GUILTY Hong Kong - Jesse Ruri, 29, & Sumarti Ningsih, 25, murdered, Wan Chai, 31 Oct 2014

[Elainera]

Defense started their case Monday.

Forensic psychiatrist Richard Latham, who spent hours interviewing 31-year-old Rurik Jutting after his arrest, told the court the accused had a "narcissistic personality disorder."

He also had developed a "sex sadism disorder," Latham said.
"(It) started in *advertiser censored*, with people behaving in a consensual way to begin with, then it was non-consensual, pushing further and culminating in dramatic and horrific acts that you have seen here," he told the court.

Describing Jutting as a "highly intelligent man," Latham said the defendant had a "high opinion of himself."
"He describes himself in terms of boastful, showing off achievements and how good he is. For example, he said he didn't get a first at Cambridge, but that was because his examiners didn't understand him," he said.

At the time of the murders, Latham said Jutting's ability to control himself was reduced by his narcissistic personality disorder.
"It affects his sense of entitlement and his ability to empathize with another person," he said. "That interacted with the intoxication and it is this, I think, that reduced his ability to control his behavior."

In his final assessment, Latham said Jutting's ability to control had been "impaired" but would not say whether or not the former banker was not guilty of murder due to diminished responsibility.

According to Latham, Jutting's interest in sexual violence developed over a period of time.
"In May 2011 he read a review of sex workers into extreme practices ... in 2013 he was looking for more submissive sex workers," he told the court. "Torture, rape, slavery ... made him sexually excited."

Jutting admitted he had previously raped two women and described his *advertiser censored* habits.
"Search terms, BDSM library, slave, captive, and just about to read a story about someone being raped, captured, tortured," he said in a video made on his phone.
In others he talked about how imprisonment and torture were a "sexual fantasy" of his, while in another he said he shouldn't have tried to translate them into real life.

Lawyers for Jutting closed their case today with two medical experts their only witnesses in the murder trial.

Dr Latham and Professor Perkins were the only people called by Jutting's team at the court in Hong Kong.

There were no character witnesses or family members who spoke on behalf of the British banker on trial for the murder of two prostitutes in October 2014.

Prosecutors will close their case on Wednesday with testimony from their own psychiatrists who examined Jutting.

He is not a bad looking guy. But he also looks cocky and arrogant. Something about him that I don't like at all (I mean apart from the fact that he's a sick killer, of course).
