British banker Rurik Jutting appears in Hong Kong court as second alleged victim named

The second Indonesian woman allegedly murdered by British banker Rurik Jutting in Wan Chai last year was named in court yesterday.

Prosecutors identified her as Seneng Mujiasih, after earlier listing the first woman as Sumarti Ningsih. It was the first time Seneng has been publicly named by authorities.

The 30-year-old Briton is charged with two counts of murder over the death of the two women at J Residence in Johnston Road on November 1 and has yet to enter a plea.

At Eastern Court yesterday, Jutting was clad in the same black T-shirt he had worn in previous court sessions.

He was represented by counsel Timothy Parker and solicitor Michael Vidler.

Magistrate Jason Wan Siu-ming adjourned the case until May 8, when the court was to decide whether prosecutors had sufficient evidence to bring the murder trial to a higher court.
