    A murderous necrophiliac was able to spend 15 years terrorising bodies at the hospitals where he worked without being suspected or caught because of ‘serious failings’, an inquiry has found.

    Mortuary monster David Fuller, 68, is already serving a whole life sentence for beating and strangling Wendy Knell, 25, and Caroline Pierce, 20, to death before sexually assaulting them in two separate attacks in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, in 1987.

    Outlining his findings at a press conference in Westminster, central London, chairman of the inquiry into the David Fuller case Sir Jonathan Michael said there had been ‘missed opportunities’ to stop the necrophiliac double murderer.

    Sir Jonathan continued: ‘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.

    ‘Over the years, there were missed opportunities to question Fuller’s working practices.

    ‘Had his colleagues, managers and senior leaders been more curious, it is likely that he would have had less opportunity to offend.’
