Mortuary abuser David Fuller has entered no pleas to 12 sexual assault charges and no pleas for four extreme pornography charges.
He appeared remotely from HMP Frankland at Medway Magistrates Court today.
The 68-year-old was wearing a grey prison-issue jumper and looked down at the table in front of him while the charges were read to him.
Fuller spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth, current residence, and to enter no plea to all 16 charges.
He remains in jail after he murdered two women and sexually abused at least 100 corpses in hospital mortuaries.
His case became known as the ‘bedsit murders’.
Fuller beat and strangled Wendy Knell, 25, and Caroline Pierce, 20, to death before sexually assaulting them in two separate attacks in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, in 1987.
He also had filmed himself abusing a number of corpses until his arrest in December 2020.
Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate had found there were 101 victims in total following a large-scale investigation.
The 68-year-old’s latest charges relate to sexual offences committed in a mortuary setting.
Fuller will be remanded in custody at HMP Frankland and is set to appear again at Maidstone Crown Court on November 3.
