The woman who was murdered in an act of cannibalism has been named as Cerys Marie Yemm from Blackwood.

Officers found Matthew Williams, 34, attacking the 22-year-old in the Sirhowy Arms Hotel, a halfway house for ex-offenders in Argoed.

He was arrested at the scene after being stunned with a Taser, but later died.

Williams was local to the area and had only recently been released from prison.
