Interesting. So the man was living with a homosexual couple who were together anymore. I wonder how that came to be? Were they lodging the room out? Were they friends?
It wasn’t classed as homophobic attack before people start talking.
> Mr Longworth and Mr Alfonso had previously been in a relationship and still lived together at the Scotts Road flat.
This has become so common in the U.K. can we say it’s down to cost of living? Usually breaking up would result in immediate distance between both parties n
Interesting details. Most logically he was staying there because he was a lodger, standard in London. What are the other reasons why he would end up killing these two men if wasn’t a homophobic attack, if they’ve ruled that out. That leaves – accident and the mans stupid and hid the bodies (unlikely). Some sort of rent dispute and he wanted to carry on living there rent free (this seems most likely to me – the body bridge idea was because he wasn’t very bright). He was mentally ill and paranoid (also likely – goes with the body bridge dumping idea). Also a fruad where he was dating one of them, like that Peter Farquhar murder, especially if these two older men owned the flat (not implausible). Finally there’s some sort of shady deal gone wrong, but this doesn’t all look gang related.
>Police said they did not believe, at this stage, it was a homophobic attack but it had been a categorised as a hate crime.
This reads like the police think a hate crime was the motive, just not homohobia.
At first I thought this was a drug related crime, his nationality, the comments he made about his boss on the bridge combined with the fact that it’s a suitcase of body parts, made me think this was a bit of columbian cocaine cartel activity. But now this is turning into something more familiar and not as sinister and worrying as the columbian cartels leaving body parts hanging from bridges in southern England.
Now it just sound like the perpetrator is clueless, which makes this sound an opportunistic crime and not thought out. What was his plan in taking a taxi from London to a toll bridge in Bristol? Was he just going to drop the body parts from the top of the bridge and then get the train home to London?
