MORGUE monster David Fuller was free to assault dead women for 15 years due to “serious failings” at the hospitals where he worked, a report found.
The double killer abused at least 101 women while working at mortuaries in Tunbridge Wells Hospital and at the former Kent and Sussex Hospital.
A probe has now found there were "missed opportunities" to stop the necrophiliac's 15-year rampage.
Inquiry chairman Sir Jonathan Michael said: "Failures of management, of governance, of regulation, failure to follow standard policies and procedures, together with a persistent lack of curiosity, all contributed to the creation of the environment in which he was able to offend, and to do so for 15 years without ever being suspected or caught.
"Over the years, there were missed opportunities to question Fuller's working practices.
"Had his colleagues, managers and senior leaders been more curious, it is likely that he would have had less opportunity to offend."
