Man accused of killing gay couple tells court one of his victims ‘raped him every day’

A man accused of murdering a gay couple and cutting them up has claimed he was ‘raped every day’ by one of his victims.

Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, a Columbian migrant is on trial following the deaths of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, at their flat in Shepherd’s Bush, west London, on July 8 last year.

Mosquera is alleged to have repeatedly stabbed Mr Alfonso, who suffered injuries to his torso, face, and neck, while Mr Longworth was attacked with a hammer to the back of his head and his skull.

It is claimed the 35-year-old then travelled to the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol with some of the victims’ body parts.

Under cross-examination on Monday, Mosquera claimed Mr Alfonso had ‘raped him every day’ and that left him feeling ‘sad’ but not angry.

Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said Mosquera was planning to steal money from the two men and had ‘made up’ a claim of rape against Mr Alfonso.

Speaking through a translator, Mosquera, who was involved in filmed s3x sessions with Mr Alfonso, told the court: ‘I felt sad. I never felt anger. I do not get angry with anybody.’

Mosquera had first come to the UK from Colombia in June 2024 on the promise of English lessons and financial support from Mr Alfonso, whom he had met years earlier through webcam s3x websites.

Of the alleged s3x assaults, Mosquera told the court: ‘I felt humiliated, sad, trapped – I never tend to get to anger.’

“The alleged r@pes sometimes ‘would happen so quickly because [Mr Alfonso] would drink beer and not be aware of what was happening’. he added

He also claimed there were times when Mr Alfonso was ‘out of control’.

Ms Heer took Mosquera to his ‘detailed’ defence statement produced for the trial and said ‘there is no mention of Albert Alfonso raping you’.

She told Mosquera: ‘Albert Alfonso insisted the defendant and he would make a number of s£x videos and you did not feel you had any option, you felt s3xually exploited.

‘You were aware that Mr Alfonso was making money out of posting videos of your s3xual activity and that made you feel even more exploited – but you do not mention at all Mr Mosquera, that Mr Alfonso was r@ping you every day.

‘Is that because you are making it up?’

Mosquera replied: ‘No.’

Mosquera admits killing Mr Alfonso but claims it was manslaughter by reason of loss of control.

He denies murdering either man and insists Mr Alfonso killed Mr Longworth.

Both Mr Alfonso’s and Mr Longworth’s remains were later found in a suitcase near Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.

Within minutes of killing Mr Alfonso, Mosquera was online and trying to look at the man’s bank account, the court heard.

Then in the early hours of the morning, Mosquera took Mr Alfonso’s bank card and walked to the cashpoint and withdrew money.

Mosquera said: ‘In the beginning I did not know where I was going to take the suitcases. I was going to go to Brighton.’

Ms Heer said: ‘You decided to take money from Mr Alfonso after you k!lled him.’

Mosquera said: ‘Yes, because he was supposed to give me money before but he was not able to. He was supposed to give me money to go to Brighton.’

The prosecution also said Mosquera had got hold of Mr Alfonso’s financial information.

Ms. Heer said: ‘You copied over pages from spreadsheets containing Mr Alfonso’s bank account details, user names and id’s, passwords – relating to Barclays, Halifax, Natwest, Moneygram, PayPal account – all of that information you copied on to your computer on June 27.’

Ms Heer continued: ‘The purpose of taking this document was because you wanted to steal money from Mr Alfonso.’

Mosquera replied ‘no’, saying he moved ‘many documents, not just that one’ and he sometimes cleared space on Mr. Alfonso’s computer.

Ms Heer said that by July 4, Mosquera had access to all of Mr. Alfonso’s and Mr Longworth’s bank details.

The court heard Mosquera also made a search for buildings for sale in his hometown of Medellin, Colombia.

Mosquera said: ‘I was always searching for these things. When I am in Colombia – how much building cost and cars. I even looked up how much Liverpool Football Club cost, because I am a fan.’

Searches on his computer brought up the value of the Scotts Road flat shared by the victims, including one on July 8 at 8.30am, the jury heard.

Mosquera said the search was done out of ‘curiosity like always’ and that this information would come up when you put the address into the computer but he was not looking for properties to rent or sell.

Ms Heer told him: ‘You were planning to steal from Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth and you were trying to find out what they were worth.’

Mosquera replied: ‘No, if I wanted to do that I would have done this in Medellin in my own country. Why would I look for something I do not know.’

The trial continues.
