Corpse abuser victims’ families compensated

More than 90 family members of the victims of corpse abuser David Fuller will receive financial compensation under a new Government scheme.

Close relatives are eligible to receive up to £25,000 for trauma suffered as a result of Fuller’s crimes, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) announced yesterday.

The 68-year-old filmed himself abusing corpses in the now-closed Kent and Sussex Hospital and the Tunbridge Wells Hospital, in Pembury.

Fuller was given a life term for the murders of two women in 1987 and admitted 44 charges relating to 78 victims at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust from 2008 to 2020.
