Chilling footage filmed by a British banker accused of killing two Indonesian women in Hong Kong in 2014 was played in the High Court on the second day of his trial.
Rurik Jutting, 31, has denied two counts of murder for killing Sumarti Ningsih, 23, and Seneng Mujiasih, 26.
Some of the clips recorded how Jutting purportedly tortured Sumarti before killing her, and they were played only to the jurors.
Part of the footage was filmed after the alleged killings, and was played openly in court. Here are parts of the transcript:
• “My name is Rurik Jutting. About five minutes ago I just killed, murdered, this woman here.”
• “It’s Monday night. I’ve held her captive since early Saturday. I’ve raped her repeatedly. I tortured her, tortured her badly.”
• “At the time it felt really good. Yeah, it’s good. I reduced her to a sex object. Then I realised, hang on, this is actually not that difficult or bad. This is illegal, of course. When you step back, you realise it’s horrible, of course.”
