The 34-year-old man who has not been identified by police but has been named locally as
Matthew Williams, was allegedly eating the 22-year-old victim's face and eyeballs like 'Hannibal Lecter' when security staff at the
Sirhowy Arms Hotel, south Wales, burst in on the horrific attack. Staff raised the alarm before police arrived at the hotel in Argoed, a village in Caerphilly, south Wales, to find the female victim unconscious on the floor with appalling facial injuries.
Officers then tackled Williams - who was reportedly released from prison just two weeks ago with a high voltage Taser, knocking him to the floor. Moments later, he became unresponsive and died, despite efforts to save him. The woman also died from her injuries, police said, as the murder inquiry has been launched .
Jill Edwards, who lives near the hotel, said:
'This animal was eating this girl to death. He murdered her so police stopped him - good on them. Security said they told him no girls in his room and he didn't answer, when they opened his door he was eating her face.'
Williams - known by his nickname Fifi had just served half a five-year prison sentence for a violent attack on his partner who lives nearby. He was staying at the hotel, which operated as a bail hostel, and had taken his victim back there for a drink when the attack unfolded.
A Gwent Police spokeswoman said:
"We were called at 1.23am after a reported that a man was attacking a woman in the Sirhowy Arms Hotel. On arrival both the male and female were still at the location. A Taser was discharged and a man was arrested. The woman was located with injuries and has since been pronounced deceased. While under arrest, the man became unresponsive. Officers and paramedics administered first aid but he has since been pronounced deceased."
The spokeswoman added:
'We are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident and an investigation is underway.'
