The Bodies on the Bridge

In July 2024, the discovery of two suitcases containing human remains on Bristol's iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge shocked the nation and sparked one of the UK's most disturbing murder investigations in recent memory. The Bodies on the Bridge follows the investigation from the moment police are alerted to a man wheeling a heavy suitcase across a bridge in the early hours of the morning. When officers discover human remains inside two abandoned suitcases, detectives launch an urgent hunt to identify the victims and track down the person responsible. With unprecedented access to the court proceedings, investigators, police officers, journalists and friends connected to the case, the two-part special explores the murders of Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth and uncovers their complex relationship with Yostin Mosquera, who was found guilty of the murders of the pair.
