British banker found guilty of murder in Hong Kong
November 8, 2016
The nine-person jury returned their unanimous verdicts in the High Court on Tuesday.
Jutting, 31, pleaded not guilty to murdering Sumarti Ningsih, 23, and Seneng Mujiasih, 26, in 2014 on grounds of "diminished responsibility" due to alcohol and drug abuse and sexual disorders.
Jutting was found guilty of murder in the death of 23-year-old Sumarti Ningsih, after prosecutors said Jutting was using cocaine while torturing her for three days before slitting her throat, with jurors shown smartphone video clips of the torture he filmed.
Jutting crammed her body inside a suitcase that he left on the balcony of his apartment near the Wan Chai red-light district.
The jury also found Jutting guilty of the murder of 26-year-old Seneng Mujiasih, who was killed days later.
