Double Murderer Convicted of Brutal Killings

London-based pornographic performer Yostin Mosquera has been found guilty of murdering a couple, Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) rejected Mosquera's plea to manslaughter due to a loss of self-control and instead pushed for a trial to prove his involvement in the planned and premeditated attack. Prosecutors pieced together witness statements, CCTV footage, digital evidence, and forensic evidence to build a comprehensive timeline that revealed Mosquera's financial motivation for the murders.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mosquera, 35, was found guilty of murdering Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso on July 21, 2025, at Woolwich Crown Court.
  • He admitted to manslaughter in relation to Mr. Alfonso but denied murdering Mr. Longworth, claiming that it was Mr. Alfonso who had killed Mr. Longworth.
  • Prosecutors rejected his version of events and pushed ahead with a trial to prove that Mosquera had murdered both victims in a planned and premeditated attack.
  • CCTV and employment records proved that Mr. Alfonso was at work when Mr. Longworth was brutally murdered, and Mosquera's search history on his laptop showed that he was looking to purchase a chest freezer even before committing his first savage killing.
  • The examination of Mosquera's laptop by digital forensic experts showed that he was researching how to kill someone with a fatal injury while Mr. Longworth was still alive and able to chat with a neighbor from his flat window.
  • Mosquera was seen on Clifton Suspension Bridge acting strangely with two large suitcases, one of which was leaking blood, and he ran away when challenged by a member of the public.
  • Police found the gruesome discovery of body parts contained within the cases, which led them to Mr. Longworth's and Mr. Alfonso's flat in Shepherd's Bush, London, where they found their decapitated heads and remaining body parts stored in a chest freezer.

  • 2 counts of murder were charged against Mosquera.
  • 13 July was the day Mosquera was arrested outside Bristol Temple Meads Station.
  • PS4000 was the amount Mosquera attempted to transfer from his bank account into his own after Mr. Alfonso's killing.
