THE BEDSIT Killer may have raped thousands more corpses as devastated families today question if their loved ones were violated by the necrophiliac.

Distraught families of women who died across the South East are wondering if he sexually assaulted their bodies during his 12-year monstrous spree.

Fuller, 67, is known to have abused the corpses of at least 99 females aged between nine and 100 while working at NHS hospitals.

Thousands more victims are likely - but have not yet been identified.

On one occasion, Fuller returned over four days to violate one victim.

The sicko was able to go undetected with an "all access hospital pass" despite having a criminal record for previous burglary convictions he had lied about.

Cops have now set up a helpline for those who believe the bodies of relatives and friends may have been defiled by the monster.

Just hours after it was launched, more than 80 calls have been made from distraught families.

A ￡1.5million package of support with funding from the Home Office, Ministry of Justice and Department of Health and Social Care will be offered to families who need psychological support.

And top MPs are now demanding a public inquiry into how the horror was able to take place.

The 99 known victims were in mortuaries at the Kent and Sussex Hospital in Tunbridge Wells, which closed in September 2011, and the replacement Tunbridge Wells Hospital in nearby Pembury.

But he also violated at least 99 women and girls in the hospital mortuary - including Azra Kemal, 24, after she fell to her death from a bridge

His sickening offences - labelled "the stuff of nightmares" by prosecutors - emerged yesterday.

They were able to be reported after he admitted the 1987 murders of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce.

Both women were bludgeoned to death in their Kent flats and sexually assaulted as they lay dead - in what became known as the "Bedsit Murders".

Fuller's killings went undetected for decades.

And more than 20 years after the atrocities, he defiled scores of dead women and girls at mortuaries he had access to through his work as a hospital technical supervisor.

He admitted to his sick and heinous crimes and is now facing a whole-life term in prison, meaning he will die behind bars.

Fuller was forced to have a criminal record check for the first time in early 2015 following revelations Jimmy Savile had sexually assaulted patients.

MONSTER'S SICKENING CRIMES

His last known morgue attack was in November last year - meaning he continued to abuse corpses FIVE years after the check.

Cops have admitted they will never know how many deceased females were violated, but say it could be thousands more.

It's believed some victims will never be identified, despite Fuller filming himself raping the deceased women.

At any one time, the bodies of between 20 and 25 women are kept in the mortuary, it's believed.

Officers have now set up a hotline in anticipation of an avalanche of calls from worried family members.

Those who fear loved ones may have been violated can call 0800 051527.

Azra Kemal, 24, was one of those abused by Fuller at Tunbridge Wells Hospital after she died following a fall from a bridge last July.

Her mum Nevres gave a devastating interview to Sky News, telling reporters: "He had entered the morgue and autopsy area thousands of times.

MURDERER DEFILED NINE-YEAR-OLD

"Not hundreds, thousands."

Fuller kept a detailed diary of his sex assaults, written in his own handwriting and kept in a secret room at the family home he shared with his wife.

Sickened cops found four hard drives packed with millions of images and videos of abuse when they arrested the vile pervert at his home on suspicion of murdering Wendy and Caroline.

A cache of printed photos organised into folders were also found - showing that Fuller had spent at least 12 years abusing corpses.

Fuller, of affluent Heathfield in East Sussex, was still working for the Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust at the time of his arrest.

His pleas yesterday end one of Britain's longest unsolved murder cases - and bring to light offences "unprecedented in legal history".

DCI Ian Beasley, who led Kent Police's investigation into Fuller, said: "It quickly became clear that the extent and scale of offending was likely to be unprecedented in the UK.

It's unprecedented in the UK. We've never seen anything like it

"We have never seen anything like this."

More than 150 family liaison officers informed the families of the dead women simultaneously after Fuller pleaded guilty to 51 charges, including 44 relating to the necrophilia, at a hearing on October 8.

Boris Johnson's spokesman today called the case "truly shocking."

"The Prime Minister shares in the revulsion and concern felt by people across the country," he said.

"The sickening nature of these crimes is very difficult to comprehend and while words cannot describe the pain inflicted on these families, the Prime Minister has been profoundly moved by some of the experiences that have been shared.

"His thoughts are also with Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce, who were brutally killed over 30 years ago."

Libby Clark, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "No British court has ever seen abuse on this scale against the dead before.

"I have no doubt he would still be offending to this day had it not been for this painstaking investigation and prosecution."

The HSJ revealed today that Fuller was well thought-of by colleagues, who believed him to be "affable and helpful" and were "shocked" when he was arrested.

As a result of his work, he was able to access any area of the hospital - including the mortuary, where there were no CCTV cameras.

Staff went home at 4pm, but Fuller worked between 11am and 7pm, allowing him plenty of time to visit when no one else was there.

Miles Scott, of the hospital trust, said in a statement: “I want to say on behalf of the trust how shocked and appalled I am by the criminal activity by David Fuller in our hospital mortuary that has been revealed in court this week.
