Exclusive | Inside the building where Rurik Jutting murdered two women
The British banker’s flat has been unoccupied since the deaths
Three days of torture, two killings and the subsequent arrest of a double murderer – all this took place in a 400 sq ft apartment in a ritzy residential project on one of Wan Chai’s busiest corners.
British banker Rurik Jutting, who killed two young Indonesian women two years ago, rented the high-floor flat for more than HK$20,000 per month after coming to Hong Kong in October 2013, and lived there until his arrest on November 1, 2014.
Real estate agents said the unit where the women died had been unoccupied since the ghastly events, and that its owner had no plans to sell the property.
Flats one floor above and below also have not changed hands since the incident, given the fact that local people still remember what happened in Jutting’s rooms.
But other units in the plush J Residence apartment block are massively popular, according to the agents.
