Families of mortuary victims molested by a hospital technician have blasted a decision to have a closed probe into the crimes.
David Fuller filmed himself sexually abusing at least 100 female corpses.
A relatives’ lawyer has confirmed there will be no public inquiry into the 12-year crime spree.
Ben Davey, of Dean Wilson LLP, says the Department of Health is denying families the right to know why it happened.
He also said ex-NHS chief Sir Jonathan Michael was an “inappropriate” choice to lead the inquiry and that families fear the truth about Fuller may be “swept under the carpet”.

Fuller, 67, of Heathfield, East Sussex, will be sentenced this week for the 1987 murders of Wendy Knell, 25, and Caroline Pierce, 20.
DNA proved his guilt.
Searches of his home found the mortuary attacks at hospitals in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
The son of one mortuary victim said: “We want the answers.”
The Department of Health and Social Care said: “The inquiry will help us understand how these offences took place without detection”. It added it would seek “the views of families”.
