A man has been found guilty of murdering two men in London whom he decapitated and dismembered before taking their body parts in a suitcase to the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.
Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, was convicted at Woolwich crown court of the murders of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, on 8 July last year in the flat the couple shared in Scotts Road, Shepherd’s Bush, west London.
Mosquera repeatedly stabbed Alfonso, who suffered injuries to his torso, face and neck, while Longworth was attacked with a hammer to the back of his head and his “skull shattered”, the court heard.

Two days later, at about 11.30pm, Mosquera travelled to Bristol in an attempt to dispose of the body parts in two suitcases by throwing them from Clifton Suspension Bridge, the jury was told.
The police tracked the victims to the address on one of the suitcases and found Alfonso and Longworth’s severed heads in a chest freezer in their flat.
Mosquera admitted the manslaughter of Alfonso by reason of loss of control but denied two charges of murder and accused the victim of killing Longworth.
