Grisly HK murders spark Western banker backlash
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.
