Jutting, 31, has pleaded not guilty to two murder charges, instead pleading guilty to manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility – which was rejected by the prosecution. Cambridge graduate Jutting is accused of murdering Sumarti Ningsih, 23, and Seneng Mujiasih, 26, two years ago, slashing their throats after saying he would pay them for sex. The prosecution grilled defence witness Richard Latham, a forensic psychiatrist from London, as they sought to argue Jutting was in control of his decisions at that time. “I think it’s wrong to say that he had a completely ordinary level of control,” Latham told the court, saying that killing Ningsih had not been part of Jutting’s plan. “I think he was constantly pushing himself into unknown territory with the amount he was using,” he told Reading.
