A woman has been found guilty of murdering her film director sister 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 10 June 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 13 June 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. Pexton, of no fixed address, denied wrongdoing and declined to give evidence in her trial, opting to appear in court by video-link from Bronzefield jail. Following the guilty verdict, Judge Anuja Dhir KC adjourned sentencing to Friday.
