Hong Kong police grill British trader over double murder

HONG KONG - Hong Kong police were Sunday questioning a 29-year-old British financier who worked for Bank of America Merrill Lynch after the grisly discovery of two female corpses, including one in a suitcase, in his upmarket apartment.

The women were found dead on the 31st floor of the residential block in the popular expatriate district of Wanchai in the early hours of Saturday morning - when many revellers were out celebrating Halloween.

Police said Sunday that the suspect remained in custody but had not been charged, while local press identified the man as British expatriate Rurik Jutting.

"A person with that name previously worked at this firm", Bank of America Merrill Lynch spokesman Paul Scanlon told AFP.

The man was arrested after he called police to his flat on Saturday where they found a naked woman with knife wounds to her neck and buttock in the living room.

The corpse of the other woman was discovered decaying inside a suitcase on the balcony.

The woman found in the living room, described by police as a foreigner aged between 25 and 30, was declared dead at the scene, with the cause thought to be a cut to her throat.

Police were scouring thousands of photographs stored on a mobile phone seized from the suspect, including some showing one of the corpses wrapped in a carpet inside a suitcase on the balcony, the South China Morning Post reported.

On social network platform LinkedIn, Rurik Jutting is listed as a graduate of Cambridge University. A person by the name posted last week he was embarking on a "new journey".

"Stepping down from the ledge. Burden lifted; new journey begins. Scared and anxious but also excited. The first step is always the hardest," said the posting uploaded to Facebook on Monday.

Body in suitcase

The victims are believed by police to be sex workers of Southeast Asian origin, local reports said.

One of the victims was thought to be a 25-year-old Indonesian, the government in Jakarta said, adding that its consulate in Hong Kong was coordinating with police to identify her.

Officers said earlier maggots were found in the corpse hidden in a suitcase.

"From what we can see it was intentionally hidden because it was put in a travel suitcase," police assistant district commander Wan Siu-hung told reporters.

"This body belonged to a person who has passed away for quite some time." A resident said a "disgusting" smell had been emanating from the building.

"It was the smell of a dead body. Maybe the police were moving it," the man, who lived on the 11th floor and refused to give his name, told AFP on Sunday.

Britain's Foreign Office confirmed that a British national had been arrested in the southern Chinese city.

"We are in touch with the local police and stand ready to provide consular assistance," it said.

Hong Kong, a city of seven million, has low crime rates and only 14 cases of homicide were reported in the first half of the year.

But in recent years the public was gripped by a lurid case dubbed the "Milkshake Murder" in which American housewife Nancy Kissel killed her banker husband.

Kissel, now serving a life sentence, was convicted of drugging her husband - a senior executive at Merrill Lynch - with a sedative-laced strawberry drink before clubbing him to death with a lead ornament at their luxury home in 2003.

British banker in grisly HK double murder 'academically gifted'

HONG KONG - A British banker appeared in a Hong Kong court on Monday charged with the grisly murder of two women whose bodies were found in his upmarket apartment, one of them decomposing in a suitcase.

Rurik Jutting, a 29-year-old securities trader who until recently worked at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, had called police to his home in the Wanchai district in the early hours of Saturday.

Investigators found a naked woman with knife wounds to her neck and buttocks in the living room of the flat, on the 31st floor of a plush residential block. The corpse of the other woman was discovered decaying inside a suitcase on the balcony.

Police reportedly believe the victims were sex workers.

Court documents named one of the victims as Sumarti Ningsih, listing the other as an unknown female. At least one of the women was Indonesian, the government in Jakarta said.

Jutting, a Cambridge graduate, showed no emotion as he listened to the charges against him at a magistrate's court in Wanchai. He was taken to jail to await his next hearing on November 10.

Heavily-built and bearded, he wore a black T-shirt and dark-rimmed glasses in court. He spoke only twice to confirm he understood the charges against him before police escorted him from the packed courtroom.

'Academically gifted'

Jutting was a pupil at the exclusive English boarding school Winchester College before studying history and law at Cambridge University, with former classmates saying he excelled academically.

"He seemed like a normal guy, although he kept pretty much to himself," said one former Cambridge acquaintance.

"The thing that stood out about him was that he was academically extremely talented," she added, describing him as "very, very ambitious".

Classmates also said he was intensely athletic and had been a member of the prestigious rowing club at Cambridge.

"He was a tough guy. He had a rower mentality of pushing himself," said one former Winchester pupil. "A classic banker, I guess." Another Winchester classmate described him as "clever but socially awkward".

Police were scouring thousands of photographs stored on Jutting's mobile phone, including some showing one of the corpses wrapped in a carpet inside a suitcase on the balcony, the South China Morning Post reported.

Jutting is believed to have recently quit his job at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

"We had an employee by that name but he recently left the firm," a company spokesman told AFP, declining to say whether Jutting resigned or had been sacked.

The banker posted on his Facebook page last week that he was embarking on a "new journey".

"Stepping down from the ledge. Burden lifted; new journey begins. Scared and anxious but also excited. The first step is always the hardest," he wrote on Monday.

Body in suitcase


Wanchai is known for its late-night drinking holes popular with expatriate revellers, and is home to a thriving red light district where sex workers, many of them from Southeast Asia, ply their trade.

"There's a possibility that both victims are Indonesian," Indonesia's consul-general in Hong Kong, Chalief Akbar, told AFP. "We are still waiting for confirmation from the police." Consulate officials said Ningsih, 25, had come to Hong Kong on September 1 and overstayed her one-month tourist visa.

Wanchai is known for its late-night drinking holes popular with expatriate revellers, and is home to a thriving red light district where sex workers, many of them from Southeast Asia, ply their trade.

The second victim, who has not been formally named, was known in local bars.

"She used to come here as a customer, for drinks, for lunch," said one waitress at Wanchai's Queen Victoria pub.


"She was a very nice girl." Officers said earlier that maggots were found in the corpse hidden in a suitcase, which appeared to have been there for several days.

"This body belonged to a person who has passed away for quite some time," police assistant district commander Wan Siu-hung told reporters.

A resident said a "disgusting" smell had been emanating from the building.

"It was the smell of a dead body," the man, who lived on the 11th floor and refused to give his name, told AFP.

At Monday's brief 15-minute hearing, Jutting's lawyer Martyn Richmond complained that his client was denied contact with British consular officials for 36 hours, as well as access to his preferred defence attorney. Jutting did not seek bail.

Hong Kong, a city of seven million, has low crime rates and only 14 cases of homicide were reported in the first half of the year.

No plea at Wan Chai double murder suspect's first court appearance

A British banker appeared in court on Monday in connection with the murder of two women in Wan Chai last week.

Rurik George Caton Jutting, 29, stands accused of killing two women at his upscale apartment in the vibrant Hong Kong Island district.

No plea was made on the charges at Eastern Court on Monday.

The court heard that police declined Jutting's requests to contact the British consulate-general and a solicitor who he suggested while he was being held in police custody.

The police told him to contact a lawyer on a list provided by Law Society instead, it heard.

The British citizen was arrested early on Saturday in connection with the deaths of the two women after he called police to his apartment.

There, police found the body of a young woman in the living room of the suspect's flat in Wan Chai. Her throat had been slashed. Her indentity has not yet been released by the authorities.

About eight hours after the first body was found, the naked corpse of another young woman was discovered wrapped in a carpet inside a black suitcase on the flat’s balcony. The woman was identified as 25 year-old Sumarti Ningsih.

An initial investigation found that the body in the suitcase had been there for three to four days and had started to decompose.

"We believe the woman had been dead for quite some time," Wan Siu-hung, Wan Chai assistant district commander for crime, said on Saturday.

He said the time gap between the bodies’ discovery was because police had to follow strict procedures to collect the evidence in the living room before searching the balcony.

One person who has lived at J Residence for about a year said he had noticed an odd smell recently. "There was a stink in the building like a dead animal," he said. "It was a shock because you would never expect something like this to happen in Hong Kong."

He said the building’s occupants were mainly expatriates. The rent for a 500 square foot flat at J Residence ranges from HK$25,000 to HK$30,000.

Detectives are also contacting pubs and vice establishments in the area to gather evidence and learn more about the background of the two dead women found in the flat on Saturday after initial assessments suggested that they were sex workers.

A spokeswoman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London confirmed that a British national had been arrested in Hong Kong. “We are in touch with the local police and stand ready to provide consular assistance," she said.

The court, upon Defence counsel Martyn Richmond's request, has reminded the press to abide by the rules governing what they could report in court cases.

Principal Magistrate Bina Chainrai adjourned the case to November 10 to give police more time to reconstruct the case. In the meantime, Jutting has been remanded in custody.

The murders are the latest in a series of shocking crimes the city has seen in recent months.

Suspect had drug-fuelled parties that lasted days


<small class="clear">Friday, November 7, 2014 - 06:00
</small>The New Paper


Fresh claims have emerged that the British banker charged with the murder of two women in Hong Kong was obsessed with having sex with "two or three women".

One woman's decomposing body was found in a suitcase on the balcony of his luxury flat, and another was found with her throat slashed. Both women are Indonesian. (See report, right.)

Rurik Jutting, 29, who until recently worked with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, also held drug-fuelled parties lasting for days at his plush Hong Kong flat, the Mail Online reported.

Meanwhile, an acquaintance in the banking industry recalled Jutting being distraught two years ago after his then-fiancee allegedly cheated on him with another man.

The woman, named by UK daily The Telegraph as Sarah Butt, 28, a British trader, had met Jutting in 2010 when they were both working for Barclays in London. She reportedly had an affair after moving from London to New York.

"She wanted to marry him (Jutting)... and he proposed, but she ended up cheating on him," the source was quoted as saying. "It was him ultimately who broke it off. I think he took her infidelity quite badly."

British TV station Channel 4 quoted a former girlfriend as saying that Jutting was deeply unhappy because of his job.

The woman, who did not want to be named, dated Jutting for about two months after meeting him in July last year, the month he moved to Hong Kong. They met at a bar where she worked.

"He's a perfectionist," she said. "He was a very nice person with me because I was his girlfriend. He was always strict with other people. He liked a variety of sex, two or three girls. He was never violent towards me."

In online updates, Jutting showed off his new life with a bevy of women. Many of the pictures featured Ms Ariane Guarin from the Philippines, who was known to friends as Yanie. But they appear to have broken up in September, the Mail Online claimed.

Ms Guarin had divided her time between looking after her children in a small town in the Philippines and partying with Jutting, who called her his "beautiful honey".

The Filipina, whose family lives in a small town near Manila, is seen wearing jewellery in shots with Jutting and appeared to have come into money.

On Ms Guarin's Facebook page, friends had posted requests for money, while she boasted of building a new home in the Philippines.

But another Filipina, believed to be a friend of Ms Guarin, told the Mail Online that she is his current girlfriend.

Speaking from Quezon City in the Philippines, she said she had been in a relationship with him for two months, and last spoke to him on Oct 20, 11 days before he was arrested.

Jutting's family in England was too distraught to comment. His mother runs a milkshake bar in Surrey, near London, and his father is an engineer.
