By Leon Watson UPDATED: 15:22 EST, 22 February 2012 Murdered: Pensioner Jean Dobson, 86, who was battered to death A former EastEnders actress told a friend she had made three crucial mistakes after battering an elderly widow to death, a court heard. Karen Williamson, 45, described the killing of Jean Jobson to neighbour Donna Coleman and admitted she had made a string of errors, jurors were told. Williamson is alleged to have used a hammer and a glass jug to cave in her 86-year-old victim's skull before fleeing with cash, jewellery and bank cards. The mother-of-one, who featured in a host of TV shows including The Bill and EastEnders as an extra, made her confession around ten days after the killing, the Old Bailey heard.
