British banker charged grisly HK murders

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 Hong Kong’s central Wanchai district in the early hours of Saturday morning.
