Mummified Killer Found After 6 Months | Bristol News

A man wanted in connection with his partner’s death was found mummified in a caravan six months after a manhunt began—Richard Scatchard, 70, convicted of drugging and assaulting women decades ago, was on life license when he allegedly coerced his 61-year-old partner, Kelly Faiers, into an overdose that killed her. His body, discovered at an unfamiliar campsite with no known ties to him, showed advanced decomposition, making cause of death undetermined. Scatchard had secretly kept his relationship with Faiers from probation officers, despite being warned for breaching his license. The inquest also raised questions about police handling of the case, as the last confirmed sighting of Scatchard was the day after Faiers’ body was found—yet no evidence showed he was alive after October. His identity was confirmed through fingerprints. Both deaths remain under investigation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
