A porn star is accused of decapitating a couple before stuffing some of their remains in suitcases found at a bridge last summer in England, according to multiple news outlets, which cite prosecutors.
Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, is currently on trial for the July 8, 2024 killings of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, at the pair’s apartment in the Shepherd’s Bush neighborhood of West London, according to BBC and The Guardian. He has reportedly denied the two murder charges.
In court on Wednesday, April 30, prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said that Mosquera claimed he was having “extreme sex” with Alfonso at the time of the alleged attack, which was also captured on video, The Guardian reported. After the attack, prosecutors allege Mosquera recorded a clip of himself singing and dancing, per the outlet.
According to prosecutors, Longworth was attacked first with a hammer to the back of the head, which ultimately broke his skull. As for Alfonso, he died of repeated stab wounds to his face and body, The Guardian reported from the court. Authorities said the pair entered a civil partnership in February 2023, per the outlet.
The court heard that Mosquera, a Colombian national, often visited the U.K. couple and vice versa, and was paid to engage in sex acts with Alfonso, according to The Guardian. Mosquera was also described by prosecutors as a “pornographic performer,” the outlet reported.
Prosecutors allege that on the day of the killings, Mosquera “set about trying to steal” from the couple, noting investigators allegedly found searches on his computer for the value of the pair’s home and Alfonso’s bank login information, The Guardian reported.

Officers arrived at the bridge within 10 minutes, however the man had already departed the area and had left the suitcase behind. A second suitcase was then located nearby soon after, with police later confirming that human remains had been found in the two suitcases.
According to BBC, prosecutors said the suitcases contained Alfonso and Longworth’s decapitated and dismembered bodies.
Further remains were also found at the couple’s home in a chest freezer, an appliance that Mosquera allegedly searched for on Facebook Marketplace prior to the killings, prosecutors said, per The Guardian.
