A man accused of murdering a London couple and chopping up their bodies before putting them into suitcases has been witnessed dancing and singing moments after he allegedly murdered them.

Yostin Andres Mosquera, a 35-year-old from Colombia, was first arrested by police last year after a cyclist spotted him engaging in some suspicious activity on the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.

Although he told the cyclist that he was carrying car parts in the two suitcases he was carrying, prosecutors claim it was the decapitated parts of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, which he planned to dump from the bridge.

After police were informed, they discovered their severed heads back in their London flat, where they had invited Mosquera on a number of occasions after they became close, with the South American regularly engaging in sex with Alfonso in exchange for money.

Mosquera is currently on trial in the capital and is facing a double murder charge, but so far he has only admitted the manslaughter of Alfonso.

As part of the prosecutor's evidence against Mosquera, the jurors were shown a harrowing video of the Colombian singing and dancing, before he allegedly dismembered their bodies amid reported plans to steal money from their bank accounts.

In advance of the film being shown, the judge Mr Justice Bennathan warned the jury: "It is not an easy watch."

Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC described the killing as 'obviously a violent assault', before adding: "What is striking when one looks at the footage is just how calm and just how in control Mosquera remains throughout.

"Indeed, so unconcerned does he appear by what he has just done that, as Alfonso lies on the floor dying, the defendant starts singing and breaks into a dance."

She then describes how the defendant proceeded to use Alfonso's computer in order to gain access to his finances, when he attempted to send £4,000 to his own account in Colombia, and successfully withdrew £900 before the card started getting declined.

Mosquera also reportedly texted Alfonso's manager from the victim's phone explaining that he (Alfonso) would be travelling to Costa Rica for eight weeks following a family emergency.

Despite this, the defendant has made it clear to the court that he blames Alfonso for the death of Longworth, who had entered into a civil partnership with the former in 2023 and reportedly knew about his partner's inclination for violent sex, but never took part in it.

The trial continues.
