British banker, 31, admits killing two women: He tortured one for THREE days at his luxury Hong Kong flat, filmed the savage attacks on his iPhone and said how much he enjoyed the deaths

He said the evidence includes colour photographs that 'are not pleasant photographs to look at.
'They are extremely upsetting.'
He added that 'the defendant even recorded on his iPhone part of the torture he inflicted on his first victim,' which will be shown to the jury.
'Much of what the jury will see or hear is very disturbing indeed,' he said, but added that the Jutting is entitled to a fair trial.
While Jutting's initial guilty manslaughter plea was rejected, the judge told jurors that they could still decide between finding him guilty of murder or manslaughter.
Jutting is a Cambridge University graduate who worked for Bank of America-Merrill Lynch in structured equity finance and trading.

The case shocked the former British colony, which has a reputation for being safe, while also highlighting the city's extreme inequality.
The victims had originally come to Hong Kong as foreign maids. But Seneng had let her domestic worker visa lapse and Sumarti had returned on a tourist visa.
They were among the more than 300,000 migrant domestic workers employed in Hong Kong, almost all of them women from Indonesia or the Philippines.
