Yostin Mosquera, 35, murdered Paul Longworth, 71, and Albert Alfonso, 62, while staying at their flat in Shepherd's Bush, London, on 8 July 2024.

The judge, Mr Justice Bennathan, told the jurors at Woolwich Crown Court they had witnessed "terrible, brutal events" in footage shown to them during the trial. He ordered a psychiatric report for Mosquera and set a sentencing date of 24 October.Yostin Mosquera brutally attacked Albert Alfonso (C) and Paul Longworth (R)
It took the jury just over five hours to return the two guilty verdicts.
Mr Alfonso enjoyed "extreme sex" and Mosquera, a Colombian national whom he had first spoken to online in 2012, was part of that world, jurors were told.
The Colombian met the two men when he travelled to London to visit them in 2023, in the same year Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth became civil partners.
Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth later split up but remained close friends.
When Mosquera was invited to London for a second time, he stabbed Mr Alfonso to death during a filmed sex session.
Footage shown in court showed Mosquera singing and dancing in the aftermath of the attack.
He had killed Mr Longworth with a hammer earlier the same day, shattering his skull, and hid the body in a divan bed in the apartment.
Mosquera made a plan to dispose of the remains after the "calculated" and "premeditated" killings by throwing the suitcases off Clifton Suspension Bridge, the prosecution said.
But he was said to have misjudged his own strength, instead dumping the suitcases on the bridge.Paul Longworth (L) and Albert Alfonso became civil partners in 2023 but later split upSpeaking to the jurors, Mr Justice Bennathan said: "We put serious demands on jurors, in this case more than most.
"It went on much longer than the two weeks you were expecting. In this case you have had to look at a very tough video.
"They were terrible, brutal events and to read about it is a dreadful thing, but to see it is really shocking.
"If you do want to seek help then speak to the court staff – above all, thank you."
Det Ch Insp Ollie Stride, from the Metropolitan Police, said Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth "were best friends".
"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," he said.
"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.
"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."

Medical Malpractice Lawyer: When You May Have a Case
Patients trust doctors and hospitals to provide safe care. When medical mistakes cause serious harm, a medical malpractice lawyer may help the patient pursue compensation.
Medical malpractice may involve misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, anesthesia mistakes, birth injuries, medication errors, infections, or failure to treat.
What Must Be Proven
Not every bad medical outcome is malpractice. A case usually requires proof that a healthcare provider failed to meet the accepted standard of care and caused injury.
A hospital negligence attorney can review records, consult medical experts, and determine whether negligence may have occurred.
Compensation in Medical Malpractice Cases
Compensation may include medical bills, future care, lost income, disability, pain and suffering, and reduced quality of life. Severe injury cases may have higher settlement value because of long-term medical needs.
Conclusion
Medical malpractice cases are complex and require strong evidence. If you believe a medical mistake caused serious harm, legal guidance may help.
Understanding Liability in Commercial Truck Accident Cases
Determining liability in truck accident cases is often more complicated than in typical vehicle collisions. Multiple parties may be responsible, including the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle manufacturer, or maintenance provider. A truck collision attorney conducts a thorough investigation to identify all liable parties and hold them accountable.
Federal and state regulations governing the trucking industry add another layer of complexity. Violations such as driver fatigue, improper cargo loading, or lack of maintenance can significantly impact a case. By leveraging their knowledge of these laws, truck accident lawyers build strong claims that increase the chances of securing full and fair compensation for victims.
