An electrician accused of murdering two women more than 30 years ago sexually assaulted dead bodies in the mortuaries of hospitals where he worked, a court has heard.
David Fuller is standing trial at Maidstone Crown Court in Kent accused of the murders of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce in 1987.
Both women were found naked and had been struck on the head, asphyxiated and sexually assaulted after their deaths, the jury was told.
Fuller, 67, admits killing the women but denies murder, claiming he was suffering from "abnormality of mind" at the time, the court heard.
He was linked to the killings through new familial DNA techniques last year, jurors were told.
Opening the trial, prosecutor Duncan Atkinson QC described Fuller as a "controlled sexual deviant who preyed on young women and derived sexual gratification from the violation of their dead bodies".
He said the defendant had a "particular interest in the sexual assault of dead women" and abused corpses in the mortuaries of Kent and Sussex hospital and Tunbridge Wells hospital where he worked.
In his defence it was alleged he said "I just liked a stiff one before going to bed..."
(Well, maybe he didn't who knows...?)![Wink ;) ;)](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/wink.gif)
