Court Hears Harrowing Details in Case of Two Men Killed in West London Flat
The trial of a man accused of killing two close friends in their west London home has revealed deeply unsettling details, painting a picture of violence and tragedy that has left loved ones searching for answers.
The victims, Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, had been living together in a flat in Shepherd’s Bush, where their lives were abruptly and brutally ended. Their remains were later found more than a hundred miles away, left in suitcases on the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol—a discovery that has shaken both cities.
In court, forensic experts shared graphic evidence. It was revealed that some body parts had been wrapped in everyday items: a football club towel, a beach towel, a branded t-shirt—ordinary things that now carry an unbearable weight for the families involved. These small, familiar details have made the case all the more disturbing, highlighting the tragic humanity behind the headlines.
Yostin Mosquera, 35, is facing accusations of killing both men. While he has denied the charges of murder, he has admitted responsibility for one death, claiming a sudden loss of control led to the fatal act.
Testimony from a forensic pathologist outlined the shocking violence each man suffered. The court heard that both Albert and Paul fought desperately for their lives, their hands bearing the marks of those final moments.
Police later discovered additional remains back at the flat, stored in a freezer that had not been switched on. In a chilling twist, one of the heads was found wearing a swimming cap and an eye mask.
Prosecutors explained that certain substances, potentially used in the moments leading up to the deaths, may never be fully confirmed due to how quickly they dissipate from the body.
The courtroom has been filled with heartbroken friends and family members, many left haunted by the way their loved ones’ lives were taken and the cold, methodical way in which their remains were treated.
As the trial continues, those who knew Albert and Paul hope that the full truth will come to light and that justice will honour their memory.
