A necrophiliac murderer was able to abuse the bodies of over 100 women and girls for 15 years in the U.K. without being caught owing to “serious failings” at the hospitals where he was employed, an inquiry has concluded.
David Fuller, 69, abused the corpses of victims between the ages of 9 and 100 at health facilities in southern England between 2005 and 2020. The maintenance worker who has since been dubbed the “morgue monster” was already suspected in two sexually motivated killings when police discovered the scale of his offending in hospital morgues.
In 2020, Fuller was arrested for the separate 1987 killings of Wendy Knell, 25, and Caroline Pierce, 20, thanks to recent advances in DNA testing technology. Following his arrest, police searched his home and found footage that Fuller had recorded of himself abusing corpses. In 2021, he was given two whole-life sentences for the killings and a concurrent 12-year sentence for his other crimes.
