Sister found guilty of killing film director sibling and taking her Rolex watch

A woman has been found guilty of killing her film director sister and stealing her diamond-encrusted gold Rolex watch.

Nancy Pexton, 70, slashed and stabbed Jennifer Abbott 10 times at her flat in Camden, north London, on 10 June 2025.

The 69-year-old had gaffer tape on her mouth when a concerned neighbour broke down her door three days later.

Her sister was arrested on 18 June, with jurors hearing how the missing Rolex was recovered after she was admitted to hospital.

The court previously heard how Pexton had told her sister she was "planning to kill" her months beforehand, leaving her considering a restraining order.

She had warned Ms Abbott to "watch your back" and accused her of betraying her in "every way because you [were] jealous of me".

Examination of Pexton's phone revealed a series of notes in which she referred to thinking about killing her sister and complained about other family members.
