A court in Hong Kong has adjourned the trial of a British banker accused of the murders of two women, pending a psychiatric report on the suspect.
29-year-old Rurik Jutting was charged with two counts of murder last week after police found the bodies of two women in his apartment, including one inside a suitcase on a balcony.
The body of one of two women found dead in a Hong Kong flat - which has reportedly led to the arrest of a British national - was found inside a suitcase on the balcony, local police have said.
Hong Kong Police statement said the other female - aged between 25 and 30 - was found with wounds to her neck and buttock and confirmed dead at the residence in the Wan Chai district.
Police said the victim found inside a suitcase had sustained neck injuries and confirmed a knife was found at the scene.
The statement added the 29-year-old foreign man was being detained for enquiries after being arrested for murder at the scene.
The mother of one of British banker Rurik Jutting's alleged murder victims says he should bear financial responsibility for her son.
The 29-year-old Brit was privately-educated and studied at Cambridge before becoming an investment banker in London and then Hong Kong.
