An award-winning film director was found murdered in her home wrapped in a blanket with tape over her mouth after being 'targeted for her diamond Rolex.'
Jennifer Abbott, 69, was discovered stabbed to death after her niece and neighbours had to break into her Camden home on Friday night when she had not been seen for four days.
Ms Abbott was found dead in her home by a relative, wrapped in a blanket on her bed with tape covering her mouth, neighbours told MailOnline.
They said drug users would hang out round the entrance to the block of flats and Ms Abbott recently had a run-in with them when they blocked the doorway. Just a week ago she broke down in tears to a friend, saying she was too scared to sleep because of the anti-social behaviour.
Tonight a manhunt was underway as Scotland Yard said her diamond encrusted Rolex was also missing from her address.
