Yostin Mosquera is on the run and everyone is about to find out what’s in those suitcases on Clifton Suspension Bridge. A manhunt is underway. But what brought Mosquera to Bristol - and where is he now?

The police quickly link him to a flat in London. When officers break down the door, they find blood everywhere. On the floors, the walls, the ceilings.

There’s a bloodstained hammer, and a chest freezer in the hallway. Only when officers open that freezer do they truly know what they’re dealing with.

Yostin Mosquera is a killer. He’s got two bodies on his hands and big decisions to make. He books a man-with-a-van saying he needs to move some heavy cargo.

But where is he going and what is he going to do with the bodies? He heads for Bristol – parts of Paul Longworth’s body in a silver trunk, parts of Albert Alfonso’s body in a red suitcase.

He ends up in Clifton, a leafy suburb of Bristol. He makes his way onto the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge where he raises the suspicions of security staff. They’re about to make a terrible discovery.

Exploring the events which led to the murders of Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso's in their west London flat.

While Albert is doing a lifeguard shift in a nearby gym, Columbian porn performer Yostin Mosquera searches the internet for, “Where on the head is a knock fatal?”. Then he takes a hammer to the skull of Paul Longworth.

Once dead, Mosquera puts Paul’s body in storage space under the bed. When Albert returns from work, the pair start filming an extreme sex session.

It turns into a brutal attack by Mosquera on Albert – captured on four cameras in the bedroom.
