David Fuller abused over 100 bodies in two Kent hospital morgues over 12 years

More than half of the relatives of people abused by necrophiliac ******* David Fuller have had compensation claims settled.

Fuller, of Heathfield, East Sussex, was jailed in 2021 after filming himself abusing at least 100 female bodies in two Kent morgues over 12 years.

NHS Resolution said 167 of the 255 claimants had concluded claims against the Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust.

A search of Fuller’s home revealed he had hoarded millions of indecent images and videos of children and extreme ************ on hard drives, floppy discs, DVDs and memory cards.

On these drives officers found footage Fuller had recorded of himself abusing corpses in the morgues.

Fuller was given two whole-life tariffs for murdering Ms Knell and Ms Pierce.

He was also sentenced to 16 years for abusing more than 100 ***** women and children in the mortuaries.
