A British banker accused of killing two Indonesian sex workers tortured one for three days with pliers and sex toys before forcing her to lick the toilet, a court heard. Rurik Jutting, 31, was high on cocaine when he filmed himself slitting the women's throats in a 'horrifying' attack in his luxury Hong Kong flat in 2014, prosecutors said. The Cambridge University graduate today pleaded not guilty to murdering Sumarti Ningsih, 23 and Seneng Mujiasih, 26, whose bodies were found in his apartment. His attempt to plead guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter was rejected by prosecutors at the High Court today. Prosecutor John Reading told the court how Jutting subjected Ms Ningsih to cruel acts of violence using his belt, sex toys, a pair of pliers and his fists.

'Now you will live in fear of us': Mosul youths turn the tables on ISIS and pin leaflets to their homes warning them of their doom as terror group's hold on the city crumbles
Youths in Mosul have plastered leaflets on the homes of Islamic State militants and threatened to rise up against them as the terror group's hold on the city crumbles. It came as Iraq's prime minister said the battle to seize back control of ISIS's last major stronghold in the country was going 'faster than planned'. Frustrated teens in the city vowed to avenge the deaths inflicted by the terrorists and covered the homes of ISIS leaders with posters, one of which said: 'Now you will live in fear of us'. These leaflets, many of which were put up on Wednesday night, demonstrate the rising popular resistance against ISIS in Mosul.

The Woodward Avenue Presbyterian Church in Detroit was built in 1911 at a cost in modern terms of almost $2million. Yet the structure, which is in an English Gothic design has been allowed to slowly decline.
