Rurik Jutting found fit to stand trial for HK murders

HONG KONG: -- 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 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 examine the evidence in detail.
