Miss Bowman, 18, was repeatedly stabbed and bitten outside her home in Croydon, south London, in September 2005.
Miss Bowman had been driven home after a night out in Croydon Town Centre by her boyfriend Lewis Sprotson at about 0400 BST, the court was told.
The couple began to argue as they sat in the car outside Miss Bowman's house with each accusing the other of seeing other people, Mr Altman added.
She had tried to stop Mr Sprotson driving off by sitting on the bonnet of the car, but as he left he had seen Sally Anne walking into her drive.
Neighbours heard screams at about 0420 BST but it was not until over two hours later that the "gruesome discovery" of the model's body was made.

So far so good.

The defendant, Mark Dixie, 35, of no fixed address, denies murdering Miss Bowman.
Prosecutor Brian Altman said: "The defendant confesses that he had sex with Sally Anne and that he had sex with her after her death."
The court heard Mr Dixie had said he had been drinking, took drugs and had "taken advantage of the situation".
The defendant's DNA was found on Miss Bowman's body, his bloody fingerprint on her shoe and his bite marks on her cheek, neck and breast, the jury was told.

Well, we've all done it, haven't we... You come home late at night, you see a dead 18-year old covered in blood laying on the road, and you think: "Well, why not dig in? It's still warm after all..."

Mr Altman said: "That astonishingly is his defence. It is born out of desperation."
