We're convinced it's blood coming from suitcase – what caller told 999 operator

We're convinced it's blood coming from suitcase – what caller told 999 operator

Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, killed civil partners Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, on July 8 last year in their flat in Scotts Road, Shepherd's Bush, west London.
Mosquera, who was also staying with the couple, 'decapitated and dismembered' them, froze parts of their remains and brought the rest in suitcases to Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, the prosecution said.
A jury at Woolwich Crown Court found Mosquera guilty of murdering the men on Monday.

Avon and Somerset Police were called to the Bristol landmark just before midnight on July 10 last year, after bridge staff became suspicious.
They had been dealing with a woman in crisis when they saw Mosquera with two heavy suitcases on the Leigh Woods side of the bridge.
Mosquera told them the large suitcases, one red and one silver, contained car parts and that the liquid dripping from them was oil.
A cyclist challenged Mosquera about the suitcases and bravely chased after the double killer as he fled down a hill – filming him on his phone.
The 999 call made to police has been released in which the caller says 'we're convinced it's blood' about the case and Mosquera 'didn't want to open the case'.
The caller first says, 'we're going to need police up here quite urgently, I think'.
He says they had a man who was 'dragging a case behind him' and he did not speak English, so a man on a bike came along to help as he could speak Spanish.
The caller said Mosquera told them the suitcase contained car parts.
He added: 'It's really heavy, and there's blood coming out of it. It looks like there's blood coming out of the case.
'He then said there were two cases, so he went up the road to get the second case.
'The guy on the bike who's just a member of the public, followed him. The guy has now run off.'
The caller said of the case: 'It looks like blood to us, without smashing the case open, we're not really going to know, and that's obviously for you, but it's just, it's, it's blood. We're, yeah, we're convinced it's blood.'
He said they, 'did sort of like suggest to him, do you want to open a case? Tell us what's in it', and he 'didn't want to open the case', adding that he 'sat on the case at one stage'.
The caller gave emergency services a description of Mosquera.
Police officers attended the bridge and had to open the suitcases, which contained the torsos and limbs of the victims, Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth.

Brit family fly to France to search for man missing for 10 days

Robert Kincaid was last seen at Charles De Gaulle Airport, where he failed to board his flight home. The family of a missing British man who didn't board his flight home ten days ago are preparing to fly to France to begin searching for him. ‌ Robert Kincaid from Tullycarnet in East Belfast, had been working on an oil rig in Benin and was due to fly home on July 17. However, the 38-year-old missed his connecting flight at Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris to Dublin and has not been heard from since. ‌ Later that evening, his family attempted to FaceTime him but the phone was answered by a man they did not know. A second call was picked up by a woman. Since then, all attempts to reach him have failed. ‌ Speaking to Belfast Live, Robert's brother Louis said his disappearance was completely out of character, and the family is now 'up to high dough with worry.' 'Robert had been working on an oil rig in Benin and was due to fly back on 17th July. He missed his flight at ten past seven from Charles De Gaulle Airport, and his phone is completely off now,' Louis said. ‌ 'When we spoke to him around eight o'clock, he had missed his flight and had had a few drinks on him. We tried to contact him around ten o'clock that night on FaceTime, and it was answered by a black man who appeared to be in a corrugated hut. He spoke with broken English and said that the phone was on zero percent, then it cut off. 'We rang him again the following day, and the phone was answered by a woman, and we could hear a baby crying in the background, but the phone is now completely gone, and calls and messages aren't going through.' Louis said the family reported Robert missing to the PSNI and have been in contact with the British Embassy in Paris, but so far they have received no information. ‌ 'We have contacted the British Embassy and the PSNI. Everything is being done through Interpol but as of yet we have heard absolutely nothing. 'We haven't been able to get in contact with the French police, and the Embassy has said that they are restricted in terms of what they can tell us other than he is not in any of the hospitals or medical centres. 'We are up to high dough with worry. It has been ten days, and it is completely out of character for us to have no phone contact. 'We are preparing to fly out for a couple of days on Wednesday to do a mini search. I know it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I am not sure what we will accomplish, but we have to do something.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
