Rurik Jutting murder trial told he filmed himself torturing sex worker for THREE days then made her lick the toilet before sawing through her neck

A BANKER tortured a prostitute for three days, then slashed her throat and hid her body in a suitcase, a court heard yesterday.

Rurik Jutting, 31, even  filmed himself subjecting Sumarti Ningsih, 23, to a horrific ordeal after fuelling himself with booze, cocaine and Red Bull

He forced terrified mum-of-one Sumarti to lick a toilet bowl before he cut her throat with a serrated knife.

But she did not die immediately so he dragged her to the shower where he sawed through her neck.

Sumarti was one of two Indonesian sex workers killed by Jutting in his luxury 31st floor flat near Hong Kong’s seedy Wan Chai district.

His second victim, Seneng Mujiasih, 26, was killed five days later. Her throat was also cut.

Prosector John Reading QC told Hong Kong’s High Court: “This is a horrific case. There are video clips taken from the accused’s iPhone and photos — and they show extreme torture.

“You will see a dead body in the shower and it will be difficult to watch.

“This is a unique case because much of the evidence comes from the accused himself.”

Cambridge University graduate Jutting, originally of Cobham, Surrey — who moved to Hong Kong in 2013 — sat in the dock with four prison guards.

He pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility but this was rejected by the prosecution.

He denied two charges of murder but admitted a third charge of preventing the lawful burial of a body.

The trial started almost two years to the day after Sumarti’s death.

Jutting wrapped her body in a plastic bag and stuffed it in a suitcase that he left on a balcony.

Sumarti had met Jutting in a hotel for sex days earlier, the jury heard.

He had been rough with her and she offered him half his money back if she could leave. He agreed.

But days later she went back to his flat in the early hours after he promised her a large sum of money.

Mr Reading said: “Over the next three days the accused subjected Miss Ningsih to increasingly cruel levels of violence using his belt, sex toys, a pair of pliers and his fists.

“After torturing her he took her into the bathroom, had her kneel in front of the toilet bowl with her hands tied behind her back, made her lick the bowl and then he cut her throat with a serrated-edged knife.

“She did not immediately die, so he dragged her into the shower and continued to saw through her neck. That knife was never recovered.”

The court heard Jutting videoed himself as he discussed the killing and what he should do next, whether to give himself up, kill himself or hide the body and flee to the UK.

Jurors heard how in footage Jutting, who earned £340,000 a year, described watching extremely violent porn and turning his fantasies into reality.

Mr Reading said: “He talked about having raped Miss Ningsih.”

Jutting picked up second victim Seneng in a bar.

Mr Reading said that before meeting Seneng, Jutting bought £490 worth of sex toys and tools including a blowtorch.

Mr Reading said Jutting had left two knives under cushions on his sofa and also made a gag out of rope and a condom.

He said Jutting and Seneng returned to his flat and kissed and cuddled.

Mr Reading added: “Miss Mujiasih apparently saw the gag and began to shout at the accused.”

Jutting cut her throat in a struggle that followed.

After the killing. Jutting took cocaine and, in a later police interview, said he had been hallucinating.

He made a rambling emergency call, saying he was “surrounded by police and special forces”.

He told two cops who arrived at his flat: “If I have to go to jail I will do so in the UK.”

Officers then noticed a pool of blood and Seneng’s legs poking out from under a quilt on the floor.

Sumarti’s body was found eight hours later after an officer noticed a strong smell from the balcony. The trial continues.
