A friend told me this story:
A friend of mine went on a hen-night in Prague, where her mates encouraged her to hook up with a guy. While at a bar, she met a guy, and they hit it off. He invited her back to his place, but she declined, because she didn’t want to leave her mates on a hen-night.
Within a week, she had a horrible rash all over her face, so she went to the doctor back in Britain. The doctor said that he’d never seen anything like it before, so he carried out some tests. The results showed that she had a very rare disease that can only be contracted from contact with dead people. He asked her if she had been in contact with corpses recently. The woman said no, and the only thing that she could think of was kissing a guy she met in a bar in Prague last week.
The woman had the man’s phone number, and from this the police were able to trace the man to his house in Prague, where he had hidden the dead bodies of four women, and apparently had sexual intercourse with their corpses.
It’s kind of a friend-of-a-friend story, but has anyone else heard about this, read an article about it, heard about it on the news, or does anyone know the name of the serial killer?
sounds totally implausible on several levels and is in the typical ‘urban legend’ format.

what a load of rubbish, don’t believe it for a minute, seriously.

This story bears all the hall marks of an urban legend, it happened in another country, a friend of a friend, it’s plausible but cannot be confirmed…
Even if other people have heard of it doesn’t make it true or false. Unless you can get your friend who told you to state the name of the source, and you can trace back from who told you all the way back to the woman involved and the police officers in question, chances are this is an urban legend and should be treated as such.

It’s an urban legend. I’ve heard this one before and the city involved changes each time.

Stories like this are mere warnings reminding us about the consequences of the actions we make.
In this case, ‘Your friend’ could be percieved at putting herself in danger by kissing/flirting/taking a strangers number in a strange land. The fact she picked up a rare skin disease from this ‘dead guy’ also backs up that we never can tell who people are and to be careful in such circumstances.

This is a newer variation of a common theme among urban legends. It is not very likely to be true. It is one of those "a friend of a friend told me" tales. Urban legends have been told for centuries all over the world, e.g. a common one is "The Vanishing Hitch Hiker". Modern versions of it have a man seeing a girl in a party dress standing beside the road on a stormy night. He offers her a ride and takes her to the address she gave him, but she has vanished during the ride there. An early version of this one is told in my country China. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), a man walking along a road between towns meets a young girl. He asks her where she lives and offers to escort her home, because it is dangerous for a girl to be walking alone there. As was the custom, the girl walked behind the man. When he reaches a town and the address in it she gave, he turns and see she is gone. He knocks on the door and tells the man who answers about the girl he met and where he met her. The man informs him that his daughter was slain by robbers at the spot where he met the girl ten years earlier and that men escort her to her home since then on the anniversary of her death. There is no disease that that can only be contracted from dead people. An early version of the motif you mention has two ladies in New England, USA spending a stormy night in a vacant house when their car breaks down. One awakens to see a man in a sailor uniform by the fireplace. He vanishes when she moves, and she sees some fungus in the wet spot where he stood. An analysis of the fungus shows it grows only on dead bodies. She is told that the son of the owners of the house had a son who was drowned when the ship on which he was a crewman sank. The similarity of your tale and this one shows it is just an urban legend.
