A man accused of murdering two men and dumping their remains in suitcases near the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol has admitted killing one of the victims.
Yostin Andres Mosquera is charged with the murders of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, between 8 and 10 July in Shepherd's Bush, west London.
The 35-year-old defendant admitted the manslaughter of Mr Alfonso during a hearing at the Old Bailey on Tuesday, but denies both charges of murder.
The prosecution has said it does not accept the plea, and Mr Mosquera will still face trial over both alleged murders.
Colombian national Mr Mosquera spoke only to confirm his identity and enter the plea via a Spanish interpreter.
An investigation was launched after human remains were found in two suitcases near Clifton Suspension Bridge last July.
The defendant was arrested at Bristol Temple Meads train station days afterwards.
Mr Longworth was British, and Mr Alfonso was originally from France but had obtained British citizenship.
Mr Mosquera's trial is expected to open on Wednesday.
