Bristol: In a call made to UK emergency number 999, the caller can be heard saying 'we're convinced it's blood' after a killer brought suitcases containing parts of the dismembered bodies of two men to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, was found guilty of murdering civil partners Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, after an unsettling discovery at the bridge.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mosquera killed the couple on July 8 last year in their flat in Scotts Road, Shepherd's Bush, west London. He was staying with them at the time. After the murders, he decapitated and dismembered the victims, freezing parts of their remains and transporting the rest in suitcases to the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.
A jury at Woolwich Crown Court delivered a guilty verdict for Mosquera on charges of murder. The incident came to light when Avon and Somerset Police were summoned to the Bristol landmark just before midnight on July 10 last year. Bridge staff had been attending to a woman in crisis when they noticed Mosquera with two heavy suitcases on the Leigh Woods side of the bridge.
Mosquera initially told the staff that the suitcases, one red and one silver, contained car parts and that the liquid dripping from them was oil. However, a cyclist who witnessed the scene challenged Mosquera and chased him down a hill while filming the encounter.
The 999 call, which has since been released, features the caller expressing urgent need for police assistance. The caller described Mosquera as dragging a case behind him and mentioned that he did not speak English, prompting a bilingual bystander to offer help. Mosquera claimed the suitcase held car parts, yet the caller observed what appeared to be blood leaking from it.
The caller further detailed how Mosquera retrieved a second suitcase and then fled the scene, with a member of the public in pursuit. Despite suggestions to open the case, Mosquera refused, even sitting on it at one point.
Police officers responded to the scene and, upon opening the suitcases, discovered the torsos and limbs of Alfonso and Longworth. The caller provided a description of Mosquera to emergency services, contributing to his eventual apprehension and conviction.
