Kent MPs to demand public inquiry following Fuller case

The Conservative MP for Tunbridge Wells has called for a public inquiry in the wake of the David Fuller case.

Fuller, a hospital electrician, has admitted to sexually abusing corpses in hospital mortuaries. He has also pleaded guilty to murdering two women in Tunbridge Wells, according to police.

Greg Clark told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this morning that an NHS investigation into the matter was “not sufficient”.

“There’s never been a case in Britain in which the number and the scale of the abuse of dead bodies has been revealed in this way and it raises such important questions as to the security of mortuaries for every hospital in the country,” he argued.

He said authorities and politicians must “ask serious questions as to how this could have happened and we establish that it can never happen again.”

Clark also explained that himself and MPs from neighbouring seats had that he, written to the Health Secretary and Home Secretary to request that an inquiry be organised urgently.
