A man has been found guilty of murdering two men and dumping their remains in suitcases near Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Yostin Andres Mosqurea, 35, killed civil partners Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, on July 8, 2024, in their flat in Shepherd's Bush, West London.
Mosquera "decapitated and dismembered" the pair, before freezing their remains and dumping them in suitcases near Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, the court heard.
The 35-year-old was also found to have repeatedly stabbed Alfonso, who suffered injuries to his torso, neck and face.

He proceeded to attack Longworth with a hammer, shattering his skull, jurors heard at Woolwich Crown Court.
Jurors were later told that Mosquera sang and danced after killing Alfonso, but claimed it was manslaughter as he lost control.
Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said his plan to launch the suitcases of their remains was "calculated" and "premeditated".
Mosquera pleaded not guilty to the murder of both men and insisted Alfonso killed Longworth.

The jury took five hours and three minutes to find Mosquera unanimously guilty.
The judge, Justice Bennathan KC, said he would sentence Mosquera on October 24.
He stated: "I am not going to pass sentence on you today, although the only one I can pass on you is one of life imprisonment.
"I am going to order a psychiatric report on you. It is in your interests to cooperate with the psychiatrist so that I can decide the minimum term you are going to serve."

Detective Chief Inspector Ollie Stride, from the Met's Specialist Crime Command, who led this investigation, said: "This has been one of the most harrowing murders my team have ever investigated, a case that will stay with many of us for a long time.
"Paul and Albert were murdered in the most brutal and callous of ways in their own home. The investigation has been complex and intense, and we worked tirelessly to build a catalogue of evidence which would ensure we brought Mosquera to justice.
"We are grateful to all those who helped us build this investigation, including Avon and Somerset Police, who commenced the investigation and arrested Mosquera."
Stride said that Scotland Yard's thoughts and prayers are with the victim's family and loved ones as they continue to process through the trauma of what happened.
