A young footballer took his own life after discovering his late mother was a victim of David Fuller. Jay Carr, 20, suffered from mental health problems when he was told by police his mother had been abused by double murderer Fuller after her death.
Fuller was sentenced to two whole life sentences in December 2021 for killing Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, in 1987. He was also given concurrent sentences worth 12 years for sexual offences against 78 dead women at mortuaries in Tunbridge Wells Hospital and at the former Kent and Sussex Hospital between 2008 and 2020.
Jay’s family believe he should not have been told about his mother being a victim of Fuller, given his existing mental health issues. He was discovered by police in a wooded area near his home in Snodland, Kent, on September 20 after going missing the previous day.
