A suspected double murderer appeared to ask one of his alleged victims “do you like it?” as he stabbed him to death in a video that has been shown to a jury.

Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, denies murdering Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, at the flat the men shared in west London last July.
Mosquera is accused of dumping their chopped-up bodies in suitcases on Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.
Jurors at the Old Bailey watched the footage, which had the sound of someone appearing to struggle to breathe.
Mr Alfonso’s death was captured on four cameras in his bedroom to record sex sessions with Mosquera, who is seen singing and dancing in the aftermath of the attack at the property in Shepherd’s Bush.
In the video, the two men, who are both naked, are seen struggling with each other and wrestling to the ground.

PC Nick Swire said: “You can see Mosquera apply a knife to Mr Alfonso”, as the officer described the “frenzied stabbing to the torso and the chest”.
Mr Alfonso’s “body goes limp and he loses consciousness”, PC Swire said, before the footage ends with Mr Alfonso on the ground, and “significant blood flowing from the neck area to the floor”.
Mosquera has admitted the manslaughter of Mr Alfonso by way of loss of self-control. Prosecutors say Mosquera was “in complete control” of his actions.
Two days after the 8 July killing, different CCTV footage shows Mosquera dragging a heavy red suitcase along Clifton Suspension Bridge at about 11.23pm.
Two members of the bridge’s staff approached him, but were called away, before he was also seen by a cyclist who stopped to see if he was okay, thinking he was a tourist, jurors heard.
The witness also saw a large silver trunk a few metres away from the defendant, and Mosquera told him the luggage contained car parts.
But really, they “contained the decapitated and dismembered bodies of Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso, which the defendant had transported to Bristol from their home in London”, prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said.

The prosecution alleges Mosquera was planning to “dispose” of the bodies, but, after being approached by the staff and the cyclist, he abandoned the cases and ran away.
After discovering the cases contained body parts, police searched the Shepherd’s Bush flat where they found Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth’s decapitated heads, as well as other remains, in a chest freezer, the court heard.
