GUILTY UK - Arrest in 1987 'Bedsit Murders' of Wendy Knell, 25, and Caroline Pierce, 20, in Kent

[SaintGertrude]

I wonder if the Bedgebury forest deaths will be re-looked into in light of this trial.

 

[CoverMeCagney]

Oliver Saxby was the defence barrister in Libby Squires trial, iirc.

Seems unlikely this killer killed two women in one year and that’s all.

 

[SaintGertrude]

It appears that back in the early days of the investigation the police were thinking of possibly two people involved in the crime, one raping and another doing the actual killing.

Is he trying to suggest he's insane?

The 2nd of the Bedgebury Forest murders in 1982 on the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells. As the newspaper article shows Jean Brook also once worked in Camden Road in Tunbridge Wells.

There must be a link between the cafe on Camden Rd and all four of them

An electrician with diminished responsibility???
How scary!

Didn't Ian Huntley fake mental illness after he killed Holly and Jessica?

The keyrings belonging to Wendy Knell was never found.
A novelty keyring found at this murder scene so wondering if the perpetrator may have a thing about keyrings. Has the person on trial got any Scottish links.
Scots cops believe novelty keyring could help solve 26-year old murder

Wendy's keys which had a little brass cow bell from Austria have never been found

The keyring, which was a souvenir from Austria, had a small brass cow bell attached to a multi-coloured key fob, a brass plate with 'Woman Of The Year' engraved on it, and two keys. The possessions have never been found.

It is really heartbreaking to read what the parents went through
But the Police now have the suspect, right?

The suspect has admitted to some form of guilt in responsibility for both killings subject to the potential issue of diminished responsibility."
An interesting point to note is that If you look at a previous report in the historical freedom of information record it is talking about the possibility of two people involved, one raping the women and another doing the killing. I am wondering if there will be a lot more to this that comes out in the trial than previously thought.

I think that is a great observation Lord Peter Flimsy and maybe something you might like to point out to crimestoppers.

 

[Legally Bland]

A man who admitted killing two women in 1987 abused female corpses in two hospital morgues, a court has been told.

David Fuller, 67, of Heathfield, East Sussex, attacked Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce in Tunbridge Wells.

Mr Fuller previously admitted killing them subject to "diminished responsibility", but denied murder.

A jury at Maidstone Crown Court heard he had "depraved sexual predilections".

His image was on the lunchtime local news. I know it doesn't mean anything but he looks so creepy.

David Fuller denies murdering two Tunbridge Wells women in 1987 - live updates

Is anyone able to find out about Fuller's links to Crowborough please as there is something I need to look into. Can anyone find out if Ashdown Control Centre is near Jarvis Brook. Also there was the case of a moonlit rapist in the early 1980's. It would be interesting to check old newspaper archives if anyone has access.
