This is 37-year-old homeless chef, Mark Dixie, whose picture was a little hard to find.
Aside from his culinary skills at creating a truly tasty canape, Mark Dixie enjoys using drugs and sexually assaulting women in his spare time.
Mark Dixie has long record of sexual assault.
In 1988, when Mark Dixie was 17, a married mother of three kids knocked on his door on the 21st of June. This woman was friends with Mark’s girlfriend, and was just coming over to have a chat.
She didn’t expect to encounter Mark Dixie, alone, and in that mood. She really didn’t expect to have Mark Dixie punch her full-on in the face. She really, really didn’t expect Mark to walk towards her as she was struggling to her feet and say something like, “You’re going to have to help me. I need it. I need it!”
After a brief struggle the woman, who Mark Dixie had threatened to kill while grabbing her neck and lifting her skirt with his knee, managed to escape Mark’s clutches and call the police.
Mark was, understandably, arrested. The then-17-year-old pled guilty to a count of indecent assault and a count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm on the 9th of August, 1988.
On the 21st of June, 1998, ten years after his first assault, Mark Dixie jumped through the window of a Thai student who was living in Perth, Australia at the time. Armed with a knife and with his identity disguised by a stocking over his face, Mark Dixie demanded that the woman take her top off before knocking her to the ground and stabbing her over and over and over again.
Due to the shock of being stabbed eight times and the resulting blood loss, the woman lost consciousness and couldn’t remember what happened after that…but her underwear had semen in it, and the DNA from the semen was collected and stored.
Flash forward to the 25th of September, 2005, when Mark Dixie was working as a chef in the Ye Old Six Bells in Surrey.
Through that Saturday afternoon and into that night, Mark Dixie and several of his friends were celebrating his 35th birthday by drinking and snorting cocaine. If there was a Korova Milkbar nearby, I’m sure they would have gone there too.
The night came to an end and all the friends crashed at about 2:30 in the morning, with Mark Dixie laying down on the couch to go to sleep.
At about 4 in the morning, model Sally Anne Bowman was dropped off in her neighborhood by her boyfriend. As you can see from the picture to the right, Sally Anne Bowman was really quite cute.
This neighborhood that Sally Anne Bowman lived in was just two streets over from the apartment that Mark Dixie was sleeping in.
Except he wasn’t sleeping. He went out. More on that later.
20 minutes after she was dropped off, neighbors heard screaming coming from the street. Nobody went out to see what was going on, of course, but they were sure that there was screaming.
Well, the screaming stopped and the neighbors went back to sleep.
At 6:30 in the morning, a neighbor found Sally Anne Bowman’s corpse, lying on the pavement.
She had been savagely attacked by someone with a knife, someone who was striking hard enough to ram the knife so far into her belly that the tip of it came out her back.
Forensic investigation found that someone had sex with Sally Anne Bowman as she was dying. Forensics also found DNA on several parts of Sally Anne’s body and a bloody fingerprint on her shoe.
Whoever had killed her had also bitten her, as there were savage bite marks on her cheek, neck and her right nipple.
Nine months later, while he was working at Ye Old Six Bells, Mark Dixie was arrested and brought in for questioning. Mark Dixie kind of flubbed things up when, after being told of the charge and asked if he had any medical conditions, he said: “I must be mental to do something like that, eh?”
Yeah.
Maybe a little bit, Mr. Dixie.
After a few delays, the trial of Mark Dixie started in February of 2008. Mr. Dixie had a lot of evidence to overcome, as it was his DNA that was found on Sally Anne Bowman’s body, it was his bloody fingerprint on her shoe, and it was his bite marks on her cheek, neck and right nipple.
Faced with all that evidence, Mark Dixie chose to go with this novel legal strategy, this well-thought out defense:
Yes, he admitted, I did have sex with that woman, as she was lying there, dead, on the street.
But he did not kill her!
Hopefully there aren’t enough people in Britain that are dumb enough to fall for that one.
Time will tell, however, as Mark Dixie’s trial rolls on.

So, lemme see if I’ve got this right. Mark Dixie is just strolling down the street one day, minding his own business, not a care in the world, when all of a sudden he looks down and sees this hot, dead chick!!! Oh, lucky day!!! And she’s still warm!!! Oh, lucky,lucky day!!! He decides to have sex with her. Heck, she won’t mind. She’s dead!!!!
I gotta be honest. I’m having a little trouble with this scenario.
Does he truly believe a defense like that is going to get him off the hook? Even if it is true, do we as a society want someone like that in our midst? At what point do we say enough is enough? Is he worthy of being considered human and being afforded the unalienable rights of being human?
I wish there were a way for the victims to speak, to share their thoughts.
I’ve not read of any random victims who deserved to die the way they, they certainly didn’t choose their fate.
The killers, however, have chosen their own fate and it should be reflected in their punishment. And it should be punishment - we’re not discussing rehabilitation here.
I feel so sad for the victims and their families. I hope they can find some peace.
As for the Mark Dixies of this world, I want nothing but pain and torment.

“get it while she’s still warm”
If you are really *that* bad, buy a blow up doll if your hand rejects you!
Sounds like this POS knows what happens to people who like to have sex with dead bodies - 3 hots and a cot, therapy and a chance to do it all again when they get “better”!
Try that in some other countries (I know this happened in the UK) - he’s have never made it to trial!

there goes the old “nail anything with a heartbeat” argument, sheesh…
this guy needs to jump through a ring of fire and go a loooooooong way down.
howcome that girl was a model btw, she doesn’t seem THAT hot tbh, she’s all skin and bones for crying out loud (no pun intended)
[Reply]
A lot of females these days that are models have to be SKINNY. Personally, I think it is disgusting. I use to be really really skinny and I didn’t really like it because everyone thought I was sick. So I gained a little bit of weight and I feel great!
[Reply]
He needs hell whether he killed her or just had sex with the dead body. Like I believe THAT one anyway!
Maybe I should start to live a more virtuous life if these are the people I will see in hell!
UGH!

Hey look there’s nothing wrong with a bit of the old in-out-in-out, really.
Though he’s not a nadsat anymore, I think Burgess would find him a bit too old for such tomfoolery.
[Reply]
Why oh why would someone who “didn’t kill her” have sex with her while she was dying?!? I can’t believe this guy was actually that stupid to say something like that. Well, I guess I can believe he was that stupid. There are a lot of stupid people in the world today. geez. I had to laugh about this guy. Not at what he did, but at what he said. Ignorance runs rampant I swear.

Her face kinda looks like “Chuckey” and “The Bride of Chuckey”
Still - if he liked lifeless dead things, he could have gotten the “Bride of Chuckey” doll - or maybe even that would reject his sorry excuse for manhood.
I wonder if “Bubba” will prefer his new bride alive or dead?
[Reply]
I bet this guy will just WISH he’s dead when Bubba gets done with him. HEHEHHE

this man deserves so much more then lethal injection.

This is a PERFECT example of a habitual sexual sadist who gets caught, who gets leniency, gets out, and does it again, THEY DON’T LEARN, DOESN’T ANYBODY UNDERSTAND, ONCE A SEX OFFENDER, ALWAYS A SEX OFFENDER, ITS LIKE TELLING SOMEONE WHOSE GAY NOT TO BE GAY, THEY CAN TRY TO DATE THE OPPOSITE SEX, BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS WANT THE SAME SEX NO MATTER WHAT… The first time this low life put his hands on a woman he should have been put away for life, but NoOoO, think about how the rapist feels, hes a person too, blah blah blah, when did attackers become the victims? My heart bleeds for this girl, she looks like someone I would go bar hopping with :( My condolences for the family as well… i hope this shoulda-been-a-abortion rots and gets raped over and over and over and over again, and since he likes knives so much, stick one up his a$$!!!!

I pity that poor man’s defense lawyer. Either the attorney is a complete moron or he’s got no defense and his client is refusing to take a plea and he’s doing the best he can with what he have — the end result is laughable, in a sick way.
[Reply]
Let’s just hope he gets put into prison and when others learn about his doings, he gets raped, beaten, or something.
It kind of scares me knowing some of this stuff. Sometimes I wonder if I should even walk outside or not. I don’t really have to worry about it though because I am in South Dakota. Usually it is pretty calm here and not much for murder or anything like that. But it also still scares me because I think about it while I am out walking my dog at night.
Hell sounds like a pretty good place for him, if he doesn’t get kicked out.
[Reply]
The guy is either a complete moron or truly insane to believe that anyone will buy that
[Reply]
maybe he waited until he was done having sex with her to bite her or maybe he bit her to muffle out the screams of his orgasm? who the fuck knows.
Oh wait, I’m pretty sure I know that he did kill her and that he did bite her and that he did have sex with her.
She is pretty cute.

LilMissSunshine-
I kind of get your point, though it’s worded oddly.
Yes, rapists will probably always want the rush of another rape.
And pedos will want to fuck another little kid.
And gay people might try straight sex, but always go back to same-sex.
What you forgot was that straight people will usually keep getting off on straight sex.
And in-between’s will probably keep going back and forth between straight and gay, or bi, or whatever they want to call it.
It is true that people generally keep doing the same things. But that’s true whether they’re rapists or gay people. Or straight people. Or people who like B/D or S/M, or bond with porn. Having one of the myriad of sexual preferences all people do is probably hardwired, but most people are able to keep it consentual and legal.
That’s the problem with abusive people, rapists and pedos. They can’t keep it consentual AND legal. And that’s a very different distinction.

As far as this poor victim, I think she was kind of a cute little thing. Maybe not superstar quality, but I think most people would consider her attractive. She does not look too ’skinny’ to me, ala an ‘Olsen twin skeletor’. She just looks small.
I know there are people who don’t feel well if they are slim. Good for them. There are also people like me, who do not feel well at all ‘with some extra meat on their bones’. The good thing is, regardless of what the media likes to tell everyone, there are so many people with so many different preferences, that almost anyone, no matter what their body type, can usually find someone who finds it attractive. I think it’s more about confidence than body specifics. The Olsen twins do not strike me as being confident at all.
I did kind of wonder what the heck the victim’s ‘body type’ had to do with this crime, though. It seems to me that often it appears that the majority of the ‘assault and murdered’ female victims are rather short, and slightly built. At the same time, info from rape victim survivors who do publicly identify themselves usually do not fit that profile.
I’m guessing that skinny, petite chicks do not have any more sex than more curvy chicks, and that skinny, petite chicks do not get raped any more often than curvy chicks. Or young chicks, or old women. Some of them physically are just more likely to be physically overpowered and killed during the process.
Just saying. Probably the healthiest thing you could do for your body and self-image is to stop paying attention to what the media tells you to think, believe, and spend your money on.
I personally do not like hard cut, buff, muscular bodies. I prefer solid, sturdy bodies. That look like they know how to enjoy some food, even though that is not my build. The great thing is that there’s a preference for everyone, if you’d stop listening to what you’re told you should like.

I’m kinda getting annoyed that gay people keep getting thrown into the same scenarios and comparisons as Pedos. Can’t you people use drug addicts for your metaphors!!!
ha ha..slightly kidding….about the annoying part. I just need to make sure that even though they’ve been slumped together that their “no where near together”
[Reply]
Brittany, I was not in any way trying to offend you or any one else, I know gays are not at all sex offenders(i know because my uncle is gay)… I was just using it as an example. I know from gay friends of mine (esp. guys) that they TRIED to like girls, they dated them, had sex with then, etc, but they could never shake the fact that they wanted a man… I was jus trying to point out that if someone has paticular things they like that they will always like it, no matter who tells them to think/feel differently..
[Reply]
I’m not offended but thank you. It’s just the second story this week that that has happened and it makes me think that there are a lot more ignorant people than I already thought, (by no means am I calling you ignorant).
I’m sure it can be seen that gays and pedo’s can be linked into the same category because yes, some men like little boys, (which would be “gay”) but doesn’t mean all gays are pedos and all pedos are gay.
I’ll be honest I was “gay” first then my mom pulled the ‘don’t knock it til you tried it’ card on me so I tried it. And then I tried it some more and then some more and really never enjoyed it.
“I was jus trying to point out that if someone has paticular things they like that they will always like it, no matter who tells them to think/feel differently..”
There are a lot of things like this. Look at drug addicts who can’t get sober. Same thing with alcoholics. Gamblers, women who are constantly in abusive relationships and refuse to acknowledge red flags that they know will turn into patterns they had with their exes, yet still pursue that relationship. Maybe those are addictions but even when people tell them not to do it they still seem to do it.

Very true, Brittany!

Well written post! I love all the morbid details!

so very sad, the state of the world today. so much ugliness and crap. someday it will be better. it cant come soon enough for me.

maybe its because i live in NY, but here, after you drop off a woman, you either walk her to the door, or wait in the car until she’s safe inside.
you never just drop her off and leave. what a lame boyfriend.

Throw the key away !…….Untill we bring back a life for a life then this kinda crime will continue to happen, if there guilty beyond all reasonable doubt, “Hang them high” it really is the only way forward !…..However this chap will never find peace, when he closes his eyes of a night he will surely hear this young gals pleas…..and that in its self is a punishment
that will never leave him till his days are over on this plane !….
