A 29-year-old British man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the deaths of two women in Hong Kong.
Police found the victims in an apartment block in the Wan Chai district after a call from the man at 03:42am on Saturday (19:42 GMT).
One woman, aged 25 to 30, had stab wounds to her neck and buttock and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The body of a second woman, who had neck injuries, was found inside a suitcase on the balcony.
'Top-tier bank'
Hong Kong Police said they had detained the man and retrieved a knife from the apartment, in the J Residence block.
Assistant district commander Wan Siu-hung told reporters the woman whose body was in the suitcase had been dead "for quite some time".
The South China Morning Post reported that the man worked for a "top-tier global bank" and that the two women, of Asian or South East Asian origin, were believed to be "sex workers".
A resident of the 40-storey block, who said his fellow occupants were mainly expats, told the newspaper: "It was a shock because you would never expect something like this to happen in Hong Kong."
A spokesperson for the UK Foreign Office said: "We can confirm that a British national has been arrested in Hong Kong.
"We are in touch with the local police and stand ready to provide consular assistance."
Post-mortem examinations are being conducted to determine the causes of the women's deaths.
British banker turned out to be a killer

Apparently his name was 'Rurik George Caton Jutting' 
An old Etonian toff name if ever there was one.

British banker Rurik Jutting suspected of 'American Psycho' killings in Hong Kong
A British man has been charged with the murder of two women who were found naked inside his luxury Hong Kong apartment.
Rurik George Caton Jutting, 29, who had been suspected of being behind the horrific American Psycho-style killings of two Asian women in Hong Kong is a 29-year-old Cambridge University graduate.
He was arrested in the early hours of Saturday after the bodies of two women, reported by local media to be sex workers, were found by police in his 31st floor apartment in the former British colony.
Mr Jutting, who is an employee of Bank of America Merril Lynch, apparently vanished from his place of work around a week ago, a co-worker told The Telegraph. The South China Morning Post reported that he had recently resigned.
Police found the two dead women, thought to be a 25-year-old from Indonesia and a 30-year-old from the Philippines, at Mr Jutting's apartment in Hong Kong's Wan Chai district at around 3.45am on Saturday.
On Sunday night the South China Morning Post said police had identified the Indonesian victim as 25-year-old Sumarti Ningsih.
The woman arrived in the former British colony last month on a tourist visa, the newspaper said. She was identified with the help of an Indonesian cousin who works in Hong Kong as a maid.
The second victim, who local media said was from the Philippines, worked as a "part-time disc jockey in a pub," the South China Morning Post added.
Police believe Ningsih, who was reportedly found naked, partially decapitated and inside a suitcase on Mr Jutting's balcony, had been dead for up to five days. Her body was in an advanced state of decomposition and one neighbour in the J Residence building said he had noticed "a stink in the building like a dead animal".
The Filipina victim had sustained multiple stab wounds and was found lying on the floor inside the £3,000-a-month flat.
Mr Jutting, who studied history and law at Cambridge University and was a member of its rowing club, was seen returning to his flat in the company of a scantily-clad woman at just after midnight on Friday night, Hong Kong's Mingpao newspaper claimed.
At 3.42am the British banker allegedly called the police. They arrived a short while later and took him into custody, the newspaper added.
Forensic teams also reportedly found sex toys, a small quantity of cocaine and a smartphone that belonged to Mr Jutting at the apartment.
"Police are investigating whether there are more victims," a police source told the South China Morning Post on Sunday.
Takungpao, another local newspaper, said police were also investigating the possibility of a second suspect.
The reported crime scene recalled Bret Easton Ellis' book "American Psycho" where numerous barbaric crimes occur in the apartment of a Wall Street investment banker.
Wan Chai, where Mr Jutting lived, is a skyscraper-packed neighbourhood on Hong Kong island that is popular among affluent young expats and is also home to a notorious red light district.
"He always seemed so sad - he never said hello to any of us or smiled," said an employee at Mr Jutting's building, who said he had seen the British man being taken away by police at around 4am on Saturday.
"I can't say any more because of security," added the employee - who declined to be named but works at the building, which is just two blocks from Wan Chai's main drag of strip clubs and prostitution houses.
Police investigators were visiting Wan Chai's pubs and vice dens on Sunday in an attempt to piece together the lives of the two women, the South China Morning Post said.
Mr Jutting studied at Winchester College, an independent boys school in Hampshire, before continuing his studies at Cambridge University where he became secretary of the history society.
He appears to have worked for Barclays in London between 2008 and 2010 before moving to the United States to work for Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
The company seconded him to Hong Kong in the summer of 2013. His last known address in the UK was in Wapping.
Prior to his arrest, Mr Jutting had been in a relationship with an Asian woman called "Yanie", according to posts on his Facebook page. A message posted on the social network read: "Money does buy happiness".
One co-worker at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch in Hong Kong, who declined to be named, described Mr Jutting as someone who "talked very loud and made ---- loads of money".
Another employee said Mr Jutting was known for his brains and his salary.
"He's very smart," said the employee, who declined to be named. "The money he is making is as much as an MD [managing director]. He does business in multiple areas."
Mr Jutting’s parents, Graham, 53, and Helen, 52, live in a large red brick gothic-style property at the bottom of a country lane on the outskirts of the smart commuter town of Cobham, Surrey.
A man, thought to be Mr Jutting's father, looked shattered as he told reporters on Sunday morning: "Please respect our privacy".
Set behind security gates, the property is in a secluded spot surrounded by woodland. The family moved there in 2002 from nearby Chertsey.
Mr Jutting’s father is an engineer and his mother, a teacher, runs Tumble Tots classes for toddlers in Surrey.
The couple are keen beekeepers. They have one other son, Auryn, 27, who attended Oxford Brookes University and is believed to live in Brighton.
Close enough. Winchester College --> Cambridge.

Both victims are Southeast Asians (Filipino and Indonesian).
It's very rare to find local Chinese doing that kind of work in Hong Kong.

I guess it was not a shock. This stuff happens in the Philippines, Okinawa and other places where these sort of individuals run amok with limited oversight.
Bad thing HK has no death sentence for this particular individual (if found guilty by a jury), and another bad thing, HK will have to feed this person until he dies of natural causes (probably includes injuries incurred from being someone's el-manita).
This comment is rather harsh and unwelcome, and no laughing matter, to be honest. No person deserves to die in the hands of a maniac. Just consider the socio-economic/political conditions that might have put those unfortunate women in that sort of business/trade out of their own will?
I anticipate the harshest possible sentence to this particular convict and condolences on the victims' families and loved ones.
Taiwan is pretty much a CCTV nation, as well. In some quarters, it just gets crazy. But it is a good thing; overdoing security is better than under-doing it. I had, however, many Western classmates who were complaining about the cameras all around the campus.
