HONG KONG--A 29-year-old British banker charged with murdering two women who were found dead in his apartment, with one body hidden in a suitcase, had his case adjourned until Nov. 24 to allow him to undergo two psychiatric assessments.

Rurik Jutting, who until recently was employed by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, was charged last week with two counts of murder after he called police to his Hong Kong apartment early on Nov. 1, leading to the discovery of the bodies, according to police.

In a brief hearing Monday, Mr. Jutting appeared before the court where the judge granted an additional two weeks for the analysis prior to the next stage of the proceedings.
