Banker appears in court in connection with murders of two women

A British man has appeared in court in connection with the gruesome murders of two women – one of whom died six days before her body was discovered in a suitcase – in Hong Kong.

Rurik George Caton Jutting, named in a court document, had been arrested after the bodies of the women – reportedly sex workers from Indonesia – were found at his flat in the Wan Chai district of the former British colony in the early hours of Saturday.
