Missing Rolex case: Woman charged with murder after 69-year-old stabbed in her north London flat
A woman has been charged with the murder of a 69-year-old woman who was stabbed in her home. Jennifer Abbott - also known as Sarah Steinberg - was pronounced dead at her flat in Camden, north London, last Friday. Police previously said they believed the death could be linked to a missing diamond-encrusted Rolex watch. Nancy Pexton, also 69, has been charged by the Metropolitan Police and is due to appear at Highbury Magistrates' Court later today. Ms Abbott was found by her niece and neighbours, who broke her door down after her family had not heard from her for several days. She had last been seen walking her corgi in the area on 10 June. A post-mortem examination gave her cause of death as sharp force trauma. Detective Inspector Barry Hart previously said: "Our deepest sympathies are with the victim's loved ones who are being supported by specialist officers at this time." There has been an increased police presence in the area as detectives explore "several lines of inquiry".

Woman charged with murder in missing Rolex case
A woman has been charged with the murder of a 69-year-old woman who was discovered stabbed inside her north London home. Nancy Pexton, 69, has been charged with murdering Jennifer Abbott, the Metropolitan Police said. Abbott, also known as Sarah Steinberg, was found dead at her flat in Camden on June 13. Abbott, an award-winning film director, was found by her niece and neighbours, who broke her door down after her family had not heard from her for several days. A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as sharp force trauma. Earlier this week police said they believed the incident may have been a robbery gone wrong. Abbot's diamond-encrusted Rolex watch was among the items missing, and police said they believed it may have been a targeted attack. Known professionally as Sarah Steinberg, Abbott was from Scottsdale, Arizona, but grew up in London. She later moved to Los Angeles, where she began working in the film industry, winning an award for a documentary. Pexton is due to appear at Highbury magistrates' court on Friday.
