Suspect under investigation for homicide reportedly inquired "do you like it?" during the course of stabbing a victim, as depicted in presented trial footage.
Rewritten Article:
In a chilling turn of events, a London courtroom was treated to a grisly video showing a suspected murderer casually asking one of his victims if they found the killing enjoyable.
Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, stands accused of brutally slaying Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, in their shared flat in west London last July. Mosquera is alleged to have then transported their dismembered remains to the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol and dumped them in suitcases.
Content Warning: The following details may be upsetting to some readers.
Jurors at the Old Bailey watched the chilling footage, which features the sounds of a struggle for breath. The scene inside a bedroom in Shepherd's Bush (located in west *London*) depicts the two victims, both naked, engaged in a frenzied struggle. Mosquera, caught on camera, is seen executing a series of violent stabs to Alfonso's torso and chest.
Detective Constable Nick Swire described the attack: "Mosquera applies a knife to Mr Alfonso," he reported, before recounting the "frantic stabbing." Alfonso's body then goes slack, losing consciousness, and the video ends with him lying on the ground, bleeding profusely from the neck.
Mosquera has confessed to the manslaughter of Alfonso, claiming he acted out of loss of self-control. However, prosecutors assert that he was, in fact, in complete control throughout the entire ordeal.
Two days after the killings, a separate video captures Mosquera dragging a heavy red suitcase across the Clifton Suspension Bridge, near Bristol, at about 11:23 PM. Two staff members approached him, but were called away before he could engage with them. A cyclist also encountered Mosquera and expressed concern, thinking him to be a lost tourist. The witness also noticed a large silver trunk nearby, which Mosquera claimed contained car parts.
However, according to prosecutor Deanna Heer KC, the trunk contained the dismembered and decapitated remains of Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso, which Mosquera had brought from their London residence. The prosecution alleges that Mosquera intended to dispose of the bodies in Bristol but, after being approached by the staff and the cyclist, he abandoned the cases and fled.
Police later searched the Shepherd's Bush flat after discovering the cases, where they uncovered the victims' decapitated heads and other remains stored in a chest freezer.
