A woman has been charged with the murder of Jennifer Abbott, 69, who was found stabbed inside her home in Camden, north London last week, the Metropolitan Police said. Nancy Pexton, also 69, has been charged with murdering Ms Abbott, who was also known as Sarah Steinberg.
Ms Abbott's body was found by her niece and neighbours, who broke her door down after her family failed to hear from her for several days. A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as sharp force trauma. Ms Pexton is due to appear at Highbury Magistrates' Court on Friday (June 20).
