A man accused of killing teenage model Sally Anne Bowman admitted having sex with her when she was dead, the Old Bailey has heard.
Sally Anne Bowman was murdered in 2005
The aspiring teenage model was "savagely and brutally" murdered only yards from her home by a man who was motivated by sex, the court was told.
The 18-year-old was stabbed repeatedly, bitten several times all over her body and sexually assaulted both before and after she died.
The force of the attack was so powerful that the blade of the knife passed all the way through her neck, the Old Bailey was told.
Miss Bowman's bruised, battered and bloody body was discovered on the driveway of a home just a few doors from where she lived in Blenheim Crescent, south Croydon, on September 25, 2005.
Brian Altman, prosecuting, said the "horrific" killing just two weeks after Miss Bowman's 18th birthday was not without motive. "This was not a motiveless attack," he said.
"Sally Anne Bowman's murder was motivated by sex. He clearly murdered her for his own sexual gratification," he told the seven woman, five man jury.
"There is no other way of describing it, other than to say that Sally Anne had been savagely and brutally killed.
"The evidence demonstrates that she was sexually violated when she lay dead or dying from the stab wounds inflicted upon her."
Chef Mark Dixie, 37, of no fixed address, denies murdering Miss Bowman but according to the prosecution admitted having sexual intercourse with her dead body.
Mr Altman said Mark Dixie admitted he had sex with Sally Ann after her death.
The jury was told that the accused’s defence was that – under the influence of drink and drugs – he "happened" upon Miss Bowman's body and took advantage of the situation.
"His case is that someone else stabbed her to death, leaving her in a pool of blood at 26 Blenheim Crescent," he said.
"That somebody else murdered her – but not him.
"That – astonishingly – is his defence to the charges of murder he faces. It is very clearly a defence born out of desperation."

i can see it now. a hushed courtroom;
"it's like this your honour.....i saw her, and tried to give her the kiss of life, and...well...one thing led to another....look, i'm 37, married, 3 kids, it's not often i get an erection these days, so why waste it?"
who the fuck is he trying to fool? and now the defence is trying to say the boyfriend did it!
