A man has been found guilty of murdering two men and dumping their remains in suitcases near Clifton Suspension Bridge. Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, killed civil partners Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, on July 8 last year in their flat in Scotts Road, Shepherd's Bush, west London.

Mosquera, who was also staying with the couple, "decapitated and dismembered" them, froze parts of their remains and brought the rest in suitcases to Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, according to the prosecution. He is alleged to have repeatedly stabbed Mr Alfonso, who suffered injuries to his torso, face and neck, while Mr Longworth was attacked with a hammer to the back of his head and his skull shattered, jurors at Woolwich Crown Court heard.

Mr Alfonso was a Colombian national whom he met online years earlier, the jurors heard. He was stabbed to death during a filmed session, with footage shown in court recording Mosquera singing and dancing in the aftermath of the attack.

Mosquera's plan was to hurl the suitcases over the bridge to dispose of the remains after the "calculated" and "premeditated" killings, prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said.

Mosquera admitted killing Mr Alfonso but claimed it was manslaughter by reason of loss of control.

He pleaded not guilty to murdering both men and insisted Mr Alfonso killed Mr Longworth.

It took a jury five hours and three minutes to unanimously find Mosquera guilty.

He had told the jury he feared for his own life and believed he was about to be killed when he stabbed Mr Alfonso.

The defendant claimed that he thought Mr Alfonso would do to him what he claims he had already done to Mr Longworth, he felt "intimidated" and threats had been made to his family in Colombia.

Mosquera's actions after stabbing Mr Alfonso, including singing and dancing, could have been an outburst as he had been overwhelmed by all that had happened to him, his defence counsel suggested.

The judge, Mr Justice Bennathan KC, said he would sentence Mosquera on October 24.

He said: "I am not going to pass sentence on you today although the only one I can pass on you is one of life imprisonment.

"I am going to order a psychiatric report on you. It is in your interests to cooperate with the psychiatrist so that I can decide the minimum term you are going to serve."
