"Judge Anuja Dhir stated that Pexton's actions and conduct after the killing demonstrate not only her absence of remorse but also a deliberate and callous attitude towards what she had done."
"The judge described the act of taping up her sister's mouth as a deliberate act of degradation, which was callous, demeaning, and cruel, highlighting the depth of Pexton's animosity towards Abbott."
"Jennifer Abbott's body was found with gaffer tape over her mouth and a large, slash-type wound across her neck, indicating the brutality of the attack."
"Pexton took the Rolex watch because it was valuable and due to her jealousy of her sister's greater financial security, which was a significant motive for the murder."
Nancy Pexton, 70, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 22 years for the murder of her sister, Jennifer Abbott. Pexton stabbed Abbott 10 times and left her body in their Camden flat for three days. The court found Pexton's actions demonstrated a lack of remorse and a callous attitude. Judge Anuja Dhir noted the deliberate degradation of Abbott, including taping her mouth shut. Abbott's body was discovered by a neighbor after concerns arose about her dog. The missing Rolex watch was a significant motive linked to jealousy over financial security.
