Undertaker who said bodies were ‘fit’ invited man to morgue for sex with bodies

Nigel Robinson-Wright, who targeted “the powerless” including “babies, toddlers, children, the dead and animals,” was sentenced to 17 years in prison with an eight-year license term after his gruesome crimes were discovered

A perverted undertaker invited another man to the morgue he was in charge of to have sex with a corpse after befriending monsters online.

Depraved Nigel Robinson-Wright, 42, posed for photos alongside open coffins and naked corpses.

He offered to provide a man with crystal meth to facilitate sexual activity at the Chapel of Tranquility, Preston Crown Court heard.

Prosecutor Kim Whittlestone told the court Robinson-Wright chatted with pedophiles, animal abusers and those with an interest in corpses in encrypted, military-grade chat rooms. LancsLive Report.

The worker, who called bodies “fit,” goaded a man who sexually abused a puppy and set up a date with a pedophile who offered up a toddler for rape.

However, following the arrest of a pedophile in London in September 2021, police uncovered Robinson-Wright’s sinister sexual world.

Online chats between the two men led them to the funeral home and on November 1, 2021 officers visited Robinson-Wright at his home in Chain Lane, Blackpool.

Ms Whittlestone told the court a number of digital devices were confiscated and some were examined at the scene.

She said: “He was in possession of indecent images and there was evidence that he was distributing images.

“Extreme pornography was discovered that involved torture and sexual abuse of children and animals.

“The defendant had been in contact with others via social media and had organized the commission of sexual offenses against children, dogs and corpses.”

A man who seemed familiar to Robinson-Wright shared sexual fantasies about the customers of the Preston Funeral Home, where Robinson-Wright worked.

“There was a strong issue of necrophilia that was openly debated between the parties,” Ms Whittlestone said.

The men discussed sexual activity at the funeral home, saying it was “awesome when we fucked at the lectern.”

Robinson-Wright spoke of being high on poppers and crystal meth – and offered to supply the man with drugs.

In a separate chat, the defendant was in contact with a pedophile and arranged to meet him to sexually abuse a child, jurors heard.

However, police intercepted the chat before the plan went through, the court heard.

In other conversations, he opened up about his fascination with Fred West and Jamie Bulger.

Robinson-Wright made no comment when questioned by police, but later pleaded guilty to: organizing the commission of a sexual offense against children, inciting three counts of indecent imagery, eight counts of disseminating indecent imagery, possession of a banned image of one child, possession of extreme pornography, two counts of intentionally encouraging or abetting the commission of a crime by inviting an unidentified man to the morgue and encouraging a man to sexually abuse a dog, and attempting to supply a Class A drug.

Defense attorney Tom Lord asked for 16 other offenses to be considered and said his client’s guilty plea was his best mitigation.

He said: “The defendant’s plea is an admission of what can only be described as rampant deviation and a grotesque breach of trust.”

Judge Graham Knowles QC said in sentencing: “Taken together these are heinous offences.

“Nigel William Robinson-Wright, you have shed your own humanity and chosen to pursue cruelty, degradation and depravity relentlessly.

“You boasted about it. Your targets were all powerless – babies, toddlers, children, the dead and animals.

“Part of what you did was look at pictures. Some of what you did was share these pics with other like-minded pervs.

“Instead of cherishing, protecting, and respecting children, the dead, animals, and others as others do, you have always reveled in injustice.”

Speaking to a parole officer, Robinson-Wright described himself as an animal lover who cared for rescued cats and ferrets and said those who abused animals were “despicable”.

He claimed much of what was discussed was “fantasy” – but the judge dismissed his claims.

He sentenced Robinson-Wright to 17 years in prison with an eight-year license extension.
