The man who raped and killed teenage model Sally Anne Bowman in South Croydon has been given two more life sentences for two further sex attacks.

Mark Dixie, now 47, was jailed for at least 34 years in 2008 for the rape and murder of 18-year-old Miss Bowman in Blenheim Crescent in 2005.

He admitted the killing to detectives in January 2015 and went on to confess to two more attacks over the course of 40 interviews, including the rape of a woman when he was aged just 16.

Dixie was sentenced to two life terms, with a minimum of 28 years, today (November 24) at Southwark Crown Court.

The court heard that Dixie may have confessed to maintain "a degree of notoriety."

Dixie's previous life sentence meant he was not eligible for parole until 2040, when he will be 69.

The new sentence means it will be another four years until he has a chance of being freed.

Judge Jeffrey Pegden QC told Dixie, who pleaded guilty to charges of rape, indecent assault and grievous bodily harm at an earlier hearing: "These offences are serious offences.

"I am satisfied that you remain a serious danger to the public."

He said Dixie's offending had "escalated significantly" until he was jailed for the teenager's murder, adding: "The risk of repeated violent sexual harm remains very high."
