'DESCENT INTO CHAOS' Killer banker Rurik Jutting slept with ‘ladyboys’ and sought black men for sex just weeks before raping and killing two Hong Kong prostitutes
TWISTED killer Rurik Jutting slept with two “ladyboys” and a post-op transsexual as his life spiralled out of control, a court has heard.
Cambridge Uni graduate Jutting, 31, also trawled dating sites for men willing to have sex with prostitutes he was with.
But when that failed he went on gay App Grindr to find black men for him to have sex with but without success.
Defence counsel Tim Owen QC read from a report prepared by forensic psychologist Professor Derek Perkins who has worked with inmates at Broadmoor Hospital.
Mr Owen said: ”For two weeks before the offences his life was spiralling out of control. It was chaotic…there was an increasing descent into more extreme behaviour.”
He went on: ”As well as having sex with a post operative transsexual and two ladyboys, he also looked for men to have sex with women he was with.
”When that failed he went on to Grindr to find black men to have sex with him.”
Mr Owen quoted Jutting as telling professor Perkins: ”I was trying to do everything I could to get new experiences but always ended up disappointed.”
Jutting is accused of killing sex worker Sumarti Ningsih, 23, after horrifically torturing her for three days in his luxury Hong Kong flat.
Days later after preparing another torture kit containing sex toys, sandpaper, pliers and a blow torch he sliced the throat of another prostitute Seneng Mujiasih, 26.
His trial in Hong Kong also heard the last call he had made before police arrested him, was to his boss at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Jutting told him: “I’m in a lot of trouble. You need to do something to protect the reputation of the bank.”
Jurors also heard how Breaking Bad fan Jutting smuggled cocaine in his rectum on a flight to Hong Kong because the quality was poor in the ex British colony.
The court has already heard he eventually managed to find a local dealer identified only as Marvin who supplied him after being introduced by a sex worker.
Prof Perkins explained that he had prepared a 28 page report on Jutting after meeting him in his Hong Kong prison earlier this year.
Other details to emerge from his interview with him were that when Jutting left Barclays to join Bank of America Merrill Lynch in 2010 he ”took a massive amount of information with him”.
Mr Owen said: ”As a result he described his career as stellar and he was earning £270,000 a year by 2011-2012.”
The court heard in late 2012 Bank of America Merrill Lynch raised concerns with Jutting over his ”travel costs” after he flew from London to South Africa, Luxembourg, Singapore and the Philippines.
At the time he Jutting was trying to market a tax product in Luxembourg and an audit was raised after suggestions he had violated regulations.
As a result bank chiefs suggested he move to Hong Kong and in September 2013 he moved to the Far East.
Mr Owen told the court that by then Jutting was drinking 3/4 of a bottle of vodka a day to sleep and was also heavily using cocaine.
In March 2014 he went to a friend’s wedding and stayed at the London Waldorf Astoria where Mr Owen said he went on a ”long cocaine binge” and met sex workers.
Mr Owen added: ”He remained on in London and he failed to turn up at a work meeting that had been arranged.
”He told his employers that he contracted HIV before flying back to Hong Kong.”
Bosses emailed him asking him to ”curtail his actions” as the Luxembourg investigation continued and which Jutting described as ”turning point in his career” and was devastated when the deal failed to go through.
Prof Perkins described Jutting’s spiralling use of cocaine and sex workers as ”the beginning of a psychological collapse” which he couldn’t control because of his narcissistic personality disorder.
Reading another excerpt from Prof Perkins report Mr Owen said: ”His sexual interests had become more and more extreme.
”There was an escalation in his propensity to control others and be more aggressive and this combined with his use of violent pornography.
”The pornography he was using became more extreme and the lengths of time he was watching it increased.”
He failed to show up for work the fortnight before the killings and Prof Perkins said:”His increased use of cocaine and alcohol in combination with his narcissistic personality disorder created a situation in which his life moved from one of managed success to being out of control.”
He added:”He was engaging in horrific behaviour which was disrupting his normal working life and his relationships and they were affecting his physical health.”
Prof Perkins also explained why Jutting had filmed himself brutally torturing his first victim.
He said:''I believe he did it because of the coming together of the different aspects of his personality disorder and his sadistic sex disorder.
''He filmed these terrible things because he gained pleasure from them and he filmed them so he could reenact that pleasure later.
''He had a set of fantasies that had been stimulated and reinforced by the pornography he had viewed and the written pornography he had read.
''He had a template of a fantasy that he wanted to reenact and he filmed it because it was pleasurable.''
Jutting, from leafy Cobham, Surrey, denies murdering the two women but admits killing them due to diminished responsibility.
He has also pleaded guilty the preventing the lawful burial of mum-of-one Sumarti's body which was found in a suitcase on the balcony of his 31st floor flat.
Earlier Jutting, dressed in a blue shirt, had become visibly agitated as prosecutor John Reading QC dismissed defence claims he was ''not in control'' when he killed the women.
He refused to watch a video he had made which showed him describing his torture kit of blow torch, sand paper, sex toys, nails and a hammer.
Mr Reading told the court Jutting was ''quite calm and in control'' as he filmed on his iPhone just hours before he killed Seneng.
Defence witness forensic psychiatrist Dr Richard Latham, Mr Reading said:''His control was impaired by drugs and alcohol. In the case of the killing he knew what he was doing.
''But in my mind to know what he was doing is different to being able to exercise control.''
