Caroline pierce 2016 - CWJ Statement: The abuse of Azra Kemal and other victims by David Fuller — Centre for Women's Justice

It is now time for a more open dialogue, however shocking, about this offence and how it can be prevented.

This programme is funded purely by donations.

The Azra Kemal Legal Internship Programme is aims to address the underrepresentation of Black, Asian and minoritized women in the legal profession.

Not only did Fuller take the lives of two young women, Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce, but he was able to sexually violate the recently deceased bodies of 80-100 women and girls with the youngest victim just nine years old.

Necrophilia, or penetration of a corpse, first became an offence under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 The maximum sentence for this crime is just 2 years.

Those actions were a crime of violence not only to the bodies of the dead, but to their bereaved loved ones.
