Avon and Somerset Police said the body of the man found in a caravan near Cleeve Hill in Watchet, just after 2pm on April 4, is that of Richard Scatchard, 70, from Minehead in Somerset.
The police previously warned that Scatchard, who was convicted of sexual offences in which he administered drugs to his victims, posed a serious risk to women with whom he formed relationships. “Therefore, as is routine in such cases, we continue to treat the death as unexplained, albeit we are not aware at this time of there being any suspicious circumstances.The force will be referring itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct .
Ms Faiers’ daughter, Jazz, said she felt angry at the news, with the family having faced a difficult five and a half months.“All of this could have been prevented if he was taken for questioning by police on the day.“We miss her, we understand nothing will bring her back but she deserved so much more.”Scatchard called the ambulance service to his home address in Blenheim Road at 4.15am on October 15, reporting Ms Faiers was critically ill. She was pronounced dead by paramedics.
