Monster Mortuary Killer David Fuller Abused 100 Bodies Over 12 Years
David Fuller, 67, horrified the nation after admitting he filmed himself abusing at least 100 corpses in two Kent hospital mortuaries over more than a decade. The Heathfield, East Sussex man is already behind bars for murdering Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce back in 1987.
Government Launches Probe Into Fuller’s Sick Crimes
Health Secretary Sajid Javid told the Commons a fresh inquiry will dig deep into Fuller’s appalling offences and their “national implications.” He said: “It will help us understand how these offences took place without detection in the trust, identify any areas where early action by the trust was necessary, and then consider wider national issues, including for the NHS.”
The two-part inquiry will deliver an interim report early next year, followed by a final report exposing broader NHS failings and lessons to be learned. Javid added: “We have a responsibility to everybody affected by these shocking crimes. Nothing that we can say will undo the damage that has been done, but we must act to make sure nothing like this can ever happen again.”
Sir Jonathan Michael, a Royal College of Physicians fellow, will chair the investigation. He was already leading an independent probe for the Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust before the new inquiry took over.
Chilling Details of Fuller’s Morgue Horror
- Fuller stored millions of sick images and videos on discs and hard drives dating from 2008 to November 2020.
- He labelled some folders with victims’ names — a grotesque record of his crimes.
- His NHS career began in 1989, working at Kent and Sussex Hospital until it closed in 2011.
- He was then transferred to Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury, where the abuse continued unchecked until his arrest.
- Investigators revealed Fuller would work late shifts, sneaking into morgues alone after staff left — giving him free reign for his twisted acts.
This sick case has rocked the NHS and raised urgent questions about how such horrific abuse stayed hidden for so long. The inquiry aims to ensure no more monsters slip through the cracks.
