Overview
- Jurors found Pexton, 70, guilty on Wednesday at the Old Bailey after a three-week trial.
- Investigators said she visited Jennifer Abbott’s Camden flat on June 10, 2025, then left, and the victim was found three days later with severe neck wounds and duct tape over her mouth.
- CCTV tracked Pexton’s trip to the flat, forensic tests found her DNA on the tape, phone notes described plans to kill her sister, and police recovered Abbott’s Rolex from Pexton’s bag.
- Pexton declined to testify, claimed a blackout, and blamed a local drug dealer, while prosecutors pointed to blood-soaked clothes and a failed clean-up as evidence of her involvement.
- Detectives said the case showed careful work across CCTV, DNA, and digital checks, and the judge adjourned the case for sentencing on Friday.
