Nancy Pexton, 70 years old, was found guilty of the murder of her sister, Jennifer Abbott, which took place in her apartment in Camden, United Kingdom.
Pexton not only slit her throat but, in an act of extreme cold-bloodedness, manipulated her own daughter so that she would be the one to discover the body days later. Meanwhile, the killer faked an overdose to take refuge in a hospital and divert any suspicion.
It was precisely in the hospital bed that her alibi began to fall apart. Amid mumbling and contradictions, the police found the victim’s Rolex hidden in Nancy’s bag, despite the fact that she herself had sworn that Jennifer “never took it off.”
In the end, it was her own lies that led her straight behind bars, exposing a lethal obsession with her sister’s belongings.
