Man who danced naked after murdering couple jailed for 42 years

A man who murdered two people and took their bodies in suitcases to Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 42 years.

Warning: This article contains graphic descriptions of murders. Yostin Andres Mosquera, from Colombia, killed Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth in west London on 8 July last year, carrying out what the judge described as "premeditated and thoroughly wicked crimes".

The 35-year-old was caught when members of the public noticed blood leaking from the cases. He ran away but was caught a few days later.

Mosquera had been flown to London by Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth, who were civil partners he had struck up a friendship with. Mosquera and Mr Alfonso also engaged in extreme sexual acts at the couple's Shepherd's Bush flat.

Mr Longworth, 71, was hit over the head with a hammer, shattering his skull, before his body was stuffed in a divan bed. The same evening, during sex, Mosquera repeatedly stabbed Mr Alfonso, 62, in the neck, torso and face, asking him "Do you like it?" as he struggled and screamed.

The murder was caught on a bedroom camera, which also captured Mosquera singing and dancing as his victim lay dying. Seconds later, he used a computer to try to steal from his victims' bank accounts.

He then decapitated their bodies and put the heads in a freezer that he had delivered the next day. The other remains were put in suitcases, and Mosquera hired a van to take him to Bristol on 10 July, where prosecutors said he planned to throw the remains off the bridge.

When he arrived, people at a pub saw him struggling with the luggage, which he said contained car parts, and offered to drive him over the bridge. 'Is there a body in there?' They struggled to lift the cases into the car, joking: "God, these are heavy, is there a body in there?.
