A man who murdered two men before dumping their remains in suitcases by the Clifton Suspension Bridge has pleaded guilty to three new charges ahead of his sentencing this afternoon (Friday, October 24).
Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, appearing at Woolwich Crown Court, will be sentenced for the murders of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, on July 8, 2024, in their flat in Scotts Road, Shepherd’s Bush, west London, later today.
Ahead of sentencing, three counts of possessing indecent photographs, or pseudo-photographs, of children were put to Mosquera, who pleaded guilty to all three.
Mr Justice Bennathan jailed Mosquera for 16 months after the convicted double murderer admitted possessing 1,500 category A images, 750 category B images and 4,000 category C images.
The images and videos showed very young children who were subjected to a variety of sexual abuse of horrifying detail and nature.
Mr Bennathan said: “After you were arrested your laptop and other devices were seized.
“They were examined and in it were found at least 1,500 category A indecent photographs or pseudo-photographs, some of them moving images of children.
“They were very young children being subjected to a variety of sexual abuse really of horrifying detail and nature.”
The jail sentence will run concurrent to Mosquera’s sentence for the murders of Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth.
Mosquera was found guilty of both murders in July 2025, a year on from the attacks.
He repeatedly stabbed Mr Alfonso, who suffered injuries to his torso, face and neck, while Mr Longworth was attacked with a hammer on the back of his head and his skull was shattered.
Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC told the court Mosquera’s plan had been to throw the suitcases off the bridge to dispose of the remains after the “calculated” and “premeditated” killings.
On July 10, Mosquera was driven to Bristol, and told a cyclist who spotted him on the bridge with a large red suitcase and a silver trunk that they contained car parts.
Bridge staff noticed something appeared to be leaking from the red suitcase, which Mosquera told them was oil. When they shone their torches on the suitcases, he fled.
He admitted killing Mr Alfonso, but claimed it was manslaughter by reason of loss of control. He pleaded not guilty to murdering both men, and claimed Mr Alfonso killed Mr Longworth.
