HONG KONG — A 29-year-old British banker was charged with two counts of murder on Monday in the killings of two women at his high-rise apartment.

The Briton, Rurik George Caton Jutting, did not enter a plea when he was brought to Hong Kong’s Eastern Magistrates’ Courts on Monday morning. The police discovered the bodies early Saturday in his 31st-floor apartment, which is in a popular nightclub district. One woman’s throat had been slashed, and the other woman, dead for days, had been stuffed in a suitcase on his balcony, according to police statements and court documents.

Mr. Jutting was identified as an employee of Bank of America Merrill Lynch, according to an employee who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. Paul Scanlon, a Hong Kong-based spokesman for the bank, said a person with Mr. Jutting’s name had recently left the company.

With days of beard growth and wearing a black T-shirt with “New York” on the front and back, Mr. Jutting was expressionless as the charges were read. He was not handcuffed, and continually rubbed his left forefinger against his right wrist as he stood, separated from the rest of the courtroom by metal bars.
