Life imprisonment or life incarceration is a sentence of imprisonment for a serious crime often for most It was then revealed that Dixie was already a convicted serial sex offender. ^[3]

Following Dixie's conviction, Detective Superintendent Stuart Cundy, who had led the Bowman investigation, said: "It is my opinion that a national DNA register — with all its appropriate safeguards — could have identified Sally Anne's murderer within 24 hours. Superintendent ( Supt) often shortened to "Super" is a rank in British police services and in most English-speaking Commonwealth nations Instead it took nearly nine months before Mark Dixie was identified, and almost two-and-a-half years for justice to be done. "

The calls for a such a register were, however, turned down by ministers and other politicians who claimed that it would raise practical as well as civil liberties issues. ^[4]

A documentary about the murder was broadcast on BBC1 at 10. 35pm on 8 April 2008.
