QuoteHong Kong court sees chilling video describing torture
HONG KONG (AP) — A jury in Hong Kong watched chilling video Tuesday of a British banker describing how he tortured and killed an Indonesian woman he met in a bar, saying he repeatedly raped her and "tortured her badly."
In an iPhone video he shot, Rurik Jutting, a Cambridge University graduate on trial in Hong Kong's High Court for the murder of two Indonesian women, can be seen shirtless in his apartment.
"My name is Rurik Jutting. About five minutes ago I just killed, murdered, this woman here," he says into the camera, pointing it down briefly to show the body of Sumarti Ningsih, 23, lying face down on the floor of his bathroom shower.
Moments later he holds up his hand, which can be seen shaking.
"It's Monday night. I've held her captive since early Saturday, I've raped her repeatedly, I tortured her, tortured her badly."
Later on, her body is seen wrapped in a grey blanket, with her legs sticking out of it and blood streaks on the floor. Jutting tells the camera it was "several hours" after he killed her.
It was part of an extended, rambling monologue that continued for hours over several video clips in which Jutting discussed his use of drugs and prostitutes, whether to commit suicide and how he felt no guilt after killing Sumarti.
The graphic video was shown on the second day of Jutting's trial for murdering Sumarti and Seneng Mujiasih, 26, whom prosecutors say Jutting killed by slitting their throats.
Their bodies were found in his upscale apartment near the Asian financial center's Wan Chai red-light district in 2014 in a case that shocked the city, which has a reputation for being safe but also has extreme inequality among its foreign workers. The former British colony has a sizable white-collar expatriate elite alongside more than 300,000 migrant domestic workers, almost all of them women from Indonesia or the Philippines.
Jutting, who worked in the Hong Kong office of Bank of America-Merrill Lynch in structured equity finance and trading, pleaded not guilty Monday to two murder charges, with prosecutors rejecting his attempt to plead guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
Jutting, 31, watched the proceedings from the glass-screened dock, showing no expression. He wore a pale blue shirt and appeared much slimmer than court appearances last year.
Earlier, the jurors were played about 20 minutes of video in which Jutting is apparently torturing Sumarti. The media and public could not view it, but were able to hear the audio.
At one point he can be heard saying: "If you scream I will punish you. Understand?"
That is followed by the sound of smacking and slapping.
During his monologue, Jutting said, "I've always had dark fantasies" involving rape, torture, murder.
He said he had earned more than $1 million from his bank job over the previous two years but had spent most of it on drugs and prostitutes.
At one point, he holds up to the camera a small plastic bag apparently containing cocaine and a rolled up Hong Kong $10 bill. He is seen several times in the video clips snorting the drug.
In opening remarks Monday, Prosecutor John Reading told court that Sumarti, who was in Hong Kong on a tourist visa, went home with Jutting after he offered her "a large sum of money."
After she died, Jutting put her remains in a suitcase he left on the balcony.
Seneng was officially in Hong Kong as a foreign maid but was working at a bar when Jutting met her and after offered her money for sex days after killing Sumarti, the prosecutor said.
It is all over the news here but the local reaction isn't really that great. It is committed by an expat against women on foreign maid visas. No locals are involved. We'll do everything we can to make sure the guy is locked up for the rest of his life, but our blood isn't really boiling over this.
Not the best Rurik.

I was sorta turned on too...by how high his salary was. Then I remember that I failed :weep:
Actually, now that I think about it, how is it even possible that someone can blow US$1 million on drugs and prostitutes? That's not only crazy. That's almost impossible to do.
Think of it this way, Mono; you could piss your salary away on drugs and prostitutes, too. It just wouldn't take 2 years.
He made a half mill a year. That comes to c. $1,400 a day. There are places and market segments you could spend all that on hookers and blow, but I don't imagine Indonesians fetch that kind of price in HK.

Sounds about right. Just because Rurik decided to murder an Indonesian girl doesn't mean those where he spent all his money. He probably frequented high end places too.
The focus of the local media is on police incompetence. Guy actually called the police and tried to tell the emergency call centre officers that he did something really bad. The policemen just couldn't understand English. The first police officer who arrived on scene couldn't communicate with the dude either. Every policeman is supposed to have attained a certain degree of English proficiency before he is hired, and yet this is what we get.

1. The reactions from you are better than the ones from Ed.
2. That's a bit of an exaggeration there. All I said was that your unfunny racist jokes are unfunny and racist. My preference is, in fact, that you live.
3. Don't worry, I judgejudgejudge Ed too. I just do it silently most of the time.
4. And since you evidently do care, don't worry in spite of your shortcomings I think you're great :hug: (Ed too for that matter)
I know a guy here who works in finance. No idea what. Some sort of handling rich people's investments thing.
He worked in tokyo for 10 years apparently, living in roppongi and failing to learn any japanese.
He is a complete cunt. Drugs, trying it on with any woman going ... yup.
I could really imagine him doing this kind of thing.
The profession breeds them it seems.
A jury has convicted the guy of murder. He tried to plead guilty to a manslaughter charge but the request was turned down by Department of Justice. In the past few mornings, every time I drove to work I saw tons of policemen escorting a bus on its way to the court. Must be this nutjob. He is considered highly dangerous and mentally unstable. The police stopped traffic along the way to make sure nobody got close to the bus.
The judge has yet to hand down the sentence but I seldom see a convicted murderer here get anything less than life.
His got life sentence. I think it is probably a mandatory sentence for murder in HK.
I love how most of this thread focused on salaries...

Who would have thought? I mean, Mono is the very epitome of compassion and empathy for a fellow man - so it's surprising his fellow Hongkongese are so different.
