Yostin Andres Mosquera was convicted at Woolwich Crown Court of the murders of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, on 8 July last year in the flat the civil partners shared in Scotts Road in Shepherd's Bush, west London.

Mosquera repeatedly stabbed Alfonso, who sustained injuries to his torso, face, and neck, while Longworth was attacked with a hammer to the back of his head and his "skull shattered," the court heard.

Two days later, at about 11.30pm, Mosquera, 35, travelled to Bristol in an attempt to dispose of some of the body parts, which were in two suitcases, by throwing them from Clifton Suspension Bridge, the jury was told.
