Hi always question, and welcome!
As for Mark Dixie, this is what's on wiki:
In October 2006, Dixie's DNA was sent to Western Australia to be tested against that of the DNA evidence in the Claremont serial killer case between 1996 and 1997, as it is believed he was in the area at the time of the killings, and may have committed them.[12] At his trial for the murder of Bowman, an unnamed Thai woman gave evidence that Dixie had stabbed and raped her in Australia in June 1998 in Subiaco, Western Australia whilst Dixie was burgling her house; Dixie
has yet to be formally charged with this attack,
though a DNA sample from the woman's underwear has been matched to him.[13]
---- But was he really ever cleared? Maybe not.
"British detectives criticised WA authorities for deporting Dixie without trying to prosecute him or investigate his background further.
Some are also mystified as to how the WA Police managed to dismiss outright Dixie's possible link to the unsolved Claremont serial killings.
But Perth police yesterday insisted they had cooperated fully with Scotland Yard.
A WA Police spokesman told The Sunday Times: ``Mark Dixie was investigated by WA Police in relation to the Claremont killings
but was ruled out by detectives, and UK authorities have been briefed on that.
"Bitish police have been to WA in relation to the Dixie inquiry and we have sent an officer to the UK to help them finalise the case.''
Dixie is currently subject to a WA Police investigation over a 19-year-old Thai economics student who was stabbed eight times and raped while unconscious in Leederville in June 1998. Her knickers were analysed and found to contain Dixie's DNA. The woman, now aged 30, gave evidence at the Old Bailey trial."
