Yostin Mosquera is jailed for at least 40 years after murdering two men and dumping their remains in suitcases
He was found guilty in July of murdering Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso in London, before taking their remains to the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol
Sentencing the Colombian national, Mr Justice Bennathan says the weapons used - a hammer and knife - were in the victims' flat already, which counts as "significant planning, but not substantial"
The judge also calls Mosquera an "odd man", saying he's "capable of being charming" but "tells lies"
Alfonso had met Mosquera online - the pair shared an interest in "extreme sex", jurors were told during the trial
Separately, Mosquera is also sentenced to 16 months in jail for possession of indecent images of children - he'll serve the two sentences concurrently
Earlier, during mitigation from Mosquera's barrister, the court heard that pre-sentence reports on him contained an account that he had witnessed children being killed in his hometown when he was young.
A doctor “cautiously expressed the view that that might have brutalised him”.

Paul Longworth, 71, was a retired handyman who was described in court as a "typical Irish bloke".
His friends and neighbours remembered him as an extremely kind man and someone who would "never do anybody any harm".
Police said Mr Longworth and Albert Alfonso had lived with each other for 20 years and entered into a civil partnership in 2023.
Despite later breaking up, they remained best friends and continued to live together.
The court heard Mr Longworth was dyslexic and relied on Mr Alfonso.
Mr Longworth was not involved in Mr Alfonso's extreme sex life, although he "knew about it and accepted it", the court was told.

Described by those who knew him as funny, authoritative and motivated, Mr Alfonso grew up in France before moving to the UK to manage hotels.
Throughout the trial, the court heard Mr Alfonso frequently paid for, participated in and shared videos online which featured extreme sex. This was how he and Mosquera came to know each other.

Yostin Mosquera, 35, is a Colombian national who lived in Medellín, the second biggest city in the South American country.
During his trial, the court was told Mosquera has two children and a female partner.
The court was told he served in the military in Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia, and only left the country twice. Both times were to visit Mr Alfonso, who paid for Mosquera's travel expenses.
Mosquera posted many videos of himself online performing sex acts under various pseudonyms. He received money for those videos from customers including Mr Alfonso.

Det Insp Meade said Mosquera could have staged "the perfect murder"
For the two leading detectives on the case, they admit to remaining puzzled by many unanswered questions - including why Mosquera took the dismembered bodies to Bristol.
"[It's] one of the things I've never been able to get to the bottom of," Det Ch Insp Ollie Stride, from the Metropolitan Police, said.
Senior investigating officer for Avon and Somerset Police's major crime team Det Insp Neil Meade also asks why Mosquera "exposed himself" to being caught, when he could have booked a plane ticket back to Colombia.
"I am confident that we would have identified pretty quickly who our suspect was, but then you've got a suspect that's in Colombia which would take years to get him extradited back to the UK - if ever.
"He could have committed almost the perfect murder.
"He didn't need to dismember them, he didn't need to take them to Bristol," Det Insp Meade added.
Bodies in the Suitcases: Man guilty of double murder
The court has risen for an extended break over lunch, during which Mr Justice Bennathan will consider Mosquera's sentence.
Proceedings will start again at 14:00 BST, when we're expecting the judge to sum up the case before sentencing.

Mitigating barrister Tom Little KC is now on his feet, outlining the factors Mr Justice Bennathan might take into account as he considers Mosquera's sentence.
Mr Little suggests there may have been "an element of grooming" or control in the relationship between Mr Alfonso and Mosquera.
"We do maintain that there was a relationship that was not one of equals," says Little.
"We do maintain that there was a degree of grooming."

As the prosecution sets out its argument on what sentence Mosquera should receive, the court has heard the harrowing extent of the injuries inflicted on the two victims.
Paul Longworth suffered 13 hammer blows to the head, while Albert Alfonso was stabbed 22 times across his head and upper body. Both men were also dismembered before being placed in suitcases.
According to a mental health report compiled on Mosquera, he was not suffering any mental health problems when he carried out the murders - something the prosecution has asked the judge to take into account.
Similarly, prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said Mosquera was not a victim of coercive control.

Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC tells the court a whole-life order for the murders needs to start with a minimum of 30 years.
Heer says there were several aggravating factors.
These include Mosquera planning the murders to steal from the couple, the murder of Mr Alfonso taking place during sex, and the use of weapons, including a knife and hammer.
Mosquera has been sentenced to 16 months in prison for possessing thousands of indecent images of children.
He will serve this concurrently, alongside his eventual sentence for double murder.
During sentencing, the judge, Mr Justice Bennathan, says Mosquera was "actively involved in a network sharing indecent images of children".
“They were very young children being subjected to a variety of sexual abuse really of horrifying detail and nature," he added.

Prosecutors have just brought additional charges in front of the judge, all of them relate to indecent images of children that were found on Mosquera's laptop after he was arrested.
Mosquera has been handed three charges of possessing indecent images of children between 8 June 2024 and 14 July 2024 - one charge for each category of image.
He was found to be in possession on 1,500 category A images – the most severe. He also had 750 category B images and 4,000 category C.
Mosquera has entered the court room, handcuffed and wearing a green jumper with a cross necklace.
There are six police officers with him, as well as his interpreter.
He confirmed his name by saying "si".
