– Victims’ tragic journey home –
The bodies of Seneng Mujiasih and Sumarti Ningsih, both Indonesian and in their 20s, are due to be flown home Tuesday morning, Indonesian consulate officials in Hong Kong told AFP.
Their corpses were discovered after Jutting called police to his flat in the city’s Wanchai neighbourhood in the early hours of November 1.
Seneng was found naked in the living room, with knife wounds to her neck and buttocks.
Sumarti’s decaying body was found hours later by police, stuffed into a suitcase on the apartment’s balcony.
According to court documents, she was killed days earlier on October 27.
Police are investigating whether the victims were sex workers. READ: Parents of Indonesian murdered in Hong Kong urge death for killer.
Wanchai is known for its late-night drinking holes popular with expatriate revellers, and is home to a thriving red light district.
High-flyer Jutting was a pupil at the exclusive English boarding school Winchester College before studying history and law at Cambridge University.
On October 27 he posted on his Facebook page that he was embarking on a “new journey”.
“Stepping down from the ledge. Burden lifted; new journey begins. Scared and anxious but also excited. The first step is always the hardest,” he wrote.
On that same date, his licence from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority for dealing in and advising on securities was cancelled, according to its website.
Jutting’s three licences for dealing in securities and futures contracts with the city’s Securities and Futures Commission also ended on October 28, according to its website.
