A 66-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 69-year-old was found fatally stabbed in her home in north London.

Emergency services were called to a report of an unresponsive woman at a property in Mornington Place, Camden at 18:00 BST on Friday, 13 June.

The victim, named by police as Jennifer Abbott, was found by her niece and neighbours. The neighbour said she had been left with tape across her mouth.

On Wednesday, the Metropolitan Police said a missing Rolex watch may be linked to Ms Abbott’s death.

The 69-year-old, also known as Sarah Steinberg, was last seen walking her pet Corgi in Camden on 10 June, before she was found fatally injured three days later.

The suspect was arrested on Wednesday and remained in police custody, the force added.

Detectives have made the missing Rolex watch a focus of the murder investigation

A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as sharp force trauma.

The victim’s next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

Det Insp Barry Hart, from the Met’s specialist crime north, said: “This arrest marks a significant step forward.

“There are several lines of enquiry ongoing, and we are working hard to establish the exact circumstances of this incident.

“Locals can expect to see an increased police presence in the area while we conduct our enquiries.”
