Police search for more victims after photos of dead women found on phone

Sex toys and cocaine were also reportedly found along with a 12-inch knife

25-year-old Sumarti Ningsih's arms and legs had been bound with rope

Hours later a second woman was found 'nearly decapitated' in a suitcase

A British investment banker charged with the murder of two prostitutes in Hong Kong was apparently 'devastated' after his fiancée - a fellow trader - cheated on him with another man.

Cambridge graduate Rurik Jutting, 29, was arrested over the weekend after the discovery of one 'nearly decapitated' woman in a suitcase and another who had her throat slashed at his luxury flat.

He appeared in court this morning for a short hearing in which the two charges of murder were read out to him and was remanded in custody until November 10.

It came as police said they were widening the search for possible other victims to the Philippines, where Jutting is understood to have also used sex workers.

A former acquaintance today said Jutting had been in a serious relationship with a British female trader which ended bitterly around two years ago.

The pair had become engaged, but he was left distraught when she reportedly had an affair after moving to New York from London.

'Insane psychopath': British banker Rurik Jutting has been charged with the murder of two prostitutes found butchered at his Hong Kong flat. He is pictured here with Ariane Guarin, also known as Yanie, who is believed to be the trader's ex-girlfriend, but not the British trader to whom he is understood to have been engaged

Victim: One of the two women discovered inside Jutting's luxury apartment in Hong Kong. The woman, named locally as Jesse Lorena Ruri, was 30 years old and originally from the Philippines

Horrific death: Officers arrived at Jutting's blood-spattered 31st-floor apartment to find Jesse Lorena Ruri still alive despite gaping knife wounds to her throat and buttocks, but she died soon after

The source, who declined to be named, said: 'She wanted to marry him pretty fervently and he proposed, but she ended up cheating on him.'

The fiancee was forced to fly back to London because Jutting was so heartbroken, the source told the Daily Telegraph.

'It was him ultimately him who broke it off - I think he took her infidelity quite badly.'

'They tried to reconcile. But I think maybe a month or so into it he was not able to come to terms with the fact that she had been unfaithful.'

Jutting, a former pupil at the £34,000-a-year Winchester College, was often 'pre-occupied with power and money' and liked going out and buying tables at clubs, the friend added.

It also emerged that Jutting branded himself an 'insane psychopath' in a chilling 'out-of-office' e-mail from his Bank of America Merrill Lynch account days before the bodies were found at his flat.

The e-mail response read: 'I am out of the office. Indefinitely. For urgent enquiries, or indeed any enquiries, please contact someone who is not an insane psychopath.

'For escalation please contact God, though suspect the devil will have custody [Last line only really worked if I had followed through].'

The message would appear to suggest he had meant to kill himself.

In another disturbing development, police in the former British colony were urgently investigating whether there were any more victims after photos of one of the dead women were allegedly among 2,000 pictures and videos on a smartphone used by Jutting.

The American Psycho-style killing spree came to an end on Halloween night when Jutting, from Surrey, reportedly rang police shortly after 3am.

Officers arrived at his blood-spattered 31st-floor apartment to find a 30-year-old Indonesian prostitute, named locally as Jesse Lorena Ruri, still alive despite gaping knife wounds to her throat and buttocks. She died soon after.

Hours before her murder, Miss Lorena gleefully told friends she was going to a Halloween party, adding: 'I'm going to have fun.'

Dutch DJ Robert van den Bosch, who has known Miss Lorena for four years, said he heard her talking to two friends outside a pub in Wan Chai's red light district at around 8.45pm.

He told the Daily Telegraph: 'She said 'I'm going to have fun. I'm going to a Halloween party'

'Those really were the last words. Those are the two things repeating in my head.'

Mr van den Bosch, who works at the pub, said it was a 'shock' when he learned of her brutal death the following day.

He said Miss Lorena had lived in Hong Kong for at least eight years after moving from a small island in Java to 'find a better life'.

Miss Lorena was regularly seen in the pubs and shops in the notorious red-light district, according to locals.

But Mr van den Bosch denied reports that she was a prostitute, saying she was a domestic helper who had been sending money back home to Indonesia where she was building a house.

'The terrible thing is that her house... was just finished and she said she would leave Hong Kong and go back to Indonesia to enjoy life, he added.

Eight hours after her body was found, during a forensic examination of the flat, police officers spotted a suitcase on the balcony which had two feet protruding.

Inside was the decomposing naked body of the second prostitute, 25-year-old Indonesian Sumarti Ningsih.

THE £200-A-NIGHT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO PLY THEIR TRADE IN HONG KONG'S RED-LIGHT DISTRICT Wan Chai – where Rurik Jutting is thought to have picked up £200-a-night prostitutes – is Hong Kong's notorious red light district. Just two blocks away from his apartment, hundreds of bars and clubs are teeming with mainly south-east Asian sex workers, who offer 'lady drinks' to potential customers before discreetly negotiating prices for sex. The area was made infamous by the 1960 film The World of Suzie Wong, about a Chinese prostitute. |t is understood the two women allegedly murdered by Jutting had travelled from their homes in Indonesia to seek a better life - and earn enough money to send back to their families, it is understood. Sumatra Ningsih, the 25-year-old whose decomposing body was found on the balcony of the apartment which Jutting was renting, had travelled to the former British colony only a month ago from her home in the central Java city of Cilacap. Prostitution is legal in Hong Kong, but many women working as 'freelancers' are doing so illegally as they are there on tourist visas – including Miss Ningsih. The second woman, aged 30, who has been living in Hong Kong for up to eight years, was known as Jesse Lorena Ruri. Officials who take responsibility for foreigners in the colony said that was not her real name. MailOnline understands that her real name is Seneng Mujiasih and that she comes from the large Indonesian island of Sulawesi, joining the many thousands of young Indonesian women who set out into the 'outside world' to take up a variety of jobs, many of them in the domestic service industry. 'Jesse' has told friends that she had earned enough money in her years in Hong Kong to be able to have a house built for herself and her family in Indonesia. According to a spokesman for Indonesia's Head of Development and Productivity Placement Miss Ningsih had approached a private 'placement company' in Calacap, which found her a job in Hong Kong, although it was not immediately known what that work was. Officials from several welfare and workers' organisations said last night that they were still trying to trace family members of both women who might not be aware of the grisley murders. Referring to the 25-year-old, a spokesman for the Department of Social Welfare and Manpower, said: 'We are trying to trace the address of Miss Ningsih,' Calacap, a south coast port town lying nearly 200 miles south east of Jakarta, has a population of more than a million and competition for work is said to be intense. It was cut off from air travel when the airport closed several years ago and travellers are now faced with a tedious journey along roads jammed with motor scooters. Tourists are put off from visiting because the town's most well known beaches have become fouled from leakage from shipping vessels that dock nearby. Despite the authorities' efforts to clean up the area, it is filled with hotel rooms that can be rented by the hour. One user wrote on the internet: 'The more expensive ones almost seem like normal business hotels – the cheaper ones are like mental hospitals.' Robberies and money-laundering are also rife and Chinese gangsters are said to run many of the bars. Advertisement

Her arms and legs had been bound with rope and her head was almost cut off, according to police at the scene. Her body is thought to have been there for as many as five days.

Sex toys and cocaine were also reportedly found, along with a 12-inch knife that was seized by officers.

A Hong Kong newspaper, Ming Pao, said that Jutting had been talking 'delirious nonsense' to the police when they arrived.

Jutting, who moved to Hong Kong from London in July last year, quit his high-earning job in the city, where expat bankers lead notoriously hedonistic lifestyles.

He appears to have posted to Facebook last Monday that he was embarking on a 'new journey'.

He wrote: 'Stepping down from the ledge. Burden lifted; new journey begins. Scared and anxious but also excited.

'The first step is always the hardest.'

MailOnline understands he apparently also used prostitutes in Angeles City in the Philippines.

Jutting is believed to have been in a relationship earlier this year with a woman named Ariane Guarin, known to her friends as Yanie.

The couple uploaded a number of photographs of themselves to their respective Facebook pages in July and August but appear to have broken up by early September.

On September 20, a friend took to Jutting's Facebook page to say she missed the couple and wished they were still together.

Guarin is understood to have been born in the town of Angono, in the Philippines. The town is in the province of Rizal, and is located approximately 19 miles east of the capital Manila.

According to her Facebook page, Guarin was educated at both Angono National High School and Plymouth North High School in Massachusetts, U.S.A.

It is not known when she moved to Hong Kong.

A police source said they were told Jutting had left the US bank 'within the last few days' but was unsure if his resignation came before the killing of the first of the two women.

Merrill Lynch spokesman Paul Scanlon would not say precisely when Jutting had left the bank, telling the Mail: 'We are not getting into when the guy left.

'When someone leaves the company we don't talk about it. We are just saying he left recently.'

Police in Hong Kong spent yesterday examining the contents of Jutting's smartphone as they attempted to establish whether there are any further victims.

Detectives also spread out among the bars near Jutting's apartment block in the popular Wan Chai area and called at massage parlours.

Jutting is believed to have brought a sex worker apparently known as Jessie home after a Halloween party on Friday night in the red light district, where some revellers were dressed as blood-dripping zombies.

CCTV footage from the upmarket 40-storey J Residence showed him returning with a 'sexily dressed' woman, according to local press.

After police were called to his apartment, Jutting was questioned before being driven away for further questioning, leaving a forensic team to examine the scene.

It was not until eight hours had passed that police wearing face masks went out on to the balcony and opened the black suitcase measuring three feet by 18 inches.

The body's state of decomposition led police to believe that the suitcase had been left out in Hong Kong's sweltering humidity for up to five days.

One man living in the block, where most of the residents are expatriates, said he had noticed an unusual smell in recent days.

A police source quoted by the South China Morning Post said: 'She was nearly decapitated and her hands and legs had been bound with ropes.

'She was naked and wrapped in a towel before being stuffed into the suitcase. Her passport was found at the scene.'

Assistant police commander Wan Siu-hung said officers had not discovered the second body sooner because they were collecting evidence in the living room first.

Jutting's mother Helen did not want to comment when she was approached at the ShakeAway milkshake store she runs in Woking, Surrey.

Neighbours in Cobham explained that Mrs Jutting used to run a Tumble Tots nursery.

They described the murder suspect's parents as 'normal, hard-working people' who 'kept themselves to themselves'.
