A man accused of killing two people and dumping their remains in suitcases near the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of one of the victims, but denied the murders.
Yostin Andres Mosquera is charged with the murders of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, on or before July 11 last year in the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
The 35-year-old Columbian national admitted the manslaughter of Mr Alfonso during a hearing at the Old Bailey on Tuesday, but denies both charges of murder.

Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said the prosecution does not accept the plea and Mosquera will still face trial over both alleged murders.
Mosquera was arrested on July 13, days after police were alerted to a man acting suspicious on Clifton Suspension Bridge, where they discovered the remains of the men in two suitcases.
Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth were previously in a relationship but still lived together at a flat in Shepherd’s Bush for a short period.
Mr Longworth was British and Mr Alfonso was originally from France but had obtained British citizenship.
