Greetings readers!
I’ve got some news for you, and it’s a sombre update on the search for Jay Slater. The web sleuths and conspiracy theorists, it turns out, were barking up the wrong tree. Sadly, Jay’s body has been discovered. It appears he simply slipped, fell down a ravine, and due to the isolated location, remained undiscovered for weeks. This eerily echoes the case of Michael Mosely in Greece.
However, this incident raises questions about the initial reports from the Spanish police, who implied Jay was still alive and had evidence to support this. It’s a reminder that organisations need to be mindful of their communications, as even the smallest snippet of information can fuel wild theories online.
Speaking of wild theories, it seems the web sleuths were starting to tire of the Jay Slater mystery, with their conjectures becoming increasingly far-fetched. But fear not, they’ve now latched onto a new case that reads like a thriller novel.
Enter Yostin Andres Mosquera. If you haven’t heard, Yostin is a 34-year-old Colombian who recently embarked on a curious journey from London to Bristol by train, followed by a taxi ride to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Nothing unusual, right? Perhaps he was just sightseeing?
Well, here’s where it takes a dark turn. Upon arrival at the bridge, Yostin was spotted attempting to throw two suitcases over the side. This bridge, notorious for past incidents, is equipped with cameras and high fences. When challenged by staff, Yostin bolted, pursued by a cyclist. The staff inspected the suitcases and made a grisly discovery – body parts!
Naturally, whispers of the Colombian Cartel began swirling, especially after Yostin muttered to the cyclist, “my boss is a bad man.” But the whole affair seems amateurish, doesn’t it? Taking public transport with suitcases of body parts, then trying to dispose of them in such a public place?
The police investigation led to a flat in Shepherd’s Bush, London, where more body parts were found. The victims have been identified as Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71 – once a couple, still cohabiting. Yostin, in an equally amateur move, was apprehended while trying to return to London via Bristol’s main train station.
Online chatter is buzzing. Albert’s Flickr account features many photos of Yostin over the years. Yostin moved over from Columbia and lived with Albert and Paul, leading some to speculate about a love triangle. Others draw parallels to stories of elderly individuals returning from places like Egypt with young spouses who vanish after securing a visa. Some suggest Yostin was sent by ‘bosses’ to extort money before disposing of Albert and Paul. However, given their modest circumstances, they seem unlikely targets for such a scheme.
It’s still too early to determine what exactly transpired in that flat and why. The nature of Yostin’s stay in the UK and the events leading up to this tragedy remain a mystery. Yet, it certainly provides rich material for my sequel to “Rabbit Fever”!
