What they uncovered instead was far more disturbing: a quiet hospital electrician who had been hiding decades of secret offending behind an entirely ordinary life.<br /><br />Investigators discovered that Fuller had exploited his access to hospital facilities to abuse the dead, operating in complete secrecy while presenting himself as a dependable, unremarkable man. The scale of his crimes stunned the public and exposed deep failures in oversight and safeguarding.<br /><br />This is the case of David Fuller — one of the most disturbing criminal revelations in modern British history.<br /> <br /><b>This episode discusses real crimes and sensitive themes.
