A man has been sentenced to life with a minimum term of 42 years for killing two men and leaving their remains in suitcases near Clifton Suspension Bridge.
35-year-old Yostin Mosquera killed civil partners Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth in their flat in Shepherd's Bush, London, in July 2024.
Mosquera, who was also staying with the couple, "decapitated and dismembered" them, froze parts of their remains and brought the rest in suitcases to Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, according to the prosecution.
Mosquera's plan was to hurl the suitcases over the bridge to dispose of the remains after the "calculated" and "premeditated" killings, prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said.
Mosquera admitted killing Mr Alfonso but claimed it was manslaughter by reason of loss of control.
He pleaded not guilty to murdering both men and insisted Mr Alfonso killed Mr Longworth.
A jury at Woolwich Crown Court unanimously found Mosquera guilty.
It comes after Mosquera was earlier jailed for 16 months for possessing "horrifying" indecent images and videos of children.
Three new charges were put to him before the expected sentencing, and Mosquera, who wore what appeared to be a wooden crucifix necklace and sat in the dock assisted by a Spanish interpreter, pleaded guilty to three counts of possessing indecent photographs or pseudo-photographs of children.
Mr Justice Bennathan told the court that "unlawful child porn" was found on Mosquera's laptop.
He jailed the bearded defendant for 16 months, telling him: "After you were arrested your laptop and other devices were seized.
"They were examined and in it were found at least 1,500 category A indecent photographs or pseudo-photographs, some of them moving images of children.
"They were very young children being subjected to a variety of sexual abuse really of horrifying detail and nature."
Mosquera also possessed at least 750 category B images and no less than 4,000 category C images, and was found to have been a member of online chatgroups where indecent images were shared.
The judge said the jail term for those offences will run concurrent to the sentence for the murders of Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth.
