He Sexually Abused 101 Corpses—How David Fuller’s Shocking Crimes Went Unnoticed for 12 Years

A report on David Fuller, the necrophiliac rapist and murderer who shocked the U.K. in 2021, has been released. Fuller is accused of sexually exploiting over 100 corpses in mortuaries over 12 years, as well as raping and murdering two women in their twenties.

According to the BBC, British police have recently released a report on David Fuller, a 70-year-old man who was arrested in 2021 for sexually exploiting corpses and raping and murdering two women in their twenties. The report also called for establishing an independent body to regulate the funeral industry.

In 1987, Fuller raped and strangled two women in their twenties. However, the investigation was suspended because DNA technology couldn’t identify the perpetrator at the time. In 2020, the case was reopened, and 33 years later, Fuller was identified as the perpetrator.

The case took a shocking turn when police, during a search of Fuller’s home, discovered numerous videos and photos taken in morgues on his desktop hard drive.

Investigators found 818,051 photos and over 504 videos on his hard drive. These images showed Fuller sexually exploiting corpses in morgues while working as a maintenance worker at two hospitals for about 12 years. He is accused of sexually abusing the bodies of 101 women in mortuaries.

Fuller took advantage of the fact that there were no CCTV cameras in the mortuaries, a measure intended to show respect for the deceased, to commit countless crimes. On average, he visited mortuaries 444 times a year.

After being found guilty of two counts of murder, Fuller was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole in 2021. An additional 16-year sentence was added for charges of corpse desecration and necrophilia.

According to The Guardian, a relative of one of the victims expressed that Fuller has tarnished every memory of their family, adding that all they can think about now is what he did when their loved one was supposed to be resting in peace.

Sir Jonathan Michael, who led the investigation for the National Health Service (NHS), stated that the U.K. government must urgently establish an independent legal regulatory system for undertakers to protect the safety and dignity of the deceased. He added that this should include a licensing system, mandatory regular inspections of undertakers, and enforcement authority.
