An electrician who thought he had got away with the murders of two young women 34 years ago is facing the rest of his life in jail after new DNA techniques finally identified him.

And in a shocking discovery after his arrest last December, police found that David Fuller, 67, had for many years been sexually assaulting dozens of female corpses in the morgue of the hospital where he was employed.

He admitted assaulting nearly 80 dead bodies, many of which he filmed, but detectives believe there may have been hundreds more victims in the three decades he worked at the hospital.

The hospital victims ranged from a girl aged nine to a 100-year-old woman.

Fuller was described in court as a “controlled sexual deviant who preyed on young women and derived sexual gratification from the violation of their dead bodies”.
