Video shows naked porn star dancing and singing while covered in blood from couple he had just murdered
Yostin Andres Mosquera, a 35-year-old Colombian national, was convicted Tuesday of murdering Paul Longworth, 71, and his partner, Albert Alfonso, 62, in their west London apartment in July last year.
He was convicted largely based on a chilling video captured on a camera set up to record a sex session — but that instead caught him killing the couple and then joyfully singing and dancing while naked and still covered in blood.
'Do you like it?' Mosquera taunts Alfonso at one point as he stabs him, hours after he had already battered Longworth to death with a hammer and hidden his body under bed covers.
Mosquera — a porn star who was staying with the couple — then decapitated and dismembered the men, stuffing their heads in a freezer as he also tried to access their bank details on their computer.
He was arrested two days later as he was confronted about 100 miles away in Bristol while hauling other body parts in suitcases that he dumped at the popular Clifton Suspension Bridge.
'This is probably one of the most traumatic, harrowing murder investigations I've dealt with by virtue of that video,' Detective Chief Inspector Ollie Stride said Tuesday.
'The team [has] consumed hundreds of hours of footage, including some of the utmost disturbing and graphic nature,' the lead investigator said. 'Those images will stay with all of us for a very long time.'
Mosquera admitted killing Alfonso, but claimed it was manslaughter by reason of loss of control.
But he was found guilty of murder at Woolwich Crown Court in southeast London, where a jury was repeatedly shown the distressing evidence.
'We put serious demands on jurors, in this case more than most,' said the judge, Sir Joel Nathan Bennathan.
Mosquera will be sentenced on October 24.

Colombia ex-president Uribe guilty of bribing official
Former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe has been found guilty of abuse of process and bribery of a public official in a years-long witness-tampering case, making the right-wing politician the country's first ex-president convicted at trial. Judge Sandra Liliana Heredia read her decision to the court over the course of some 10 hours. She found the right-wing politician not guilty of a separate bribery charge. The ruling, which Uribe's legal team said he will appeal, is the latest decision in a hugely politicised case that has run for about 13 years. Uribe, 73, and his supporters say the process is a persecution and that he is innocent. His detractors have celebrated it as the deserved downfall for a man who has been repeatedly accused of close relationships with violent right-wing paramilitaries, but never convicted of any crime. Each charge carries a jail sentence of between six and 12 years. Heredia is expected to sentence Uribe in a later hearing. "Justice does not kneel before power," Heredia told the court. "It is at the service of the Colombian people." "We want to say to Colombia that justice has arrived," she said, adding that her full decision is some 1000 pages long. Uribe and one of his lawyers, Jaime Granados, joined the hearing via video link, while another lawyer, Jaime Lombana, appeared in person. Granados said the presumption of Uribe's innocence should be maintained and asked for him to remain free during the remainder of the process, a decision Heredia said she will take on Friday. Even if the conviction is eventually upheld, Uribe may be allowed to serve his sentence on house arrest because of his age. Uribe, who was president from 2002 to 2010 and oversaw a military offensive against leftist guerrilla groups, was investigated along with several allies over allegations of witness tampering carried out in an attempt to discredit accusations he had ties to paramilitaries. Judges have twice rejected requests by prosecutors to shelve the case, which stems from Uribe's allegation in 2012 that leftist Senator Ivan Cepeda had orchestrated a plot to tie him to paramilitaries. The Supreme Court said in 2018 that Cepeda had collected information from former fighters as part of his work and had not paid or pressured former paramilitaries. Instead, the court said it was Uribe and his allies who pressured witnesses. Uribe's trial triggered sharp criticism from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio ahead of the judge's decision. "Uribe's only crime has been to tirelessly fight and defend his homeland. The weaponisation of Colombia's judicial branch by radical judges has now set a worrisome precedent," Rubio said on X. Uribe, who was placed under house arrest for two months in 2020, is head of the powerful Democratic Centre party and was a senator for years both before and after his presidency. Uribe joins a list of Latin American leaders who have been convicted and sometimes jailed, including Peru's Alberto Fujimori, Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Ecuador's Rafael Correa, Argentina's Cristina Fernandez and Panama's Ricardo Martinelli.

Video shows naked porn star dancing and singing while covered in blood from couple he had just murdered
Shocking video shows a porn star dancing naked while covered in blood moments after he murdered a couple whose decapitated, hacked-up bodies he then dumped at a popular UK landmark. Yostin Andres Mosquera, a 35-year-old Colombian national, was convicted Tuesday of murdering Paul Longworth, 71, and his partner, Albert Alfonso, 62, in their west London apartment in July last year. He was convicted largely based on a chilling video captured on a camera set up to record a sex session — but that instead caught him killing the couple and then joyfully singing and dancing while naked and still covered in blood.
