Horrific moment necrophiliac killer’s sick lair uncovered by police

A chilling video of a necrophiliac killer sexually abusing dead victims at the morgues where he worked has been discovered by the police. David Fuller, 68, murdered Wendy Knell, 25, and Caroline Pierce, 20, in 1987, before going on to sexually abuse 101 corpses at his places of work from at least 2007.

The father-of-four was not believed to be connected to the killings until 2020, which led police to search his home and uncover almost 900,000 files of him abusing corpses of women aged between nine and 100.

The crimes were committed at the now-closed Kent and Sussex Hospital and the Tunbridge Wells Hospital, in Pembury, where Fuller worked in maintenance from 1989.

The horrendous moment when the police uncovered the shocking images has been shown for the first time in Sky’s true crime documentary David Fuller: Monster in the Morgue.

Bodycam footage shows cops searching Fuller’s cramped home office in Heathfield, East Sussex, when they stumble on some pictures.

One asked: “Are they ones he’s taken?’ while another off-camera officer says: “Why do they look… dead?”

A woman officer then asked: “In that first one… Is that real or made up?”

The team then found a drawer filled with USBs and floppy disks at the bottom of a wardrobe. They would later discover they contained almost 900,000 files of him abusing bodies at the Tunbridge Wells mortuary.

While being interviewed, Fuller told detectives: “I’m not insane. I may have some sort of residual personality problems, which you know I’ve gone a completely almost Christian life and a deadliest life altogether at the same time with no crossovers… It’s just two different personalities.”

Kent Police’s DI Shelley Chantler said her first reaction while working the case was “complete disbelief.”

She said: “This was an ordinary man. He was married, he had kids.

“It’s difficult to get your head round that any human could even think to do that and then they discovered some more.”

She added: “It’s like he’s two people in one. He leads a normal life going about his own daily business. And on the other hand he’s out murdering women.”

A detailed examination of Fuller’s computer hard drive at his home revealed 818,051 images and 504 videos of his abuse as well as evidence of his “persistent interest in rape, abuse and murder of women”.

Fuller’s victims included nurses, teachers, a pilot, a skier, a war veteran, wives and mothers who had nurtured families. Many were still wearing defibrillators and catheters at the time Fuller abused their bodies.

Among those whose bodies were abused by Fuller was a 92-year-old Second World War hero who worked at Bletchley Park. Her daughter previously said he ‘has done the most heinous crimes, something our family must live with daily’.

In 2020, Fuller admitted murdering Wendy Knell, 25, and Caroline Pierce, 20, in 1987 after he brutally bludgeoned and strangled them to death.

Both women, who lived alone in bedsits in Tunbridge Wells in Kent, were then sexually assaulted by the former hospital electrician as they were either dying or post-death.

Miss Knell’s body was discovered in her bed on June 23, 1987, while Miss Pierce, who was attacked just feet from her front door on November 24, was found three weeks later on December 15 wearing just a pair of tights, in a field 38 miles away in Romney, Kent.

DI Chantler said: “What was returned to us was lists of other profiles that potentially could be relatives of the killer. And we essentially profiled them.

“We did all this research and whittled our list down to 90 people.”

DS David Shipley, of Kent Police’s paedophile investigation team, was tasked with analysing the pictures and videos.

He said: “Fuller committed every sexual act that it’s possible to do with a human body.

“There was a complete lack of emotion being shown by him. It seems to me that there’s no thought whatsoever for the fact that it is somebody’s loved one.

“It’s still a person – they may be dead but they are still a person. There wasn’t an ounce of humanity demonstrated by him at any point.”

The depraved killer was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment with no possibility of parole.
