( CNN ) When Hong Kong police answered a call in the early hours of a Saturday morning last November , they encountered a grisly scene and an alleged crime that shocked the city . One woman was lying on the floor with cuts to her neck and buttocks . Another was stuffed inside a suitcase on the balcony . A former banker , 29-year-old Briton Rurik Jutting , was charged with two counts of murder . On Thursday , a court hearing that was to determine whether there was enough evidence to proceed to trial was adjourned until May . Here 's what we know so far about the victims and their alleged attacker . Jutting allegedly lived at the murder scene , an upmarket apartment in the middle of Wan Chai , an inner-city suburb that 's home to an eclectic mix of late-night bars , residential tower blocks and local markets selling groceries and assorted cheap goods . In the early hours of Saturday morning , November 1 , police say Jutting called them to the apartment . There they found a woman lying on the blood-splattered floor , later identified as 29-year-old Seneng Mujiasih . During a search of the apartment , officers uncovered another body hidden in a suitcase on the balcony . It 's alleged 25-year-old Sumarti Ningsih was killed on October 27 , five days before her body was found . Sumarti Ningsih was from Cilacap , in Central Java , and was the mother of a five-year-old girl . In a statement , her cousin , Jumiati , described her as `` just an ordinary woman from Indonesia '' who , like many others , was `` forced to work abroad to feed her poor family and make her dream comes ( sic ) true . '' `` She wanted to work as professional so she can earn money and dignity for her family , '' Jumiati wrote . `` She is good girl and did not deserve this treatment . '' According to the Asian Migrant Coordinating Body , Ningsih was visiting Hong Kong as a tourist and had been due to fly back to Jakarta the day after her body was found . Last year , her grieving father , Ahmad Khaliman , told Agence France-Presse that his daughter had worked in Hong Kong as a domestic helper between 2011 and 2013 . She 'd since returned on two occasions , Khaliman said . He said the family had been shocked by her murder , and called for the perpetrator to be executed . `` If not , I can not accept it . He has already taken my daughter 's life , so he has to pay with his life , '' he told CNN affiliate Trans7 . Seneng Mujiasih had more recently worked as a domestic worker in Hong Kong but had overstayed her visa , according to the Asian Migrant Co-ordinating Body . Also known as Jesse Lorena , Mujiasih was from the city of Muna in Sulawesi province , in southeast Indonesia . Other than that , few details are known about her life and why she stayed on in Hong Kong . After news of their death spread , fellow domestic workers held a vigil in Hong Kong 's Victoria Park . Around 200 people gathered to sing and pray , and lay flowers besides photos of the two women . The victims ' bodies were buried after being repatriated to Indonesia in November . Before being taken into custody , Rurik Jutting lived in the upmarket J Residence in Wan Chai . He was detained at the scene , where police found the bodies of two women and seized a knife during a search of the premises . It 's unclear when Jutting left his job as a trader at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch ; a BoA spokesman would only confirm that a man of the same name had worked there in the past . Jutting 's profile on LinkedIn said he haad been employed at the bank 's structured equity finance and trading division in Hong Kong since July 2013 . Before that , he worked in the same unit in London for three years . According to the profile , Jutting previously worked in capital markets for the British bank Barclays and studied history and law at the prestigious University of Cambridge , between 2004 and 2008 . As part of the trial process , tests were conducted to determined if Jutting was psychologically fit to enter a plea . He was . The case was then adjourned to allow for more than 200 pieces of forensic and DNA evidence to be analyzed .
