On April 9th, a 70-year-old pensioner, named Nancy Pexton, stands accused of stabbing her older sister, Jennifer Abbott, to death in her North London, flat last June 10th. Prosecutors say Pexton showed up unannounced, killed the 69-year-old, with multiple stab wounds, then swiped her prized diamond Rolex watch. Before bolting, she called her doctor claiming an overdose right after, landing in hospital where cops nabbed her about a week later. The timelines tight sisters chatted by phone around 1130 that morning, Pexton hopped a bus and hit the candenspot before 1pm, then split. After an hour, Jennifer's body turned of five days in, found by a worried relative under a sheet with major upper body trauma, duct tape on her mouth and her corgi. Dog prints shut in the bathroom. These two were close in age, just nine months apart, with Jennifer described as frail, but still walking her pub daily. She clung to their Rolex-like family heirloom, even showering with an on, yet advanced from
the scene. Pexton was homeless at the time, adding layers to why she target her own blood. Copsearch Pexton's hospital bags and bingo, there was the watch. She claimed Jennifer asked her to hold it, but prosecutors call BS, pointing to the brutal attack as proof of intent to kill her maim. No signs of sexual assault, but the set-up screams murder, with no self-defense angle. House rolling at the old Bailey now, Pexton linked in from custody denying it all, while the jury weighs if she pulled the trigger or if someone else snuck in after. Heavy stakes in this family fallout.
