An alleged killer took a zip wire day trip to Brighton with an elderly couple before killing them, a court heard.

Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, is accused of killing Albert Alfonso, 62, on camera after striking Albert’s partner, Paul Longworth, 71, with a hammer. 

Mosquera is alleged to have attacked the couple in their flat in Scotts Road, Shepherd’s Bush, west London, on July 8 last year.

He then wheeled their dismembered heads in a suitcase before putting them in a chest freezer, jurors heard.

Other parts of their bodies were found in two suitcases on Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge two days later.

Mosquera denies murdering Albert, a swimming instructor, but admits to manslaughter. He denies murdering Paul, a retired handyman, Woolwich Crown Court heard.

Mosquera, a porn star living in Colombia, met Albert online in 2023 while using usernames such as ‘iamblackmaster’ and ‘mrd-k20cm’.

He flew from Colombia to Heathrow on June 6 to participate in sex acts with Albert, who picked him up at the airport, the court was told.

On June 29, CCTV captured Mosquera, Albert and Paul leaving their flat to go on a day trip to Brighton.

Jurors were shown a video of Mosquera going down a zip wire across the beach. The clip, filmed by the zip wire company, was set to piano music.

Less than two weeks later, on July 8, Alfonso was seen on a security camera leaving the flat at 9.14am on his bike to cycle to the West Acton gym where he worked.

He returned to the flat sometime before 1pm, according to the footage reviewed by police.

The court heard earlier that ‘the killing took place while he and Mr Alfonso were having sex and the sex and the killing were recorded on film’, said Deanna Heer KC, prosecuting.

Albert was killed at about 10.15pm in his living room, the court heard. The video showed the defendant ‘cutting’ Albert’s throat.

Ms Heer said: ‘What is striking, the prosecution say, when you watch the footage, is just how calm and in control the defendant remains throughout.’

The prosecutor told jurors that the defendant set about ‘dismembering them’ before ‘transferring some of their remains to Bristol in an attempt, the prosecution say, to dispose of them at the Clifton Suspension Bridge’.

Mosquera travelled to Bristol on July 10 holding a red suitcase and, when a cyclist questioned what was inside it, he said it contained car parts.

Ms Heer said: ‘That was a lie. In fact, the suitcases contained the decapitated and dismembered bodies of Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso.’

Police discovered the severed heads in a chest freezer in the couple’s flat. Mosquera was arrested on July 13, found sitting on a bench outside Bristol Temple Meads railway station.

The trial continues.
