A MAN battered his housemate to death with a hammer then killed his lover during sex before dumping their remains in suitcases.
Yostin Andres Mosquera kept the severed heads of Albert Alfonso, 62 and Paul Longworth, 71, in a chest freezer at their home in London, it is said.

The 35-year-old then allegedly dumped the rest of their remains in a suitcase 116 miles away on the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.
Jurors heard Mosquera, a Colombian national, had been staying at the couple’s home in Shepherd’s Bush.
He had met Albert online before coming to the UK to participate in degrading sex acts with the swimming instructor.
These were posted online, with Mosquera described to jurors as a “pornographic performer”.
The Old Bailey was told his partner Paul had no involvement in the extreme sex side of his partner’s life but accepted it.
Leading up to the horror, Mosquera searched for the value of the couple’s home and browsed Facebook marketplace for a chest freezer, it was said.
He also allegedly copied spreadsheets containing Albert’s log in details for his online bank accounts and searched for “serial killers of London” and “Jack the Ripper film”.
On July 8, Mosquera allegedly repeatedly bludgeoned retired handyman Paul in the back of the head with a hammer.
He then went to have sex with Albert, and was caught on camera stabbing him to death, jurors heard.
Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said: “The defendant admits that he killed Albert Alfonso. He could hardly deny it, because the killing took place whilst he and Alfonso were having sex, and the sex and the killing were recorded on film.
“However, although he admits killing Albert Alfonso he denies the offence of murder, admitting only the lesser offence of manslaughter – and he denies that he killed Paul Longworth at all.
“He blames Albert Alfonso for Paul Longworth’s death.
“The prosecution case is that the defendant murdered both men, that he intended to kill them, that his actions were planned and premeditated and, that having killed them, he immediately set about trying to steal from them.”
The court heard on July 10, Douglas Cunningham was cycling home across the Clifton Suspension Bridge when he saw Mosquero stood by a red suitcase and a large silver trunk.
He believed the alleged killer was a tourist so asked if he was okay – causing Mosquera to tell him he was Colombia and that the suitcase contained car parts.
Ms Heer said the cases actually contained the “decapitated and dismembered bodies of Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso”.
Police later discovered the couple’s heads inside the freezer and found Paul’s skull had been shattered.
Albert had suffered multiple wounds to his torso, face and neck and his throat had been cut, it was said.
Jurors were warned they would see the footage of Albert being stabbed to death during sex.
Mosquera, who is being assisted by a Spanish interpreter, denies two counts of murder but admits the manslaughter of Albert.
The trial continues.
