Harrowing mortuary crimes committed by necrophiliac killer David Fuller, who abused at least 100 deceased women and girls, could be repeated, an inquiry has found.

The final report of the inquiry sparked by his crimes also found that “current arrangements for the regulation and oversight of the care of people after death are partial, ineffective and in significant areas completely absent”.

The maintenance worker sexually abused the bodies of more than 100 women and girls aged between nine and 100 while employed at the now-closed Kent and Sussex Hospital and the Tunbridge Wells Hospital, in Pembury, between 2005 and 2020.
