Dixie targeted the victim in 1987 while she was sitting in her own car in an isolated south London car park. | |
He then tied her up inside and set the vehicle on fire. | |
She managed to free herself and raised the alarm, Southwark Crown Court was told in July. | |
The second attack, in 2002, saw him bludgeon a woman with a chef's steel, normally used to sharpen kitchen knives, before telling her "I'm going to kill you" and molesting her. | |
Father-of-three Dixie admitted charges of rape, indecent assault and grievous bodily harm during a hearing on 26 July. | |
In January 2015 the killer, who had pleaded not guilty throughout his first trial, finally confessed to the murder. | |
Dixie wrote to police saying he wanted to "tell the truth" about what happened to Miss Bowman, before telling detectives he had killed her in a frenzied attack that included biting her after she fled from her boyfriend's car in a row. | |
Later, while being interviewed by police, he said he had not raped or murdered anybody before. | |
However, he went on to admit two further attacks after he was told by the investigating officer: "That's not entirely true. I know something you did in 1987." | |
By the time Dixie was jailed for Miss Bowman's murder, he had already been convicted of indecent exposure and indecent assault in the UK. | |
He was also responsible for another sex attack in Australia, where he had lived for six years. | |
Dixie has also admitted a serious sexual assault in Spain in 2005, his barrister Andrew Mooney said. |
