Rurik Jutting found fit to stand trial for HK murders 24 November 2014 Last updated at 04:42 The BBC's John Sudworth says the case is now likely to be referred to a higher court A British man charged with the murder of two women in Hong Kong has been ruled fit to stand trial by a judge. Rurik Jutting, a 29-year-old banker, was remanded in custody in Hong Kong earlier this month and referred for psychiatric testing. He is accused of killing Sumarti Ningsih and Seneng Mujiasih, who were found dead in his flat on 1 November. The two Indonesian women were in Hong Kong as domestic workers but were working in the sex trade. Judge Bina Chainrai ruled that Mr Jutting was mentally fit to stand trial after spending two weeks having tests in a secure psychiatric centre, the AFP news agency said. The case has now been adjourned until 6 July 2015, at the request of the prosecution who argued that several months were needed to forensically examine the evidence. Wearing the same T-shirt as his last two court appearance, with New York written on the front, Mr Jutting said he understood he would be held in custody until next year. We just advised him [Mr Jutting] that we'd be asking more reasons as to why it was going to be taking eight months. We've got that. In the end we had no objection," his lawyer, Michael Vidler, told reporters. Mr Jutting did not enter a plea. If found guilty, he could face a life sentence. Decomposing in suitcase On 1 November, Mr Jutting called police to his up-scale home in the Wan Chai nightlife district. Two days later police charged him with the murders which appear to have happened a few days apart. Ms Mujiasih's body was found in the living room with knife wounds to her neck and buttock. Ms Ningsih's body was found a few hours later in a suitcase on the balcony. She had sustained neck injuries and police believe she was killed on 27 October. Mr Jutting is a Cambridge University graduate originally from Cobham, Surrey. He was working in Hong Kong as a securities trader at Bank of America Merrill Lynch until just before the women died.
