Warning: This article contains details that some may find distressing, including violence and descriptions of a sexual nature. Three men enjoying a speedboat ride at a luxury resort in Colombia - Albert Alfonso's selfie with Yostin Mosquera and Paul Longworth makes them look like the best of friends. But the reality was quite the smiles there were complex relationships based on extreme sex, domination and financial transactions, all existing alongside a loving and caring partnership. Four months after the photo was taken, Mosquera mercilessly killed both men in their London flat on 8 July 2024, before dismembering their bodies, and travelling more than 116 miles (186km) with them in a suitcase. He hired a man with a van to drive him to Bristol, who dropped him off close to the city's suspension bridge, where Mosquera planned to throw them off.

Always buy you a drink, sit down and have a chat."George Hutchison, who also used to drink with Paul, said: "He was just one of the boys. He was a very nice man, never did anybody any harm." Although Albert was said to have been private about his personal life, the trial revealed a world of extreme sex which he frequently paid for, participated in and shared videos of was a side of his life that Paul had nothing to do with, although he knew about it and seemed to accept a Colombian national, was also posting scores of videos of himself online performing extreme sex acts under various 35, he lived in Medellin, and had five brothers and one sister, who died a few years ago.

He told the court he was raped "every day" by Albert and did not take any enjoyment from the extreme sex acts, which he was paid to October 2023 Albert paid for Mosquera to visit him in the UK, staying at their London his stay, Mosquera visited Madame Tussauds, took a trip on an open top bus and went on a boat trip on the River in March 2024, Albert took Paul to Colombia where they stayed at Cartahenga - and Albert paid for Mosquera to come and meet Dore, one of Paul's drinking friends told the BBC they had warned him about travelling to the country."We said 'that's a dangerous place Paul, don't muck about over there'," Mr Dore said.

Husband who stabbed wife to death as she pushed baby in pram to be sentenced
A controlling husband who stabbed his wife to death as she pushed their baby in a pram after tracking her to a women's refuge is to be sentenced on Tuesday. Habibur Masum, 27, was found guilty of murdering Kulsuma Akter in a 'ferocious' knife attack in broad daylight before leaving her bleeding to death and calmly walking away, leaving their seven-month-old son behind. Mr Justice Cotter will set the minimum jail term for Masum's life sentence during a hearing at Bradford Crown Court. Jurors at his trial heard Masum followed Ms Akter to a refuge in Bradford where she had been staying to escape him after he held a knife to her throat at their home in Greater Manchester. After finding her through her phone location, Masum loitered in streets around the hostel and sent her messages threatening to kill her family members if she did not return to him, before trying to lure her out by sending her fake messages from a local GP practice pretending their son had an appointment. The court heard Ms Akter eventually felt safe enough to leave the refuge on April 6 last year after Masum updated his Facebook page falsely claiming to be in Spain. As she was walking in the city centre with a friend, pushing her baby in a pram, Masum confronted her, the trial heard. CCTV footage of the attack captured Ms Akter's screams as Masum stabbed her at least 25 times. Jurors heard he then calmly walked through Bradford city centre and was seen on CCTV grinning as he got on a bus, believing at that point he was getting away. Masum travelled almost 200 miles south to Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and was arrested in the early hours of April 9 in a car park near Stoke Mandeville Hospital, where he had gone to be treated for 'lockjaw'. The trial heard the relationship between Masum and Ms Akter was 'an abusive relationship characterised by his jealousy, possessiveness and controlling behaviour'. The couple met and married in Bangladesh, and came to the UK in 2022 after he obtained a student visa and enrolled on a Masters course to study marketing. They moved into a house in Oldham together in September 2022. On November 23 2023, he became jealous over a 'completely innocuous' message Ms Akter received from a male colleague and held a knife to her throat. He was arrested and Ms Akter decided to leave him, being moved to the Bradford refuge by Oldham social services in January 2024.
