her blood-stained clothes, explaining that the blood came from her sister's nosebleed. The prosecution argues this was an attempt to conceal evidence.
Current Trial and Denial
Nancy Pexton denies the charge of murder and is currently undergoing trial at the Old Bailey. The prosecution is presenting evidence to prove she was responsible for her sister's death, focusing on the missing watch and the blood-stained clothing. The trial continues as both sides present their cases in court.
