Two men whose remains were found in a suitcase on Clifton Suspension Bridge: French national, 62, and his British ex, 71 – as man, 34, who had been staying with them is charged with murder
The two men whose remains were found in Bristol and London last week belong to a British man and his French ex-partner, police have revealed – as a 34-year-old man who had been staying with them is charged with two counts of murder.
Yostin Andres Mosquera, 34, of Scotts Road, west London, will appear in custody later today at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court.
The remains were found in two suitcases dumped near Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol on Wednesday, while further remains were found at an address in Scotts Road on Friday.
Police have today named the two victims as 62-year-old Albert Alfonso and 71-year-old Paul Longworth. Mr Longworth was British and Mr Alfonso was originally from France but had obtained British citizenship.
