In my many years as a court reporter, THIS was the 'most dangerous, evil man' I ever laid eyes on: STEPHEN WRIGHT tells new On The Case podcast about the 'sadistic' double murder that will never leave him

On the latest episode of The Crime Desk's On The Case podcast, host Alex Matthews sits down with the Daily Mail's former crime editor Stephen Wright to discuss the horrific, drug-fuelled murders committed by depraved banker Rurik Jutting.Wright flew out to Hong Kong in November 2014 to cover the case for the Daily Mail after news broke that a British man had been accused of the worst murders the island had ever seen.Jutting, then 29, had murdered sex workers Sumarti Ningsih, 23, and Seneng Mujiasih, 26, during a days-long cocaine and alcohol binge - before calling police on himself, after hallucinating that armed officers were camped outside his swanky apartment.When police entered the property, they found Ningsih's body stuffed in a suitcase on his balcony, and Mujiasih's lying in a bloody heap in his living room. On the latest episode of the On The Case podcast, Alex Matthews sits down with veteran crime editor Stephen Wright to discuss the horrific, drug-fuelled murders by banker Rurik JuttingIt would transpire that Jutting had tortured Ningsih over a period of several days, recording the acts of barbarity on his iPhone. In one recording later played to the jury, he could be heard attacking the gagged woman to the sound of Daft Punk's One More Time.Recalling the trial on the podcast, Wright said he remembered hearing Ningsih's muffled cries and was so appalled that he was reduced to simply staring at the killer.'You could imagine the horrible pain she was suffering, it must have been excruciating,' Wright told On The Case.'It's just off the scale in terms of brutality. I looked at him and it was almost like he was meditating in the dock.'I formed the opinion, not for the first time in my career, that he was reliving that moment of murder and enjoying it… I just stared at him for a few minutes, thinking: "How on Earth can one human being do this another?"'He should have been utterly, utterly ashamed of himself. But I formed the impression he was enjoying hearing that horror being played out at Hong Kong's High Court.'Jutting had been raised in a Grade II-listed building in leafy Surrey, the son of an engineer and a nursery teacher. Privately educated, he then went on to Cambridge, where he achieved a first in History.After university, he entered the world of finance and trained as an investment banker working for Merrill Lynch, earning £350,000 a year in his glamorous role.His job took him to the investment bank's offices in Hong Kong, where he spent his wages on sex, drugs and alcohol.Jutting would later try to have the charges against him reduced to manslaughter, arguing that his use of alcohol and cocaine had diminished his responsibility for the murders - a defence the court dismissed. The investment banker worked for Merrill Lynch, earning £350,000 a year in his glamorous role. Privately educated, he went on to Cambridge, where he achieved a first in HistoryWright believes Jutting's drug use likely saved lives. Viewing the murderer as pure evil, he argued the cocaine and alcohol only made him sloppy enough to be caught before he could kill again.He said: 'I have covered some horrendous court cases: the Rose West trial, Cromwell Street, Gloucester House of Horrors, all that.'That was awful, and some of you will know that the local council offered counselling to the journalists covering the case because it was that horrific.'But with Jutting, it was just the level of violence. The thing that really sticks with me is hearing that woman trying to scream, but she couldn't because she was gagged - with the most appalling things being done to her.'He's the most dangerous, evil man whose murder trial I have ever attended… Jutting is in his own category.'To have to listen to someone in their final moments in that way - it stays with you for your life. It does. You can't forget it.'Listen to episode four of On The Case for free now, wherever you get your podcasts. For access to future episodes, subscribe to The Crime Desk.
