Accusations against Briton Jutting trigger criticism of privileged foreign workers in city's finance industry
Hong Kong
THE murder of two young Indonesian women in Hong Kong allegedly by a British expatriate has sparked a backlash against wealthy Western bankers accused of treating the financial hub as their own personal playground.
The victims were found mutilated in 29-year-old Rurik Jutting's upmarket apartment in Wanchai, streets away from the neon-lit bars of the neighbourhood's famous red-light district - popular with expats and tourists at all hours.
