A CANNIBAL who ate the face of a young woman was freed from prison just two weeks earlier with a serious drug problem, an investigation has revealed.
Matthew Williams, 34, was high when he lured shop assistant Cerys Yemm to his hotel room and attacked her — eating her eyeball and half her face as she screamed for help, The Sun reports.
Ms Yemm, 22, was pronounced dead at the Sirhowy Arms hotel in Argoed, near Caerphilly, South Wales, after a police officer broke through the door and tasered Williams.
Williams was out of jail on licence from a five-year prison sentence for assaulting his ex-girlfriend at the time of the horror attack.
He was staying in the B&B frequented by paedophiles and sex-offenders.
A Health Care Inspectorate Wales probe found it was “difficult” to see how health or probation services could have prevented the tragic incident.
Records revealed that Williams had been hooked on drugs since the age of nine and was diagnosed a schizophrenic in 2004.
Pals told how Williams bought Ms Yemm a drink then he invited her back to the hotel saying he would get her a cab home in November 2014.
It’s then thought he persuaded her to come up to his room — before launching his horrific attack.
Local resident Lyn Beasley said at the time: “He went Hannibal Lecter on the woman, he gouged her eyeballs out, ate them and ate half her face.
“He had just been released from prison and was high on coke.”
Williams died after he was tasered by cops.
Cerys’s father Dean Yemm said: “The only victim in this case was Cerys — a fact we feel has been lost.”
