Woman Found Guilty of Sister’s Murder in Camden Home
A woman has been found guilty of murdering her film director sister, Jennifer Abbott Dauward, in her home in north London.
Nancy Pexton, then 69, stabbed Abbott – also known as Sarah Steinberg – at her flat in Mornington Place, Camden, on June 10 last year.
Abbott, 69, who was nine months older than Pexton, was found dead on the floor of her living room with gaffer tape covering her mouth on June 13 after a neighbour broke down the door.
Pexton was arrested five days after her sister was found dead, when Abbott’s diamond-encrusted gold Rolex watch was found in her bag, her Old Bailey trial heard.
A post-mortem examination found Abbott had sustained a number of stab and slash wounds and a single defensive wound to her right hand.
Abbott was last seen alive on a doorbell camera as she returned from walking her corgi Prince at about 07:30 BST on the day she was attacked.
Pexton spoke to her by phone at 11:36 and travelled by bus to her Mornington Place flat at 12:45, and left an hour later.
She then called her GP, reported taking an overdose and was taken to hospital where she stayed before her arrest on June 18.
