David Fuller
David Fuller (born 4 September 1954) is a convicted English murderer and necrophile. He gained notoriety for his involvement in a series of gruesome crimes that shocked the nation and led to his life imprisonment with a whole life order, ensuring he will serve his sentence without the possibility of parole.
The Bedsit Murders
In 2021, David Fuller was convicted of the murders of Wendy Knell, 25, and Caroline Pierce, 20. The crimes took place in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, in 1987, and became widely known as the Bedsit murders. Fuller broke into the victims' homes, where he strangled and sexually assaulted them. At the time, the cases remained unsolved, but a cold case review in 2007 led to the discovery of the killer's DNA. Analysis of the samples later confirmed that the murders were committed by the same unidentified perpetrator.
It was in 2020 that David Fuller was finally identified as the perpetrator when a match was found between his DNA and the samples from the case. Following his arrest, Fuller was also charged with mortuary offenses. As an electrician at the Kent and Sussex Hospital in Tunbridge Wells, as well as the Tunbridge Wells Hospital in nearby Pembury, he had recorded himself abusing the bodies of over 100 female corpses. In 2021, he was sentenced to an additional 12 years for these offenses.

In October 2021, while in custody, Fuller faced further charges related to 16 offenses committed at mortuaries in the now-closed Kent and Sussex Hospital, as well as its successor, the Tunbridge Wells hospital at Pembury.
