Chilling moment naked porn star dances covered in victims' blood after double killing
Twisted killer Yostin Andres Mosquera can be seen without clothes singing and dancing in the aftermath of his attack on Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth last year Harrowing footage shows a killer singing and dancing naked in the aftermath of a brutal attack on a couple he had just butchered. Yostin Andres Mosquera was covered in the blood of civil partners Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, who he murdered in July 8 last year in their flat in Shepherd's Bush, west London. He was this week found guilty of killing he men, before decapitating them and dumping their bodies in a suitcase on Clifton Suspension Bridge. Sick Mosquera is seen joyfully dancing around with no clothes on having been captured on a camera set up to record a sex session. The adult entertainer was staying with the couple and tried to access their bank details on their laptop after dismembered the men, stuffing their heads in a freezer and travelling to Bristol to try and get rid of the evidence, a court heard. Woolwich Crown Court heard Mr Alfonso was repeatedly stabbed, suffering injuries to his torso, face and neck, while Mr Longworth was attacked with a hammer to the back of his head and his skull shattered. During a retrial, jurors heard Mr Alfonso enjoyed 'extreme sex' and Mosquera, a Colombian national who did not speak English and whom he met online years earlier, was part of that world, jurors heard. His actions after stabbing Mr Alfonso, including singing and dancing, could have been an outburst as he had been overwhelmed by all that had happened to him, his defence counsel suggested. Mosquera's plan was to hurl the suitcases over the bridge to dispose of the remains after the 'calculated' and 'premeditated' killings, prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said. He admitted killing Mr Alfonso but claims it was manslaughter by reason of loss of control. He had pleaded not guilty to murdering both men and insists Mr Alfonso killed Mr Longworth. He told the jury he feared for his own life and believed he was about to be killed when he stabbed Mr Alfonso. The defendant claims that he thought Mr Alfonso would do to him what he claims he had already done to Mr Longworth, he felt 'intimidated' and threats had been made to his family in Colombia. The court previously heard that computer searches for the phrase 'where on the head is a knock fatal?' were made on the day the two men died. It was suggested that Mosquera made repeated computer searches to find a freezer in the build-up to the killings. Many of the searches were in Spanish, some used Google translate and were also made while Mosquera was the only person in the house, the jury heard. He asked questions about delivery options and several searches were looking for a deep freezer, a chest freezer, a large indoor and outdoor freezer for sale. In the days before the killings the phrase 'hammer killer' was also tapped into the computer. The court also heard that Mosquera had first come to the UK from Colombia in June 2024 on the promise of English lessons and financial support from Mr Alfonso, whom he had met years earlier through webcam sex websites. Detective Chief Inspector Ollie Stride, from the Met's Specialist Crime Command who led this investigation, said: 'This has been one of the most harrowing murders my team have ever investigated, a case that will stay with many of us for a long time. Paul and Albert were murdered in the most brutal and callous of ways in their own home. The investigation has been complex and intense and we worked tirelessly to build a catalogue of evidence which would ensure we brought Mosquera to justice. 'The team have consumed hundreds hours of footage, including some of the utmost disturbing and graphic nature. Those images will stay with all of us for a very long time. We are grateful to all those who helped us build this investigation, including Avon and Somerset Police, who commenced the investigation and arrested Mosquera. "As well as the many witnesses who provided detailed accounts of events which must have been extremely hard to share. We have also worked closely with the LGBT+ Independent Advisory Group and I am grateful for their support and the advice they have provided as they helped monitor the investigation. 'Paul and Albert had known one another for decades. They were in a loving, committed relationship and welcomed Mosquera into their home. They did not deserve to have their lives taken away from them in the most traumatising of circumstances. Our thoughts and prayers remain with Paul and Albert's family and loved ones and all who knew them, as they continue to process the trauma of what happened.'

BREAKING: Man who dumped bodies in suitcases by bridge after murdering couple learns fate
A man accused of killing a couple before decapitating them and dumping their bodies in a suitcase on Clifton Suspension Bridge has been found guilty. Yostin Andres Mosquera was charged with the murders of 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.

'Gangster gran' who got cat a £400 Gucci collar jailed for £80,000,000 drug plot
A family crime mob masterminded by a 65-year-old 'gangster granny' has been jailed for more than 100 years for supplying up to £80 million worth of cocaine. Deborah Mason, dubbed 'Queen Bee', recruited relatives into the 'extraordinarily profitable' operation which saw nearly a tonne of cocaine shipped across the UK between April and November 2023. The couriers, each earning £1,000 a day, collected packages of imported cocaine and drove them all over London, as well as Bradford, Leicester, Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff. Ringleader Mason took photos of wads of cash and bragged of making £90,000 from the plot, while raking in £50,000 in benefits at the same time. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video She spent her profits on designer goods, including a £400 Gucci collar and lead for her cat, and was looking to visit Turkey to have cosmetic surgery. Young mothers who were part of the gang took their young children to pick-ups involving vast quantities of drugs, Woolwich Crown Court heard. Mason, who directed other members of the gang and was in contact with an upstream supplier called Bugsy, was found guilty of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Judge Philip Shorrock told her: 'You were effectively the site foreman working under the direction of a site manager. 'You recruited members of your own family – as a mother you should have been setting an example for your children and not corrupting them.' The judge noted that several of the women have young children but said their involvement in the drug network only 'makes it easier for unscrupulous' dealers to seek to recruit mothers. Earlier, prosecutor Charlotte Hole said: 'All of the offenders participated in a conspiracy which involved the nationwide supply of around a metric tonne of cocaine, collected usually from areas near ports such as Harwich, and delivered across the country to Bristol, Cardiff, Sheffield, Bradford and so on.' She added: 'Everyone involved had an expectation of significant financial advantage, at least £1,000 per trip, and it is one of the most significant parts of the motivation of the conspiracy. 'They all had an awareness of the scale of the operation.' Deborah Mason played a 'leading role' and was 'top of the organisation and provided cocaine for the upstream supplier known as Bugsy'. She took part in 20 trips, delivering 356kg of cocaine, and also made trips to deliver and collect cash. She was in 'close contact' with the upstream supplier using an encrypted app, which had auto-deletion of messages set up, 'designed to keep the operation secret and messages deleted'. Ms Hole said: 'She (Deborah Mason) recruited both her family members – her sister and her children – as well as partners and friends of her children, to a network of at least 10 individuals.' She also organised those who drove for her, staying in phone contact from the early hours to make sure they were up, and checking in on them during the day. She did not use pressure or coercion to woo her family into the gang, as they were 'motivated by financial benefit'. The court heard she was in receipt of in excess of £50,000 per year in benefit income during the conspiracy period, while acting as ringleader and spending lavishly on luxuries. Ms Hole said: '(You) will recollect the messages seen during the trial with reference to her photographing large amounts of cash, and referring to making £90,000 by the end of the year, as well as her lavish spending on designer goods and expressed intention to travel to Turkey to have cosmetic surgery procedures.' When Mason was on holiday in Dubai, her daughter Roeseanne Mason, who made seven trips delivering about 166kg of cocaine, stepped in to the directing role, the court heard. The prosecution said Roeseanne Mason collected cash for her mother and also 'provided childcare so that others could work'. Mother-of-two Demi Bright made a single trip in August 2023 which involved 60kg of cocaine. She took her children with her on the two-day trip, which involved an overnight stay in a hotel. She agreed to deliver more drugs in November 2023 but dropped out. It appears she stepped back from the drug plot after her sister Roeseanne Mason was arrested, 'saying she wanted to go straight but she continued to help her mother in the organisation and was aware of its scale', the court heard. The prosecution said that 'most significantly' she recruited Anita Slaughter to the gang, whom she offered work on a daily basis. Lillie Bright was involved in 20 trips involving 195kg of cocaine. Her partner Chloe Hodgkin, 23, of Wye, Kent, is awaiting the birth of her baby and is to be sentenced at a date to be set. Ms Hole said: 'The two of them took Lillie Bright's son with them, who was two at the time, in a car with cardboard boxes containing kilogrammes of cocaine.' Lillie Bright also had 35g of cocaine she offered for sale, the court heard. Reggie Bright's 12 trips as part of the gang delivered at least 90kg and there were times he collected wages for the group. He usually took trips with his partner, Demi Kendall, 31, telling her 'not to get the hump because we need the money', the court heard. He had been a cocaine user and an addict since his teens and had a brain injury as a result of his misuse. He claimed he did not know where the drugs were coming from, but encrypted messages on the Signal app show this was not true. Ms Hole said: 'He used the Signal alias Frank and was clearly known to, and in direct contact with, the upstream supplier.' Demi Kendall carried out 15 trips involving 98kg of cocaine, and 'often' took her toddler with her in a car. She also recruited her friend, and later, talking about the plot, told her 'you'd get years if u got stopped with the amount that we carry – serious jail time'. Tina Golding made four trips and delivered at least 75kg of cocaine. She collected at least £10,000 in wages. Anita Slaughter took part in a single trip, which amounted to 55kg across four drops, in October 2023. Roseanne Mason, 29, of Canonbury, north London, and Demi Bright, 30, of Ashford, Kent, were each sentenced to 11 years imprisonment. Lillie Bright, 26, of Ashford, Kent, was sentenced to 13 years, and Demi Kendall, 31, of Staplehurst, Kent, was sentenced to 13 years and six months imprisonment. Reggie Bright, 24, of Staplehurst, Kent, was sentenced to 15 years, and Tina Golding, 66, of Ashford, Kent, was jailed for 10 years. Anita Slaughter, 44, of Ashford, Kent, was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment. After sentencing Crown Prosecution Service specialist prosecutor Robert Hutchinson said: 'This was no ordinary family. More Trending 'Instead of nurturing and caring for her relatives, Deborah Mason recruited them to establish an extraordinarily profitable criminal enterprise that would ultimately put them all behind bars.' Met Detective Constable Jack Kraushaar, who led the investigation, described it as 'a sophisticated operation'. He added: 'The group were sucked into criminality, selfishly attracted by the financial benefits of the drug-dealing to fund lavish lifestyles. 'They were unaware we were coming for them and this sentencing should act as a deterrent to those who think about committing this type of crime.'

Columbia porn actor accused of Clifton Suspension Bridge murders tells jury how he cut up victim's body
A Columbia porn actor accused of murdering a couple and dumping their dismembered bodies in suitcases at Clifton Suspension Bridge told a court how he 'cut' the body of one of the victims. Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, knifed Albert Alfonso, 62, repeatedly during sex after he had allegedly bludgeoned his partner Paul Longworth, 71, with a hammer. He then put the dismembered heads in a chest freezer, Woolwich Crown Court heard. Other parts of their bodies were found in two suitcases on Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge on July 10, last year. Mosquera had been staying at the couple's home on Scotts Road, Shepherd's Bush, west London. He had met Mr Alfonso online where the Columbian used the names 'iamblackmaster and 'mrd-k20cm', the court heard. He came to the UK to study English and participate in sex acts and he dominated and degraded Mr Alfonso which the older man made films of which he posted online. Mosquera denies murdering retired handyman Mr Longworth, who he claims was killed by Mr Alfonso. He also denies murdering Mr Alfonso, a swimming instructor, but admits manslaughter. Earlier in his evidence, Mosquera claimed Mr Alfonso cut up Mr Longworth's body after killing him. He said he stabbed Mr Alfonso because he was 'afraid that he would do the same to me that he had done to Paul'. Continuing her cross-examination prosecutor Deanna Heer, KC, asked Mosquera why he stabbed Mr Alfonso in the neck. She said: 'You could have stabbed him in the back.' Mosquera replied: 'I don't know.' Ms Heer said: 'You could have stabbed him in the buttock, couldn't you? Mr Alfonso's back was completely unprotected. 'You're an adult, you know that if you stab someone in the neck it is likely to be very dangerous, do you agree?' Mosquera replied: 'Yes.' Ms Heer asked him: 'And if you keep stabbing someone in the neck you are likely to kill them?' 'Yes,' he agreed. 'The only reason why you would stab someone in the neck in that way is because you wanted to kill them, do you agree?', asked Ms Heer. 'I don't know, I don't remember anything,' said Mosquera. 'I can't be certain of anything.' Mosquera said after seeing Mr Longworth's dismembered body, he decided to do the same to Mr Alfonso's corpse. 'Yes I saw Paul's body and I cut Albert's. I don't know the exact moment but I cut it having seen Paul's body'. Ms Heer told Mosquera: 'You lied to people about what was in the suitcases. You told them the suitcases contained mechanical parts or car parts. And you lied to Mr Cunningham, the cyclist, and the bridge staff'. Mosquera replied: 'Ok.' Ms Heer said: 'You've lied to the jury, haven't you Mr Mosquera, throughout your evidence?' 'No', he replied. Ms Heer said Mosquera had replied no comment when he was interviewed by the police. 'You made no comment so that you could wait and make up a story later, knowing that you had murdered both Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso.' Mosquera insisted that he had been advised by his lawyer to make no comment. 'They just told me to reply no comment,' he said. The trial continues.

Porn actor beat Irishman 13 times with hammer after killing partner during sex, trial told
Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, is accused of murdering couple Albert Alfonso, 62 and Paul Longworth, 71, on 8 July last year. A Colombian porn actor smashed a pensioner over the heard with a hammer at least 13 times before dismembering his body with a power tool and shoving it in a suitcase, a court heard. Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, is accused of murdering couple Albert Alfonso, 62 and Paul Longworth, 71, at their home in London on 8 July last year. Mr Longworth was Irish and Mr Alfonso was originally from France but had obtained British citizenship. Jurors have been shown horrifying footage of Mosquera stabbing Mr Alfonso to death during an extreme sex session at his flat in Scott's Road, Shepherd's Bush, west London. Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth. He is said to have killed Mr Longworth earlier that evening by bludgeoning him repeatedly over the head with a hammer. Cause of death was described as resulting from blunt force trauma to the head. Mosquera caved in his skull by striking it with a hammer on nine different sites. The biggest injury site had been struck 'at least four' times, Woolwich Crown Court heard. As a result of the hammer smashing, Mr Longworth had multiple 'fragmented' fractures, 'some of the bone pieces had been pushed inwards. He then used the power tool to take Mr Longworth's head off and cut the rest of his body up. The remains of the two men were taken to Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol on 10 July. Police officers opened up the large suitcases to find the victims' body parts. One of the suitcases had a tag on it linking them back to an address on Scott's Road in Shepherd's Bush. Officers arrived at the address and found the heads of both Mr Longworth and Mr Alfonso inside a chest freezer. Forensic pathologist Dr Deborah Cook was asked for her conclusions after she performed a postmortem on Mr Longworth. She told the court the cause of death was 'blunt force trauma to the head.' She said: "The formal wording is blunt force trauma to the head, but I can tell you the level of force required is severe. The largest wound was several injuries, so the blows have to be more than nine in number. By the time you have several blows onto an area that is already fractured, you can no longer distinguish one from the next. Inside the skull is in multiple small pieces, and many of those fragments are driven inwards.' Asked by prosecutor Deanna Heer KC how many she thought there were, she said: 'I would say at least four at that site. Ms Heer asked: 'Strikes with what? 'A hammer,' Dr Cook replied. 'When a hammer strikes the head, the shape of the laceration is curved if the force is hard enough and sometimes if it is not used flat on, then one part of the hammer is going in. All the injuries can be accounted for with a hammer.' Mr Longworth was found to have an blood alcohol read of 114mg, above the drink drive limit of 80mg. Dr Cook made it clear that his alcohol level would not have impeded him though and that was clear due to the defence injuries to his hand. She said: 'The type of injuries on the right hand are what we call defence-type injuries. The hand comes up to the head to protect it and the hammer then strikes the hand, causing those injuries. He would not have been incapacitated through alcohol and those defence injuries show he was able to move his hand to protect himself. If he is a regular drinker, he may not have experienced any effects from a blood alcohol level of 114.' Mr Longworth's head was found with the upper set of dentures still in place. He was of a 'reasonably heaby build' and had a 41-inch waist, the pathologist said. He was found to have chronic liver disease, known as cirrhosis, but the exact cause of that could not be confirmed by the pathologist. After he died, Mr Longworth's body was cut up by Mosquera, using a combination of a knife and a power tool, it was said. He was cut across his thyroid cartilage, which in men is the Adam's apple. Dr Cook said: 'That was cut through and then next to that you have your carotid artery, that was cut through. 'Then at the back of the neck you have seven spine bones and the cut went between the fifth and the sixth spine bones in the neck.' Bones in the right arm of Mr Longworth appear to have been snapped rather than cut according to Dr Cook. 'Some sort of tool must have been used but it did not leave any distinctive marks on those left arm bones,' she said. Ms Heer asked: 'What about the right? 'They just appeared snapped so not showing anything that could be linked to a tool,' Dr Cook replied. 'Just at the end of the right radius a tool has been used to start the cutting.' Ms Heer asked: 'So perhaps an attempt to use the tool and then snapping? 'Yes,' she replied. 'The use of the tool must have come before the snapping but I don't think I can say much more than that.' Mr Longworth's leg had been completely 'disarticulated' and appears to have been cut off with a knife and tool. Dr Cook said: 'The skin line at the top of the left was very ragged, it was not one swift movement of a knife, it was several, I can't say how many, but several movements of the knife.' Ms Heer asked: 'What about the bone? 'There was a tool mark cut on the bone,' Dr Cook replied. Mosquera denies the murder of retired handyman Mr Longworth and Mr Alfonso, a swimming instructor. He has admitted the manslaughter of Mr Alfonso.
