Necrophiliac and murderer David Fuller has been charged 16 more times by police for sexual offences.

Fuller, 68, was sentenced to two whole life sentences in December for killing Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce in Tunbridge Wells in 1987.

He was also given concurrent sentences worth 12 years for sexual offences against 78 dead women at mortuaries in Tunbridge Wells Hospital and at the former Kent and Sussex Hospital between 2008 and 2020.

Now, following an investigation by the detectives, more charges have been brought connected to 23 other victims – all deceased females – between 2007 and 2020.

As a result, 13 of these victims have been formally identified, while the identity of 10 still remain unknown.

Today, Fuller was charged with 10 offences relating to identified victims and two relating to three unidentified victims.

Fuller also faces two charges in relation to owning "extreme pornography" in connection with 13 identified victims, as well as two more charges for the pornography relating to 10 unidentified victims.

He will appear via video link before Medway Magistrates’ Court, on Thursday, October 6.
