Sally Anne Bowman’s killer Mark Dixie linked to cold case murder of mum-of-three Jennifer Kiely

Mark Dixie, 47, was given two more life sentences after confessing to horrific sex attacks on two women, one when he was just 16.

Now The Mirror reports officers looking into the horrific 2005 murder of Jennifer Kiely have been in contact with Scotland Yard over possible links to Dixie.

Cops reopened their investigations at the end of last year and now say they are “actively pursuing” a new forensic clue, according to reports.

Speaking to the Mirror, Jennifer's elderly mother Margaret said: "It sounds promising. We’ve waited a long time for justice.”

Sally Anne's mother Linda added: "If the breakthrough was over a year ago I’m wondering why they haven’t tried to find a link to Dixie. Jennifer’s mother deserves answers.”


Mum-of-three Jennifer had been stabbed 16 times in January 2005, raped and set on fire – similar methods used by Dixie in other attacks he has confessed to.

Dixie was jailed for at least 34 years in 2008 for the murder of model Sally Anne, 18. She was repeatedly stabbed then raped yards from her home in Croydon, South London, in 2005.

Dad-of-three Dixie, now 47, confessed to more attacks in 40 interviews  in 2015.  He  appeared via videolink and looked nervous throughout sentencing at Southwark crown court.

The judge heard ex-pub chef Dixie carried out his first attack aged 16 in 1987.

He raped an office  worker, 44, in  her  car  then tied her up before starting a fire and fleeing. She managed to escape.

In 2002 he fractured a woman’s skull by battering her with a chef’s knife sharpener, and sexually assaulted her.

Dixie also raped three women in Spain in 2003 — leading to Dutch hotel receptionist Romano van der Dussen, 43, being  wrongly jailed for 12 years before his conviction was quashed last year when new DNA evidence emerged.

After attending a hearing, Romano said: “Dixie ruined my life. Sally Anne would be alive today if the Spanish police had done their job.

“My daughter was three when I was jailed and I haven’t seen her since. My mum died while I was in prison and never saw me being proved innocent.”

Senior investigating officer Chris Le Pere said: “Dixie is a monster and a serious danger to women.”
