70-Year-Old Woman Sentenced for Sister's Murder

0:00On May 1st, a 70-year-old woman named Nancy Pexton just got hit with a life sentence, minimum 22 years, for murdering her own sister in a set-as. London flat and swiping her Rolex watch. The brutal stabbing happened back on June 10th last year in Camden, where Pexton left Jennifer Abbott's body for three full days before was found. An old Bailey jury nailed the conviction on Wednesday, and by Friday the judge laid it out clear, Pexton meant to kill no doubt with the sheer, same's own. Ferocity of those 10 stab wounds. Family tension ran deep. Abbott's son talked about years of bubbling resentment and hostility between the sisters, fueled by jealousy over money and security. Neighbor broken on June 13th after no dog barks or response to frantic knocks from Abbott's niece, uncovering the taped-up body-cold case, closed, but the why lingers heavy in that fractured bond.
