A porn actor is currently facing trial at the Old Bailey for the murder of two men including one who worked as a swimming coach at an Acton gym.
35-year-old Yostin Mosquera, a Colombian national, is accused of killing Albert Alfonso, who was employed by the Mode Club on Bromyard Avenue, as well as Paul Longworth, at their Shepherd’s Bush flat at 9 Scotts Road on 8 July 2024. It is then alleged that he cut up their bodies before putting the parts in two suitcases and the attempting to dump them off the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.
The prosecution says, Mosquera, killed the two men in an attempt to gain access to their savings and get money by selling their home. He had been staying at the flat and was in a paid sexual relationship with Mr Alfonso.
Although his long-term relationship with retired handyman Mr Longworth was described as ‘happy and loving’, Mr Alfonso had a predilection for extreme sex and posted videos of himself being dominated by other men to online porn sites. He is believed to have encountered Mosquera, who had been a porn actor since 2017, through these activities and invited him to the UK to visit. They remained in touch after Mosquera returned to Colombia and then Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth travelled to South American where pictures posted online suggest they met with Mosquera. Then in June 2024, Mosquera came to stay with the couple and Mr Alfonso got him guest membership of the Mode Club and signed him up to play five-a-side football in the area.
The prosecution alleges that Mosquera had already started to plan to kill the couple and that his search history showed he was looking at house prices and ways to poison people and dispose of bodies.

It is alleged that he bludgeoned 71-year-old Mr Longworth to death with a hammer and then hid the body. The police believe this killing took place between 12:30pm and 1pm. Shortly before this time Mosquera was observed closing the curtains in the flat. When Mr Alfonso returned that evening, they engaged in sex during which Mosquera cut the throat of 62-year-old Mr Alfonso with a knife with the act being caught on camera. The video, which was played to the jury at the trial shows Mosquera naked, singing and dancing by the body of Mr Alfonso, which was still twitching, and then walking over to his computer to access his financial details. Both victims were then decapitated before being dismembered and body parts placed in suitcases with the heads and hands left in a chest freezer.
Mosquera messaged Mr Alfonso’s manager at the Mode Club the morning after the killing from the victim’s phone to say that he travelling to Costa Rica due to a family emergency and wouldn’t be back for around eight weeks.

Two days later on 10 July Mosquera hired a ‘man with a van’ to drive him and the two suitcases to Bristol and then took them by taxi to the bridge. However, he was unable to lift them over the side to throw them into the river below. While he was wheeling them along passersby spotted blood leaking from them which he claimed was oil from car parts in the suit case. When challenged he abandoned them both and ran away. The police were called and they discovered the body parts as well as the Scotts Road address on the label of one of the suitcases. Mosquera was arrested at Bristol Temple Meads train station a few days later wearing a t-shirt which analysis showed had Mr Alfonso’s blood on it.
Mosquera has admitted to the manslaughter of Mr Alfonso but accuses him of killing Mr Longworth. The trial continues.
