An actor killed a man on camera during sex after he had battered his partner to death with a hammer, a court heard.
Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, then put the dismembered heads of Albert Alfonso, 62 and Paul Longworth, 71, into a chest freezer, jurors heard.
Other parts of their bodies were found in two suitcases on Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge on 10 July last year.
Mosquera, a Colombian national, had been staying at the couple's home on Scotts Road, Shepherd's Bush, west London, where the couple's decapitated heads were found.
Mosquera had met Mr Alfonso online where the Columbian used the names 'iamblackmaster and 'mrd—k20cm', the court heard.
He came to the UK to participate in sex acts and he dominated and degraded Mr Alfonso which the older man made films which he posted online.

Mosquera denies murdering retired handyman Mr Longworth, Woolwich Crown Court heard.
He also denies murdering Mr Alfonso, a swimming instructor, but admits his manslaughter.
Jurors were warned they would have to view the footage of Mr Alfonso being stabbed to death during sex.
Prosecutor Deanna Heer, KC, said: 'At about 11.30pm on the night of the 10 July 2024 Douglas Cunningham was cycling home across the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol when he saw the defendant, Yostin Mosquera, standing next to a large red suitcase.
'Thinking he was a lost tourist, Mr Cunningham stopped to see if he was okay.
'A few metres away from where the defendant was standing, on the bridge approach, there was another suitcase, a large silver trunk.

'The defendant told Mr Cunningham that he was from Colombia and that the suitcase he was standing with contained car parts. That was a lie.
'In fact, the suitcases contained the decapitated and dismembered bodies of Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso, which the defendant had taken to Bristol from their home in London where they had been killed two days before.
'Their decapitated heads would be found by the police in a chest freezer at their flat at 9 Scotts Road in Shepherds Bush.
'Paul Longworth had been attacked with a hammer to the back of his head, suffering repeated blows, such that his skull was shattered.
'Albert Alfonso had been repeatedly stabbed, suffering multiple wounds to his torso and to his face and to his neck. His throat had been cut.
'The defendant admits that he killed Albert Alfonso. He could hardly deny it, because the killing took place whilst he and Alfonso were having sex, and the sex and the killing were recorded on film.
'However, although he admits killing Albert Alfonso he denies the offence of murder, admitting only the lesser offence of manslaughter - and he denies that he killed Paul Longworth at all.
'He blames Albert Alfonso for Paul Longworth's death.

'The prosecution case is that the defendant murdered both men, that he intended to kill them, that his actions were planned and premeditated..'
Mosquera appeared in the dock wearing a white shirt assisted by a Spanish interpreter.
Mr Longworth was Irish and Mr Alfonso was originally from France but had obtained British citizenship.
The trial continues.
