The man accused of killing teenager Sally Anne Bowman has told a court he regrets having sex with her corpse.
Mark Dixie claimed he did not realise she was dead until after he had sex with her body, the Old Bailey heard.
Mr Dixie, 37, denies murdering the 18-year-old in Croydon, south London, during a sex attack, in September 2005.
Giving evidence, he said: "I don't know what went through my mind. I took full advantage of someone and I should not have done it."
Pair of legs
The court heard Miss Bowman was found in a pool of blood in the driveway of her home in Blenheim Crescent.
Prosecutors allege Mr Dixie stabbed her seven times and raped her as she was dead or lay dying.
But Mr Dixie has told jurors that he found Miss Bowman's body after a drink and drugs binge.
He told the court: "I have gone over it during the last three years. I don't know what went through my mind.
"All I saw was a pair of legs... shirt put down to the waist and I took advantage of her.
Anthony Glass, QC, defending, asked if he thought she was dead or unconscious.
Mr Dixie said: "I would not have expected to see anyone dead in that street.
"I thought she might have passed out or fallen over."
But he admitted there was no reaction during the sex attack, even when he bit Miss Bowman.
Anthony Glass, QC, asked Mr Dixie, "Did you, in fact, realise she was dead?"
To which he responded: "After a while. I panicked. I stood up. I looked at her. I did not know what to do."
Mr Dixie described how he then placed cement dust and concrete from a nearby skip on Miss Bowman's body to conceal his DNA.
The trial continues.
But ... you know ... if I did ... well, I'd probably have sex with them.
He’s an S.O.B Sicko.
Evil grows bold where it can’t be killed (no death penalty there)...
So let me get this straight: His defense to a rape-murder charge is to plead guilty to the rape, and claim it was dark and he was drunk, so he didn’t notice the blood, then sobered up enough to try to conceal the rape once he noticed the victim was dead?
Well, the Brits do have the ‘reasonable doubt’ standard in criminal proceedings, and a lot of really disgusting violent young drunks. I suppose the defense might work. Heck given how nasty young British drunks are reported to be, it might even be true.
Indescribable sickness and perversion....
Killing her is no big deal... Having sex with the corpse is wrong, though.
Since this is Britain, I predict he will be out in 4 years. That ought to teach him how wrong it was.
And the next guy, as hard as it is to believe, might be turned off to both sex and food upon that sight. Well, they say it takes all kinds. ;-)
I wish there was a “OK - we buy your story, and if you’re truly that sick we have to keep you locked up, oh say forever” category
Sam Kinison: “You’re probably wondering how low can I go, well, here it is. I just read about a gang of gay necrophiliacs....”
Boys out for bit of the old ultra-violence.
“The man accused of killing teenager Sally Anne Bowman has told a court he regrets having sex with her corpse. Mark Dixie claimed he did not realise she was dead until after he had sex with her body”
one would wonder what kind of unresponsive women he usually had sex with
but no, his statement is just another lie - he’s a sicko
Or he is, as they say, divorced from reality.

ewwww. Just that fact that she was dead, and that he was doing it, unconscious or dead, is just GROSS beyond measure.
This story reminds me of my ex-wife for some reason.
LOL
Disgusting, sub human, POS.
Thank you for encouraging me.
