Mosquera, who was living with the couple, then “cut and dismembered” them, froze parts of their remains, and stuffed the rest in a suitcase and took them to the bridge.
A jury at Woolwich Crown Court unanimously found Mosquera guilty of both murders. Imposing two life sentences for the two murders, Mr Justice Bennathan told the defendant: “Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso were a settled, affectionate couple. It was their tragedy that you, Yostin Mosquera, came into their lives.”
On Friday the judge jailed Mosquera for 16 months after he admitted possessing at least 1,500 category-A images or pseudonymous images of children, including videos, 750 category-B images and 4,000 category-C images.
At his sentencing on Friday, Mosquera was also jailed for 16 months for possessing at least 1,500 “horrific” indecent images and videos of children.
The court heard that Alfonso enjoyed extreme sex, and that he had met Mosquera, who was part of that world, a few years earlier. Alfonso was stabbed during a filmed session, in which footage played in court showed Mosquera asking “Do you like it?” And also singing and dancing after the attack.
A few seconds later, the killer moved to the computer to try to steal from his victims’ bank accounts. Jurors heard Mosquera had attempted to open a bank account using the Scotts Road address. Shortly after the murders, he accessed a spreadsheet of financial passwords and attempted to log into the couple’s bank accounts. He tried unsuccessfully to send £4,000 to his account in Colombia.
Prosecutor Deanna Heer Casey told the court that Mosquera’s plan was to throw the suitcase off the bridge to dispose of the remains after the “well-planned” and “premeditated” murders.
Mosquera admitted to killing Alfonso, but claimed it was manslaughter due to loss of control. He pleaded not guilty to murder of the two men and claimed that Alfonso had murdered Longworth.
Mosquera told the jury that he feared for his life and believed he was going to be killed when he attacked Alfonso with the knife. He said he felt threatened and that his family in Colombia had been threatened.

On 10 July, Mosquera was taken to Bristol, and told by a cyclist who had seen him on a bridge with a large red suitcase and a silver trunk that they contained car parts. Bridge workers noticed something leaking from the red suitcase, which Mosquera told them was oil. When they shined their torches on the suitcase, it ran away.
The court heard that Mosquera, who does not speak English, repeatedly searched the computer to find the freezer before the murders. Many of the searches were in Spanish, some done using Google Translate, and they were done while Mosquera was the only person in the house.
They asked questions about delivery options, and a deep freezer, a chest freezer, a large indoor freezer, and an outdoor freezer were discovered.
In the days before the murders, the phrase “Hammer Killer” was tapped into a computer, the jury heard.
