Summary
- Woman accused of murdering her sister and stealing her Rolex.
- Victim found dead in Camden flat; dog left without food.
- Trial set for April 7, suspect denies murder charge.
A murder trial is scheduled for April 7, involving a 69-year-old woman accused of killing her sister and stealing a valuable Rolex watch. The victim, Jennifer Abbott, was discovered dead in her Camden flat by neighbors and her niece. Evidence suggests a brutal knife attack, with multiple wounds and signs of decomposition.
The court heard that the victim's pet corgi, Prince, was found shut in a bathroom, deprived of food for three days. A diamond-encrusted Rolex watch, habitually worn by Ms. Abbott, was reported missing and allegedly found in the suspect's property bag when she was arrested on June 18. The suspect denies the murder charge.
The last sighting of Ms. Abbott was on the morning of June 10. Her niece had called police after concerns for her welfare, leading to the grim discovery. A roll of duct tape with blood and a missing knife from the kitchen block were among the forensic details presented.
