Horrific murder of 2 sex workers in Hong Kong

[Hagane00]

A British banker was tonight charged by Hong Kong police in connection with the murders of two prostitutes.

Cambridge-educated Rurik Jutting, 29, is currently being held by police after the bodies of two sex workers were found in his apartment and will appear in court on Monday.

Officers were stunned to find two women slaughtered in what detectives described as a “sea of blood”.

Police are believed to be examining 2,000 photographs found on his mobile phone - some of them apparently graphic images of the dead women - to identify other potential victims.

Absolutely disgusting!!!

This highlights how dangerous it can be for sex workers (albeit an extreme case).
Yet the idiiots in Storemont and TORL etc dont even want 2 girls to be able to work together for safety, even though 2 may not be enough to keep themselves safe.

!!!Please ladies be safe!!!

People target sex workers because they think that they are more likely to get away with it. That's the sad reality.

These women appear to have been murdered several days apart, although both bodies were in the same apartment. This psycho was clearly plausible enough to hold down a responsible job.

Although this is a very isolated incident, it does illustrate the dangers of outcalls and the importance of sex workers keeping in daily contact with someone trustworthy.

It is indeed horrific, one of the bodies was found inside a suitcase. There were interviewing neighbours on the news last night, it is apparently an upmarket area of the city & no-one suspected a thing.

Sex work already carries a stigma, so yes certain sectors of the public will dismiss this article & consider it less horrific as they assume that because sex workers were killed, they knew the risks involved in working in this industry. I'm sorry to say this, but I doubt very much that, this particular sector of the public will ever change their opinion.

Such an absolute dispairing thought, the fact that this particular industry will always carry a certain degree of stigma and discrimination

Omg that is unbelievable what goes on in peoples heads to do something so horrific

People target sex workers because they think that they are more likely to get away with it. That's the sad reality.

This is taken from Melissa Gira Grant's book, an example of the horrifying reasoning used.

SWOP–USA gathered again in San Francisco in December 2003, on the patch of grass at the foot of the steps of City Hall, to hold a vigil for forty-eight victims of violence. After twenty years, a married, middle-aged, white man had finally confessed to killing these women in the Pacific Northwest. Gary Leon Ridgway, the Green River Killer, said:


"I picked prostitutes as my victims because I hate most prostitutes and I did not want to pay them for sex. I also picked prostitutes as victims because they were easy to pick up without being noticed. I knew they would not be reported missing right away and might never be reported missing. I picked prostitutes because I thought I could kill as many of them as I wanted without getting caught."


He told police:


"I thought I was doing you guys a favor, killing prostitutes. Here you guys can’t control them, but I can."

another reason to hate a banker.

Hopefully they'll throw the book at him. Maybe that might deter others from attacking sex workers because they think they can get away with it as it won't be reported.

Really some very twisted people out there.
