Who Is Yostin Mosquera? Adult Film Star Who Danced Unclothed And Soaked in Blood in Viral Video, Convicted of Gruesome Double Murder
In one of the most disturbing criminal cases to emerge from the UK in recent years, Colombian porn star Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, has been convicted of murdering two men in their West London apartment in July 2024.
The verdict was delivered at Woolwich Crown Court, where jurors were presented with deeply unsettling video footage that ultimately sealed Mosquera's fate. X
The victims, Paul Longworth, 71, and his partner Albert Alfonso, 62, had reportedly allowed Mosquera to stay with them. What was meant to be a consensual encounter took a horrific turn when Mosquera launched a violent and deadly attack. He set up a camera intending to record a sexual encounter but instead captured a gruesome crime scene. The footage showed Mosquera battering Longworth to death with a hammer before turning on Alfonso—taunting him during the stabbing and later dismembering both bodies.
The most chilling moment came as the camera continued to roll. Jurors were forced to watch as Mosquera, naked and soaked in blood, danced and sang around the apartment, seemingly euphoric after the murders. He then decapitated both victims and attempted to access their financial records using their computer.
Two days later, Mosquera was arrested in Bristol, over 100 miles from the crime scene. He was caught while trying to dispose of the dismembered body parts, which he had packed into suitcases and attempted to dump off the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
During the trial, Mosquera admitted to killing Alfonso but claimed it was manslaughter brought on by a sudden loss of control. However, the jury rejected that defense after being shown the deeply disturbing footage multiple times, as well as other forensic evidence including the bloodied hammer and body remains.
Detective Chief Inspector Ollie Stride called the investigation one of the most traumatic he and his team had ever faced, stating that the images would remain with them for years to come.
Mosquera will be sentenced on October 24.

Colombia denounces mass deportation of citizens from Ecuador
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Colombians who are deported by the Ecuadorian government line up at the Rumichaca International Bridge in Colombia, July 26, 2025. Colombian Foreign Ministry/Handout via REUTERS BOGOTA - Colombia's Foreign Ministry on Friday criticized Ecuador for deporting large numbers of Colombian citizens without a formal protocol, describing it as a "unfriendly gesture," while Quito said the removals followed legal procedures and upheld human rights standards. On Thursday, the Colombian government reported that authorities in the neighboring country had announced plans to deport Colombians currently imprisoned in various Ecuadorian penitentiaries. "Through diplomatic channels, Colombia has formally lodged its strongest protest against the Ecuadorian government for this unfriendly act, and is currently evaluating appropriate measures in response," the Foreign Ministry said Friday night. The ministry emphasized that Ecuador had taken this action "without implementing any protocol to guarantee the safe, orderly, and respectful transfer of detainees, in line with their human rights." Ecuador's Foreign Ministry said in a statement it had notified Colombia via diplomatic channels of individual deportation proceedings starting July 8, and that the process followed the country's legal framework. Authorities underscored their commitment to due process, citing the issuance of individual rulings and judicial release orders. "Ecuador therefore rejects claims of mass deportations," the ministry said. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Venezuelan makeup artist returns home, describes torture during El Salvador detention
Andry Hernandez, who was held for months in an El Salvador prison after the U.S. alleged he was a member of the Tren de Aragua gang, talks with friends at his home following his release, in Tachira, Venezuela July 23, 2025. REUTERS/Carlos Eduardo Ramirez CAPACHO, Venezuela - A makeup artist who became the face of more than 250 Venezuelan migrants deported by the U.S. to El Salvador's most notorious prison arrived home to his family on Wednesday after what he described as "an encounter with torture and death." Andry Hernandez, 32, and the other detainees returned to Venezuela on Friday as part of a prisoner exchange, after spending four months in El Salvador's CECOT prison, where they and the Venezuelan government allege they were beaten, shot with rubber projectiles, held in dark cells, and served rotten food. "Many of our fellows have wounds from the nightsticks; they have fractured ribs, fractured fingers and toes, marks from the handcuffs, others have marks on their chests, on their face ... from the projectiles," Hernandez told journalists at his home in Capacho, near the Colombian border. U.S. President Donald Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport the men, who his government accuses of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang, without normal immigration procedures. The deportations sparked a legal battle led by civil rights groups. Families and lawyers of many of the men have denied they have gang ties. Hernandez, detained at the U.S.-Mexico border during the Biden administration, had an active asylum case when he was deported to CECOT. His case was widely covered in the media. Advocates in the U.S. have voiced concerns that Hernandez, who is gay, faces risks in Venezuela due to LGBTQ persecution. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Hernandez denied the allegation. In a video broadcast on state television on Monday, Hernandez alleged sexual abuse by the guards at CECOT, and Venezuela's attorney general has said his office will investigate El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over alleged abuses. Bukele's office has not responded to requests for comment on the alleged torture. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson has referred allegations of mistreatment to El Salvador's government, while the U.S. Department of Homeland Security dismissed the allegations of abuse on Tuesday, calling the men "criminal, illegal gang members." Reuters was not able to immediately confirm the abuse allegations. Hernandez's parents, Felipe Hernandez and Alexi Romero, have been anxiously awaiting his return since Tuesday, when he called to say he was on the way from Caracas, some 820 kilometers (510 miles) away. Hernandez said he was most happy to see them and his brother, but was also touched to find out that friends and family held vigils on his behalf and campaigned for his return. "It fills me with so much peace, so much comfort, so much tranquility that I was never alone, from day one. There were many people who worried for me," he said. REUTERS
