Years of “systemic procedural failings” at an NHS hospital enabled
necrophiliac murderer David Fuller to sexually abuse the corpses of
more than 100 women and girls over 15 years, an independent inquiry
has found.
The 69-year-old electrician was handed a whole-life order in 2021
after police uncovered a harrowing trove of photographs of the abuse
in a search of his East Sussex home. An inquiry was launched to
establish how he was able to commit his crimes undetected for so
long at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust.
The inquiry has found that “failures of management, of governance,
of regulation, failure to follow standard policies and procedures,
together with a persistent lack of curiosity, all contributed to the
creation of the environment in which he was able to offend, and to
do so for 15 years without ever being suspected or caught”.
Leaders at the NHS trust, and others charged with oversight and
regulation, should “reflect seriously and carefully on their
responsibility for the weaknesses and failings” identified by the
inquiry, its lead, Sir Jonathan Michael, told reporters on Tuesday.
There were missed opportunities to question Fuller’s working
practices, and it was never properly queried why he routinely worked
beyond his contracted hours undertaking unnecessary tasks in the
mortuary, Sir Jonathan said.
“There was little regard given to who was accessing the mortuary.
Fuller entered the mortuary 444 times in a single year and this went
unnoticed and unchecked,” he added.
Mortuary staff were mostly unsupervised, left to their own devices,
and frequently did not follow standard operating procedures,
according to the inquiry, which heard from more than 200 witnesses
and reviewed some 3,700 documents.
“Deceased people were left out of fridges in the post-mortem room
both overnight, and during working hours when Fuller was carrying
out maintenance tasks,” said Sir Jonathan, noting that he was not
accompanied or supervised by mortuary staff at these times.
“On their intermittent assessments, those responsible for the
regulation of the mortuary often did not detect these systemic
procedural failings.”
Fuller himself told the inquiry that he had been able to access the
mortuary logbook to assess whether the corpses he abused posed a
risk of serious infections, and found a way to effectively lock the
door of the post-mortem room from the inside.
The inquiry was also told by one witness that they had been made
aware in 1998 of an allegation of necrophilia in the Kent and Sussex
Weald NHS Trust mortuary by an electrician. But the supposed remarks
were not corroborated by the person said to have made them and the
inquiry was unable to substantiate the claim.
Among 17 recommendations made by the inquiry, the trust has been
told to install CCTV footage within the mortuary, and advised that
non-mortuary staff and contractors should always be accompanied by
another staff member when they visit the facility.
Fuller filmed himself sexually abusing the corpses of more than 100
women and girls in the now-closed Kent and Sussex Hospital, and
Tunbridge Wells Hospital, where he had worked since 1989.
More than half of his offences were committed between 2018 and his
arrest in December 2020 – a period which coincided with “rapid
improvement” in other areas of the NHS Trust’s performance, Sir
Jonathan noted.
“This serves as a stark reminder that there may be serious hidden
issues found in organisations that are apparently performing well,”
he said.
Police discovered a library of 818,051 images and 504 videos of
Fuller’s abuse during a search of his three-bedroom home in
Heathfield, where he lived with his family – after Fuller was
arrested for one of the UK’s longest-standing unsolved double-murder
cases.
In what had been dubbed the “bedsit murders”, Fuller beat and
strangled Wendy Knell, 25, and Caroline Pierce, 20, to death before
sexually assaulting them in two separate attacks in Tunbridge Wells
in 1987.
Ms Knell was found dead in her flat, while Ms Pierce was snatched
five months later from outside her home, half a mile away on a quiet
residential street. Her naked body was discovered in a water-filled
dyke at St Mary in the Marsh on 15 December.
But it was only with a new analysis of decades-old DNA evidence –
which identified a relative on the national database – that Fuller
was finally arrested on 3 December 2020.
While Fuller initially pleaded not guilty to the murders on the
grounds of diminished responsibility, he dramatically changed his
plea on the fourth day of his trial in November 2021 – and was
handed a whole-life sentence the following month.
Following the discovery of Fuller’s library of photographs, he also
pleaded guilty to 44 charges relating to 78 victims in mortuaries at
Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust between 2008 and November
2020. Last November, Fuller then admitted to sexually abusing an
additional 23 dead women between 2007 and 2020.
The next phase of the independent inquiry will widen its focus
across the NHS, to identify possible failings in the oversight of
mortuaries, and will also look at funeral homes.
