Murder-accused 'went to bridge to hurl bodies off'
A man accused of murdering and dismembering a couple specifically travelled to Bristol to "hurl" suitcases containing their bodies off the Clifton Suspension Bridge, a court has heard. Yostin Mosquera, 35, denies murdering Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso on 8 July last year at their flat in London, where he was staying. Summing up the prosecution case at Woolwich Crown Court earlier, Deanna Heer KC said Mr Mosquera's "specific intention" was to throw the suitcases into the Avon Gorge, but he "miscalculated his own strength". "He chose to go to Bristol for a purpose – not because it began with a B or because of football – but because of the bridge," she said. WARNING: This article contains material that some people may find distressing. Mr Mosquera previously admitted the manslaughter of Mr Alfonso by way of loss of self-control. He is accused of murdering him by stabbing him to death during a recorded sex session at a flat in Shepherds Bush. More news stories for Bristol Watch the latest Points West Listen to the latest news for Bristol He is also accused of killing Mr Longworth with a hammer earlier on the same day and of then hiding his body in a divan bed. Mr Mosquera denies murdering either man, and insists Mr Alfonso killed Mr Longworth. The court was told Mr Mosquera dismembered the bodies and took them to Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol in an effort to dispose of the remains. The jury previously heard Mr Mosquera had only heard of Bristol in the context of "football" and had never been to the city before. During his questioning on Friday, he told the court he had originally chosen to take the bodies to Brighton and had contacted a man with a van to arrange transport. Shortly afterwards, Mr Mosquera said he decided to take the bodies to Bristol instead. "[There was] no specific reason, just because it was in the same alphabetic order, I didn't know anything about it," he told the court. Ms Heer said Mr Mosquera logged onto a computer to access Excel spreadsheets containing banking information and passwords within a minute of Mr Alfonso's death. Addressing the jury, she said: "Yostin Mosquera told you he accessed those documents probably because he needed money to take the suitcases to Brighton/Bristol. "It demonstrates he must have very quickly been thinking about his next step. "He knew he had two bodies to dispose of and he was getting on with it," she said. "It may not have been the best plan, nobody is suggesting he's some kind of criminal genius but it was a plan that he set out to execute," she added. The trial continues.

Columbia porn actor accused of Clifton Suspension Bridge murders tells jury how he cut up victim's body
A Columbia porn actor accused of murdering a couple and dumping their dismembered bodies in suitcases at Clifton Suspension Bridge told a court how he 'cut' the body of one of the victims. Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, knifed Albert Alfonso, 62, repeatedly during sex after he had allegedly bludgeoned his partner Paul Longworth, 71, with a hammer. He then put the dismembered heads in a chest freezer, Woolwich Crown Court heard. Other parts of their bodies were found in two suitcases on Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge on July 10, last year. Mosquera had been staying at the couple's home on Scotts Road, Shepherd's Bush, west London. He had met Mr Alfonso online where the Columbian used the names 'iamblackmaster and 'mrd-k20cm', the court heard. He came to the UK to study English and participate in sex acts and he dominated and degraded Mr Alfonso which the older man made films of which he posted online. Mosquera denies murdering retired handyman Mr Longworth, who he claims was killed by Mr Alfonso. He also denies murdering Mr Alfonso, a swimming instructor, but admits manslaughter. Earlier in his evidence, Mosquera claimed Mr Alfonso cut up Mr Longworth's body after killing him. He said he stabbed Mr Alfonso because he was 'afraid that he would do the same to me that he had done to Paul'. Continuing her cross-examination prosecutor Deanna Heer, KC, asked Mosquera why he stabbed Mr Alfonso in the neck. She said: 'You could have stabbed him in the back.' Mosquera replied: 'I don't know.' Ms Heer said: 'You could have stabbed him in the buttock, couldn't you? Mr Alfonso's back was completely unprotected. 'You're an adult, you know that if you stab someone in the neck it is likely to be very dangerous, do you agree?' Mosquera replied: 'Yes.' Ms Heer asked him: 'And if you keep stabbing someone in the neck you are likely to kill them?' 'Yes,' he agreed. 'The only reason why you would stab someone in the neck in that way is because you wanted to kill them, do you agree?', asked Ms Heer. 'I don't know, I don't remember anything,' said Mosquera. 'I can't be certain of anything.' Mosquera said after seeing Mr Longworth's dismembered body, he decided to do the same to Mr Alfonso's corpse. 'Yes I saw Paul's body and I cut Albert's. I don't know the exact moment but I cut it having seen Paul's body'. Ms Heer told Mosquera: 'You lied to people about what was in the suitcases. You told them the suitcases contained mechanical parts or car parts. And you lied to Mr Cunningham, the cyclist, and the bridge staff'. Mosquera replied: 'Ok.' Ms Heer said: 'You've lied to the jury, haven't you Mr Mosquera, throughout your evidence?' 'No', he replied. Ms Heer said Mosquera had replied no comment when he was interviewed by the police. 'You made no comment so that you could wait and make up a story later, knowing that you had murdered both Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso.' Mosquera insisted that he had been advised by his lawyer to make no comment. 'They just told me to reply no comment,' he said. The trial continues.

Porn star, 34, who ‘dumped suitcases with decapitated couple's bodies on bridge' says he was ‘raped every day' by victim
DOUBLE 'MURDER' Porn star, 34, who 'dumped suitcases with decapitated couple's bodies on bridge' says he was 'raped every day' by victim A PORN star accused of murdering two men and cutting them up before travelling to the Clifton Suspension Bridge with some of their body parts has claimed he was "raped every day" by one of his alleged victims. Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, is on trial for the murders of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, on July 8 last year in the flat the two shared in Scotts Road, Shepherd's Bush, west London. 5 Yostin Andres Mosquera is on trial for the murders of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71 5 Yostin Andres Mosquera, left, with Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth 5 Mosquera 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 have previously heard. Mosquera was planning to steal money from them and he has also "made up" a claim of rape against Mr Alfonso, prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said. Under cross-examination on Monday, Mosquera claimed that Mr Alfonso had "raped him every day" and that made him feel "sad" but not angry. Speaking through a translator, Mosquera, who was involved in filmed sex sessions with Mr Alfonso, told the court: "I felt sad. I never felt anger. I do not get angry with anybody," Mosquera had first come to the UK from Colombia in June 2024 on the promise of English lessons and financial support from Mr Alfonso, whom he had met years earlier through webcam sex websites. Of the alleged sex assaults, Mosquera told the court: "I felt humiliated, sad, trapped - I never tend to get to anger." The alleged rapes sometimes "would happen so quickly because he (Mr Alfonso) would drink beer and not be aware of what was happening". He also claimed there were times when Mr Alfonso was "out of control." Ms Heer took Mosquera to his "detailed" defence statement produced for the trial and said "there is no mention of Albert Alfonso raping you". She told Mosquera: "Albert Alfonso insisted the defendant and he would make a number of sex videos and you did not feel you had any option, you felt sexually exploited. "You were aware that Mr Alfonso was making money out of posting videos of your sexual activity and that made you feel even more exploited - but you do not mention at all Mr Mosquera, that Mr Alfonso was raping you every day. "Is that because you are making it up?" Mosquera replied: "No." Mosquera admits killing Mr Alfonso but claims it was manslaughter by reason of loss of control. He denies murdering either man and insists Mr Alfonso killed Mr Longworth. Both Mr Alfonso's and Mr Longworth's remains were later found in a suitcase near Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. Mosquera had been sharing paid sexual content of himself online for more than a decade, including under the name I Am Black Master, the jury heard. His claim of not knowing Mr Alfonso was posting their videos online was branded as "a nonsense" by the prosecution. It said he had signed a form which gave his permission that he could have got translated. Mr Alfonso killed Mr Longworth after they had a row in the bathroom, according to Mosquera. The court heard he saw Mr Alfonso get some black gloves from a bedroom, before hearing noises from the next room. Then Mr Alfonso walked Mr Longworth to a bedroom and went on to have a long shower. Mosquera said he could not tell if Mr Longworth was injured, and told the jury "I wasn't sure if he was alive or not" and "I was quite afraid". Mr Alfonso was wearing the gloves and there was "bleeding on his hands". Within minutes of killing Mr Alfonso, Mosquera was online and trying to look at the man's bank account, the court heard. Then in the early hours of the morning, Mosquera took Mr Alfonso's bank card and walked to the cashpoint and withdrew money. Mosquera said: "In the beginning I did not know where I was going to take the suitcases. I was going to go to Brighton." Ms Heer said: "You decided to take money from Mr Alfonso after you killed him." Mosquera said: "Yes, because he was supposed to give me money before but he was not able to. He was supposed to give me money to go to Brighton." The prosecution also said that Mosquera had got hold of Mr Alfonso's financial information. Ms Heer said: "You copied over pages from spreadsheets containing Mr Alfonso's bank account details, user names and id's, passwords - relating to Barclays, Halifax, Natwest, Moneygram, PayPal account - all of that information you copied on to your computer on June 27." Ms Heer continued: "The purpose of taking this document was because you wanted to steal money from Mr Alfonso." Mosquera replied "no", saying he moved "many documents, not just that one" and he sometimes cleared space on Mr Alfonso's computer. Ms Heer said that by 4 July, Mosquera had access to all of Mr Alfonso's and Mr Longworth's bank details. He was making searches in Spanish about whether it is possible to connect to a switched-off computer to see what is on the hard disc, posing questions about property values and how much he could withdraw from the Halifax Bank - even though he did not have an account with them. Mosquera said he was studying English and claimed some of his fellow Spanish-speaking students said bank accounts could be opened with certain data, so he tried it. The court heard Mosquera also made a search for buildings for sale in his hometown of Medellin, Colombia. Mosquera said: "I was always searching for these things. When I am in Colombia -how much building cost and cars. I even looked up how much Liverpool Football Club cost, because I am a fan." Searches on his computer brought up the value of the Scotts Road flat, including one on July 8 at 8.30am, the jury heard. Mosquera said the search was done out of "curiosity like always" and that this information would come up when you put the address into the computer but he was not looking for properties to rent or sell. Ms Heer told him: "You were planning to steal from Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth and you were trying to find out what they were worth." Mosquera replied: "No, if I wanted to do that I would have done this in Medellin in my own country. Why would I look for something I do not know." 5 The court heard Mosquera had created a PowerPoint of the couple's banking information Credit: PA
