The man accused of killing a couple in their home was filmed "singing and dancing" moments after fatally stabbing one of them, a court has heard.

Yostin Mosquera, 35, recorded himself having sex with Albert Alfonso, 62, before stabbing him to death, having earlier killed Paul Longworth, 71, with a hammer, a jury at Woolwich Crown Court was told.

Mr Mosquera has denied murdering both men on 8 July 2024. He has admitted the manslaughter of Mr Longworth by way of loss of self-control.

On Wednesday, jurors were shown footage that prosecutors said captured the moment Mr Mosquera fatally stabbed Mr Alfonso while the two were having sex.

The court heard on Tuesday that Mr Alfonso had enjoyed "extreme sex" and had met Mr Mosquera through a porn site. Mr Longworth, the prosecution said, had known about this but had "nothing to do with it".

Four cameras - a tablet attached to a ceiling fan, a webcam under a desk, a camera at the foot of the bed and a tablet beside the bed - were used to record sex sessions between Mr Mosquera and Mr Alfonso, the court was told.

'You likey?'

Mr Mosquera was heard in the clip saying to Mr Alfonso "you likey?" after he stabbed him, prosecution barrister Deanna Heer KC told jurors on Wednesday.

Moments after Mr Alfonso "becomes limp", and the footage showed Mr Mosquera then "singing and dancing" while stepping towards a desktop computer in the room, Ms Heer said.

The court was told Mr Mosquera later started to clean the floor using water from a kettle.

Further footage shows Mr Mosquera taking delivery of a freezer he had purchased on Facebook Marketplace on 9 July.

Giving evidence PC Nick Swire, from the Metropolitan Police's major investigations unit, presented CCTV showing Mr Mosquera meeting a red van outside the couple's home - the man-with-a-van who had been booked to take him to Bristol.

CCTV showed Mr Mosquera loading two large suitcases into the van that he later took to Bristol, the court was told.

Footage from CCTV in Bristol showed the cases being unloaded outside of The Mall pub in Clifton.

The trial continues.
