She has sold their house in Heathfield, East Sussex, where police found his catalogued library of offences.
A source told The Sun: “She has been completely sickened and wants a divorce.”
Speaking to The Daily Mail last month, Mala said: “I couldn’t carry on in that relationship.
“I’m too upset to even think about what was going on, I couldn’t live with it.”
The bedsit murders in 1987 were one of the UK’s longest unsolved double killings.
It was solved 33 years later after a breakthrough in DNA evidence linked Fuller to the victims.
He pleaded guilty to murdering Ms Knell and Ms Pierce days into his trial, but it was as the judge said “only when there was no other option”.
Even as late as April this year he continued to dispute the DNA evidence and also claimed diminished responsibility for the murders.

There was no mitigation in his sentencing, with the judge describing him as intelligent and cunning.
He abused the corpses of three children out of the 78 victims identified, but the total is thought to be at least 100 if not more.
His youngest victim was aged just nine-years-old.
Fuller used a swipe card he had as an electrician to gain access to mortuaries to carry out his sickening attacks on victims, some of whom were the victims of suicide and car crashes.

Judge Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb told Fuller at the sentencing: “You had no regard for the dignity of the dead.
“You have spent the last 45 years living an outwardly mild and ordinary life.
You were described as a man good under pressure while in seclusion you committed acts of the deepest darkness.

“You became a vulture, picking your victims from among the dead within the hidden world of hospital mortuaries which you were free to inhabit simply because you had a swipe card.
“The depravity of what you did reveals your conscience is seared.
“You will spend every day of the rest of your life in prison.”
