British banker Rurik Jutting was charged with double murder in Hong Kong after the bodies of two women were found on Saturday morning in his luxury Hong Kong apartment.
Jutting reportedly grew up in Chertsey, Surrey, where his family lived in a £1.1million Victorian house.
He studied history and law at Cambridge University and from 2008 to 2010 worked in London with Barclays, after which he landed a job at Bank of America Merrill Lynch before moving to Hong Kong with the firm last year.
A colleague described him as often preoccupied with power and money and as someone who ‘enjoyed buying things that showed he was able to buy things.’
He used to be in a serious relationship with a woman who shared his extravagant spending habits. The couple planned to get married, but he eventually broke it off after after discovering she had been unfaithful.
Before he was arrested, Jutting’s out-of-office autoreply was a message saying he was away ‘indefinitely’ and recommended contacting someone who was not ‘an insane psychopath.’
Police said the scene of the murders was among the grisliest they’ve ever seen. Hundreds of Twitter users have compared the killings to the movie American Psycho.
If convicted of murder, Jutting faces life in prison.
