In 1987, there were two murders of young women in the UK.
At that time, the bodies of the two deceased were sexually assaulted after their deaths, and because the modus operandi of the two cases was very similar, the police suspected that the murderer was the same person.
However, the police have been unable to find clues for many years, and the murderer has been at large for 33 years.
It wasn't until last year that a groundbreaking DNA sample of evidence emerged that police finally found the man who committed two murders that year— David Fuller, a 67-year-old hospital electrician.
But things are not so simple. Because the crimes he committed were much more than that.
When police arrested David, they accidentally discovered that he had been using his identity as a hospital electrician for the past 12 years to sexually assault nearly 100 female corpses in morgues – the youngest of whom was only 9 years old and the oldest was 100 years old.
After the case was exposed, it immediately caused a sensational controversy in all walks of life.
Because of the heinous crime, this has also been called the largest necrophilia case in the history of the United Kingdom.
In 1987, near the Royal Pond Bridge well in Kent, 25-year-old Wendy and 20-year-old Caroline were killed and then sexually assaulted by David within five months.

Wendy was the manager of a video store at the time, and she was planning to marry her boyfriend and plan a vacation to Paris. However, this happiness came to an abrupt end on June 23, 1987.
The night before, Wendy and her boyfriend had visited the man's parents, and then the boyfriend rode her home on a motorcycle. Since her boyfriend was going to work an early shift the next day, he didn't stay that night.
Her boyfriend, Plath, said in a confession that year: "That was the last time I saw Wendy alive. ”
Because the next day, all he saw was her cold body lying on the bed.
Wendy, who was dead at the time, was lying naked in bed, covered in blood and scars. She was beaten before she was strangled, and her body was sexually assaulted after her death.
Her boyfriend, Plath, has been so guilty all his life that he even took it to his grave because he died before the case was solved.
He once said, "I haven't gone a day without feeling guilty about her death." If I had stayed that night, she might still be alive today. ”
Five months after Wendy's murder, another young woman, Caroline, suffered the same fate on November 24, 1987, when she was beaten, strangled and raped, and finally dumped in a gutter.
When her body was found, she was wearing nothing but a black tights.
There has never been any clue in the two cases, coupled with the fact that the scene of the crime is so close, the deceased are young women, and the means of committing the crime are vicious and vicious.
The local residents were all panicked, afraid that the murderer would commit another crime, and as a result, in the blink of an eye, 33 years later, the police have not solved the case.
Last year, the case finally had a breakthrough.
In 2019, investigators re-examined DNA samples found in two cases, and after comparison, they narrowed the suspects down to 90 people.
One of the 90 people is a relative of the murderer David, and the police combined with other information to finally identify the murderer.
On December 3 last year, they finally arrested the murderer, David.
The police then routinely searched his house and accidentally discovered another secret he had been hiding for 12 years.
During a search of his home, the police found 4 hidden hard drives hidden behind cabinets, which contained a total of 5tb of sexual abuse photos, as many as more than 4 million,
Most of them were downloaded from the Internet, and some photos and videos recorded his sexual assault on female corpses in the morgue.
According to the time the video was filmed, the earliest can be traced back 12 years.
Since 1989, he has been working as an electrician in Kent and Sussexshire Hospitals and Don bridge well hospitals, during which time he used his position to sexually assault nearly 100 female corpses in morgues.
At present, the police have identified at least 99 victims, ranging from 9-year-old girls to 100-year-old grandmothers.
At the hospital where he works, David has a key card that "gives him access to all areas," and the morgue is where he often goes.
In the morgue, the freezer used to store the bodies of deceased patients has doors at either end. There are CCTV cameras at one end, but not at the other end for autopsies.
David seemed to know this, so he avoided the cameras every time, and police couldn't find evidence of him sexually assaulting a body at the hospital.
But this did not prevent the police from charging him, because he recorded in detail his every crime.
In addition to the videos and photos inside the 4 hard drives, he also had a black notebook that recorded in detail the victim's name and the time of sexual assault.
Every time he had invaded a new body, he would write down the victim's name when he returned home.
He also pervertedly searched the internet for his victims' social media accounts, recorded their personal data, and even downloaded their photos to their collections.
His perverted criminal fetish also appeared in the murder of Wendy and Caroline.
Because Wendy's diary and keys, the sweater and skirt that Caroline wore on the night of her murder, also disappeared after the crime, it is likely that he took it as a souvenir.
His crimes were not discovered until more than 30 years later, and during those years he also lived a life of a two-faced man — a polite, smiling gentleman in front of him, and a perverted murderer and necrophile in the back.
The 67-year-old, who has been married three times, was living with his current wife and children at the time of his arrest, and he has four children.
To outsiders, he was a doting father and a responsible husband.
Colleagues also found David very enthusiastic, often with a smile to help them change light bulbs or repair fuses.
His interests are also extensive, he often goes out in the wild to take bird and photography, he enjoyed cycling at a young age, and he was also a member of the West Kent Bike Tour Club.
The club members, after learning of his crime, said that it was unimaginable, because he was usually very humorous and funny, and seemed very normal.
Although he has always lived under such a decent appearance, his crimes date back to the 1970s.
In 1973, he committed three burglaries. But it didn't take long for him to release it.
Before he murdered Wendy and Caroline, he married his second teacher's wife and lived in a staff quarters in Kent.
Using the means of house theft at his disposal, he quietly entered the victims' homes and then committed crimes against them.
Dr. Richard Budcock, a psychiatrist, said David's crime began as theft and gradually escalated into murder.
"Although he has been doing extreme things, he may only feel alive at the moment of sin."
Dr. Budcock believes there is a direct link between Wendy and Caroline's "sexual murders" and the crimes that later took place in the morgue.
According to current data, David sexually assaulted a corpse between 2008 and 2020, but there are still obvious loopholes in the record, because he may have sexually assaulted other corpses before the digital camera was launched on the market, but it was not recorded.
It is not known whether he also killed or sexually assaulted others during the unrecorded period between 1987 and 2008.
Yesterday, David, who had been at large for more than 30 years, finally confessed in court that he was the murderer of Wendy and Caroline, and the fact that he had sexually assaulted the female corpse.
British Home Secretary Priti Patel said the case was shocking, David Fuller's crime was disgusting, and hoped that the victims' families would be able to get some comfort after seeing justice finally done.
But no one can imagine how much the victims' families have been hit, because for them, it is simply a secondary injury.
Not only do they have to accept the fact that their families have died, but now they also have to face the blow of the violation of their families' bodies.
One of the victims was Azra Kemal, a 24-year-old law school graduate, who fell to her death from a gap above the two-lane in Kent.
Her body is reported to have been raped at least 3 times in the morgue.
Today, her mother, Nevres, recounts how her daughter was abused after her death and called David's behavior utterly disgusting.
The first rape occurred just hours after Nevres came to identify her daughter's body and say a heartbreaking goodbye.
"I slept with her in the morgue for two hours and it gave me some comfort," she said. I had no idea that my daughter had been violated that day or before that night.
When I stroked my daughter's hair and slept on hers, I had no idea that a strange man had crawled all over her skin. “
Nevres was still furious, she couldn't understand why the hospital was so lax in its management, and no one was surprised that an electrician could enter the morgue so easily thousands of times.
She added: "I heard he always offered help to mortuary staff. They thought he was a great guy, but basically he mentally manipulated them. They became submissive, and they never questioned him.
Just like women who have been raped all over the world, they have a voice, and so do my daughters – and I now have to speak up for my daughter. ”
So for now she is asking the head of the hospital to resign.
David's crimes have not yet been finally convicted, but no matter how many years of imprisonment and life imprisonment, his sins will never be forgiven....
