The cop who led the investigation to catch Sally Anne's Bowman's killer believes Dixie may be responsible for other sex crimes.

Detective Superintendent Stuart Cundy called for other victims of the 37-year-old pub chef to come forward.

He said: "Mark Dixie posed a significant threat to women and I strongly believe that there may be other victims who have not come forward.

"He may have committed other sexual offences dating back many years.

"I therefore urge anyone who believes they are the victim of Mark Dixie and haven't already informed police to please do so on 020 8721 4005."

He added: "Sally Anne was a young woman who had her whole of her life ahead of her.

"Mark Dixie cut that life short in the most horrific way imaginable, her family and friends will always have to suffer her loss knowing the appalling acts he committed."

D Supt Cundy also paid tribute to the witnesses and the jury and said Sally Anne's family had shown remarkable strength throughout the trial.
