HONG KONG • A British banker jailed for life for the horrifying murders of two Indonesian women at his upscale Hong Kong apartment in a cocaine-fuelled rampage has appealed against his conviction.
Cambridge University graduate Rurik Jutting tortured Ms Sumarti Ningsih for three days — filming parts of her ordeal on his phone — before slashing her throat and stuffing her body into a suitcase.
Days later, and with Ms Ningsih’s corpse on his balcony, the former Bank of America employee picked up Ms Seneng Mujiasih, intending to play out the same fantasies. He killed her when she started screaming.
Jutting, now 32, had pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility but was found guilty of murder, with the judge saying the killings were «sickening in the extreme».
