Overview
- A jury at Woolwich Crown Court convicted 35-year-old Yostin Andres Mosquera of murdering civil partners Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth after a retrial resolved evidence disputes from an earlier trial.
- Prosecutors proved he decapitated and dismembered the victims, froze parts of their remains and transported other body parts in two suitcases to Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge.
- Digital footprints—such as online searches for freezers and fatal head strikes—and graphic video footage of the attacks underpinned the prosecution’s case for calculated premeditation.
- Detectives described the investigation as one of the most harrowing they have encountered, citing the distressing video evidence jurors were required to view.
- Authorities say no evidence has emerged tying Mosquera to any additional offences beyond these murders.
