Detective Chief Superintendent Paul Fotheringham slammed Fuller’s sick crimes, saying: “Fuller used his role as an electrician at these two hospitals to carry out these heinous acts on deceased victims. Not only did he kill and assault two young innocent women in 1987, who should have had their whole lives in front of them, he then continued his horrific offending by defiling multiple victims and traumatising their grieving families beyond comprehension.”
Hundreds of Victims Identified, Investigation Ongoing
So far, 81 victims in the mortuary abuse case have been formally identified with trained family liaison officers supporting the families. Authorities have uncovered evidence pointing to around 100 victims but warn some may never be named due to lack of information.
Detectives urge the public not to interfere, explaining their sensitive enquiries are ongoing to privately inform families affected. They have reviewed extensive medical and coronial records with all findings carefully overseen by senior police and coroner officials.
Noel McHugh of the NCA’s Major Crime Investigative Support said: “The agency is proud to have helped Kent Police bring justice to the families of Wendy, Caroline and Fuller’s many other victims whom he deprived of dignity in death. This was an utterly horrific case and the victims and their families are paramount in our thoughts.”
