When British banker Rurik Jutting called the “999” emergency line at about 3.55am on November 1, 2014, officers on the line seemed to have difficulty understanding his English.
“You are speaking too fast,” an officer said during the brief exchange with the Briton. The officer was then told where the caller lived.
Though the officer thought the call was a noise complaint, policemen were nonetheless sent for immediately.
The subsequent early morning check in Jutting’s Wan Chai flat by the force eventually unveiled a gruesome double murder which rocked Hong Kong – a city widely considered to be one of the safest in the world – two years ago.
The Cambridge-educated banker, with an IQ of 137, called police to turn himself in after he allegedly murdered two young Indonesian women five days apart while high on cocaine.
