The wife of a necrophiliac double murderer has broken her silence saying she "couldn't live it" after learning of her husband's horrific crimes.
David Fuller, 67, on Thursday admitted to the 1987 "bedsit murders" of Wendy Knell, 25, and Caroline Pierce, 20, in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
After Fuller pleaded guilty, it emerged he sexually abused at least 100 dead women and girls in hospitals where he worked as an electrician.
Fuller's ex-wife today has spoken out for the first time saying she had to end the marriage after discovering the atrocities he committed.
Mala Fuller, 50, told the MailOnline : "I’m not with him. I couldn’t carry on in that relationship.
"I’m too upset to even think about what was going on, I couldn’t live with it. You can’t imagine how distraught I am."
She added: "I could not stay in that house knowing what he did and what went on in there. I wanted to be alone and want to live my life alone."
Fuller had battered both his victims around the head, asphyxiated and sexually assaulted them in 1987.
The following year he got a job at the Kent and Sussex hospital when he failed to disclose his burglary convictions, sources said.
He again declared he had no convictions in 2002 but was finally exposed 13 years later while working as a contractor at the Tunbridge Wells hospital.
Fuller was forced to have a criminal record check for the first time in early 2015.
It emerged Fuller had convictions for a string of burglaries in the 1970s that he had previously lied about, a source said.
But he was allowed to continue working with an "access all areas'' hospital swipe card.
The shocking crimes were only discovered after he was arrested for the 1987 murders in December last year following a DNA breakthrough.
During a dawn raid at the home the hoarder shared with his wife in Heathfield, Sussex, detectives found a box of hard drives containing a "library of unimaginable sexual depravity".
This included 100,000 images and videos he had taken of himself abusing the corpses.
The known offences took place between 2008 and November 2020 at the Kent and Sussex Hospital and the Tunbridge Wells Hospital.
Ahead of his murder trial, Fuller pleaded guilty to 51 other offences, including 44 charges relating to 78 identified victims in mortuaries where he was working as an electrician.
It comes as today, the NHS has asked all health trusts to review mortuary access and post-mortem activities in the wake of Fuller's confession.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the Government is working closely with the local police and health trust to ensure the families affected are supported.
