Overview

• A Woolwich Crown Court jury found 35-year-old Yostin Andres Mosquera guilty of murdering Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, at their Shepherd’s Bush flat in July 2024.
• Prosecutors said Mosquera decapitated and dismembered the couple, stashing severed heads in a freezer and hauling body parts in suitcases to Bristol.
• The case hinged on graphic video footage, CCTV of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and Mosquera’s digital trail, including searches for a chest freezer and bank details.
• Mosquera admitted killing one victim but claimed manslaughter by loss of control and blamed Alfonso for the second death, a defence unanimously rejected by jurors.
• Under UK law, he faces mandatory life imprisonment with his minimum term to be set after the court considers the psychiatric report.
