He then set fire to the front seat of the car and left her. The victim managed to escape and seek help.

The second victim was attacked by Dixie on a flight of stairs near a railway line in South Croydon. Dixie hit the victim over the head with a knife sharpener, fracturing her skull. He then sexually assaulted her.

The conviction follows a re-investigation by officers from the Met’s Homicide and Major Crime Command, which commenced in 2015.
