Investigations are continuing after a woman was murdered in an act of cannibalism and her suspect died after Gwent Police fired a Taser at him.
Matthew Williams, 34, was found attacking the 22-year-old victim in the former Sirhowy Arms Hotel in Argoed, Blackwood, at 01:23 GMT on Thursday.
Officers fired the Taser at Williams and he was arrested but later died.
His death is being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
Gwent Police said Williams was local to the area and the woman was from Blackwood.
The pair are believed to have been in a relationship and the force said it is not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
VulnerableThe property where the murder took place is used as temporary accommodation for homeless people.
IPCC Commissioner for Wales, Jan Williams, said: "I would like to express my sincere condolences to the families of the deceased at this sad and difficult time.
"Our investigators are gathering all relevant evidence to understand the full circumstances of what happened."

Forensic teams have been searching for clues at Sirhowy Arms Hotel in Argoed
Argoed Baptist Chapel secretary June Trace told BBC Wales that the Sirhowy Arms was converted into accommodation for vulnerable people several years ago.
She said it had a "fluctuating population" of people, often aged in their 30s or 40s, who would stay there for a time before moving on.
Despite concerns of some villagers when the plans were first put forward to convert the building, she said there had never been any trouble there.
However, other people living in Argoed said there had been issues at the hostel and police had been called to resolve problems there frequently.
