UK - Jennifer Abbott, 69, murdered in Camden, London, 13 June 2025

[Parker Knoll]

Should this not have been in on the 9th Sept for plea ?
Can’t see any updates.

 

[Parker Knoll]

Doesn’t look like it happened agreed.

Should this not have been in on the 9th Sept for plea ?
Can’t see any updates.

I did an AI search on this and it states the plea hearing was on 9th September and a provisional trial date of 7th April 2026 was set. However, that response didn't come with any media links, so I'm not sure these things were just the provisional dates set when the alleged perpetrator was first processed.

It's possible something has happened, such as a medical situation or suchlike.

JMO MOO

 

[Parker Knoll]

I’m thinking possibly medically related.

April trial for woman accused of murdering sister – Court News UK

A woman accused of stabbing her film director sister to death and taking her diamond encrusted Rolex watch will stand trial next month. Nancy Pexton, 69, slashed and stabbed Jennifer Abbott, also 69, in the neck on 10 June last year, it is said. She locked the victim’s Corgi dog in the bathroom and it survived there without food for three days, the court heard. Ms Abbott, a film director and author also known as Sarah Steinberg, was found dead…

 

[Tortoise]

She appeared at the Old Bailey for a brief hearing, where Judge Mark Lucraft confirmed the case is due to be heard from April 7.

[...]

'A neighbour assisted her by gaining entry forcing door and the deceased was found laying on the living room floor covered by a blanket.

[...]

'The Rolex was not found on the deceased's body. The cause of death was sharp trauma to the neck behind the collar bone. There were eight wounds around the neck and upper back including a slash on the neck.

Woman accused of murder of director before taking Rolex faces trial

Nancy Pexton, 69, is alleged to have carried out a brutal knife attack on her sibling Jennifer Abbott before taking the Rolex she was known to wear every day.

I can't make this out. Yesterday court 7 with the same Judge Dhir showed on lawpages that she is overseeing a murder trial of four defendants, called on at 9.30am, jury retired to consider verdicts at 9.47am, and verdict to be taken at 11.23am. Nothing in the news about a verdict for them. Meanwhile Nancy Pexton's trial was called on in same courtroom at 10am.

https://www.thelawpages.com/court-hearings-lists/crown-court-daily/14/lists/2026-04-08

Today it is showing Nancy Pexton's trial at 10am, and the trial of the four defendants in same court 7 at 11am.

Unless the jury of that other trial couldn't reach a verdict, after less than two hours, and it is being called on today for a brief hearing to re-schedule?

 

[Tortoise]

So Nancy Pexton was appearing by video link this morning, per @Alyce's post.

It is confusing.
There has been virtually no reporting on this trial. I know we are famous in the UK for often not getting good coverage, but I would have expected this one to be of interest to the media.
