In a chilling development that has sent shockwaves through Bristol, harrowing CCTV footage has emerged showing the moment a double murderer arrived at the city's iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge carrying suitcases containing his victims' remains.
The video evidence captures 34-year-old Colombian national Yostin Andres Mosquera arriving at the bridge in the early hours of July 11th, casually wheeling two large suitcases that contained the bodies of 62-year-old Albert Alfonso and 71-year-old Paul Longworth.
The Gruesome Discovery
Police were alerted to the horrifying scene after reports of a man behaving suspiciously near the world-famous landmark. Officers arrived to find the suitcases abandoned, their grim contents revealing a brutal double murder that would trigger a major police investigation.
Detective Superintendent Gary Haskins of Avon and Somerset Police described the incident as "truly horrifying," stating that the footage shows Mosquera "calmly arriving with the suitcases before making his escape."
International Manhunt and Arrest
Following the grim discovery, authorities launched an extensive manhunt that spanned multiple counties. The breakthrough came when police tracked Mosquera to a railway station in the London area, where he was apprehended without incident.
Mosquera, who resides in Newham, east London, has since been charged with two counts of murder and remains in custody awaiting trial.
Victims Remembered
The two victims, both residents of west London, were described as beloved members of their community. Friends and family have been left devastated by the brutal nature of their deaths, with tributes pouring in for both men.
Police have confirmed they are not seeking anyone else in connection with the murders but continue to appeal for information from the public regarding the circumstances leading up to the killings.
Community in Shock
The incident has left the Bristol community reeling, with local residents expressing shock that such a brutal crime could occur in their city. The Clifton Suspension Bridge, normally a symbol of Bristol's engineering heritage, has become the centre of a murder investigation that has captured national attention.
As the case prepares to go to trial, authorities have emphasised their commitment to ensuring justice for the victims and their families while the community struggles to come to terms with the horrific events that unfolded on their doorstep.
