Porn actor smashed 71-year-old man’s skull with a hammer ‘at least’ ten times before cutting up body with power tool and stuffing it in a suitcase, court hears

A porn star smashed a 71-year-old man’s skull with a hammer ‘between 10 and 20 times’ before his body was dismembered and stuffed in a suitcase, a court has heard. 

Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, is accused of murdering couple Albert Alfonso, 62 and Paul Longworth, 71, on July 8 last year before their remains were found in a freezer in London and in a suitcase on Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.

Jurors earlier saw horrifying footage of Mosquera stabbing Mr Alfonso to death during an extreme sex session at his flat in Scott’s Road, Shepherd’s Bush, west London.

He is said to have killed Mr Longworth earlier that evening by bludgeoning his head with a hammer.

The 71-year-old’s cause of death was described as resulting from blunt force trauma to the head.

Mosquera caved in his skull by striking him between ten and twenty times with the instrument, jurors heard. He then used the power tool to take Mr Longworth’s head off.

The Old Bailey trial has heard how the remains of the two men were taken to Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol on July 10.

Police officers opened up the large suitcases to find the victims’ body parts.

One of the suitcases had a tag on it linking them back to an address on Scott’s Road in Shepherds Bush.

Officers arrived at the address and found the heads of both Mr Longworth and Mr Alfonso inside a chest freezer.

Forensic pathologist Dr Deborah Cook was asked today to provide jurors with her conclusions after she performed a post-mortem on Mr Longworth.

The doctor said she put down the cause of his death as ‘blunt force trauma to the head’.

She explained: ‘Mr Longworth had sustained several blunt force traumas to his head, with nine areas of injury, more towards the back of the head and more towards the top of the head.’

The largest wound ‘appeared to represent a number of strikes to the same site’, she added.

Jurors heard that the skull fractures suffered by Mr Longworth were ‘consistent with the use of a hammer to strike the head.’

Dr Cook said the 71-year-old would have received ‘at least ten’ blows to the head from the hammer and definitely ‘less than 20’.

Mr Longworth was also found with wounds to the hand that were ‘consistent with defence type injuries’ from using his hand ‘to shield the head to try and ward off the blows.’

Jurors heard that Mr Longworth appeared to have drank alcohol on the night of his death but ‘not a sufficient amount to case any kind of incapacitation at the time of the incident.’

Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC then asked Dr Cook about how Mosquera managed to decapitate Longworth after the alleged murder.

‘In my opinion that involved the use of a sharp knife and use of a tool, or power tool, the nature of the end of the bones is not consistent with the use of a knife’, the doctor said.

‘What is it consistent with?’, asked Ms Heer.

‘Some sort of tool, or power tool, I don’t know.

‘It’s not a hand knife shall we say, you can’t cut through bones in the way bones have been cut through by selecting one of your kitchen knives and doing that.’

Mosquera, of no fixed address, admits one count of manslaughter but denies the murders of both Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth.

The trial continues.
