Murderer’s family in shock after cannibal death

The family of a man who reportedly murdered a 22-year-old woman in an act of cannibalism say they are in "complete shock".

Cerys Marie Yemm died from her injuries at Sirhowy Arms Hotel, a homeless hostel in Argoed, Blackwood, South Wales yesterday.

Her attacker, 34-year-old Matthew Williams, who had recently been released from prison, also died at the scene shortly after police discharged a 50,000 volt Taser and arrested him.
