A 22-YEAR-OLD woman killed in a hotel room had bite marks on her body, but there is no evidence she was “eaten”, an inquest has heard.

Cerys Yemm died after being attacked by Matthew Williams at the Sirhowy Arms Hotel in Argoed in the early hours of Thursday, November 6, 2014.

Williams, 34, died after being Tasered by police.

Dr Richard Jones, a home office forensic pathologist, told the inquest into the deaths yesterday that Ms Yemm died from sharp force trauma to the face and neck.

In a post-mortem examination, Dr Jones noted Ms Yemm had 89 separate injuries.

“In general the injuries were either blunt or sharp force or a mixture of the two. There were also three or four injuries which were bite marks.”

In his report, Dr Jones said there were injuries to Ms Yemm’s nose, ears, mouth and left eye.

He said head and neck injuries were most relevant to the cause of death.

“The nature of the injuries would have brought a rapid loss of consciousness,” Dr Jones told the inquest.

The pathologist said the blunt injuries suffered by Ms Yemm could have been caused by being hit with a cereal bowl.

Dr Jones said there was no evidence that any part of her body had been eaten.

When asked, he said there was no suggestion any of the injuries were caused by a screwdriver.

He said the bite marks were not relevant to the cause of death.

A jury at the inquest also heard from forensic dentist Romina Carabott, who told the inquiry bite marks were found on Ms Yemm’s abdomen and right-hand wrist.

Examinations showed three “definite” bite marks on the abdomen, two which appeared to have come from Williams’ teeth.

She concluded that Williams was the “probable biter” in relation to the two marks.

The forensic dentist also said there was a “probable bite mark” on Ms Yemm’s right-hand wrist.

Scientist Gillian O’ Boyle, who examined the room at the Sirhowy Arms Hotel told the inquest that she found 16 ceramic pieces, which she believed came from a cereal bowl.

She said analysis made her believe the bowl had been used to hit an individual.

Blood was found by the chest of drawers in the room, which may have resulted from an assault on Ms Yemm, the scientist told the inquest.

Police officer Matthew Rees told an inquest that when he examined the Taser used it was partially covered in blood. He said the Taser was activated four times and was working correctly.

Forensic scientist Emma Edwards told the inquest Matthew Williams had a “high” level of amphetamine in his blood.

She said it was likely that he was experiencing effects of the drug at the time of his death.
