Sonya Dyer, who dubs herself "Sonya Milkshake," reportedly feels "under siege" following her ex's arrest
The former glamour model girlfriend of prostitute murder suspect Rurik Jutting reportedly feels "distraught" and "under siege" after his arrest.
Sonya Dyer, who dubs herself "Sonya Milkshake," lived with the Cambridge-educated banker during a four-year relationship before he moved to Hong Kong, where he yesterday appeared in court charged with the murder of two sex workers.
"She's cut up," a friend said.
"She thinks it could have been her.
"She’s feeling really confused.
Speaking to Mail Online, the pal added: "She feels under siege and very distraught.
"She has to be allowed to go through this process."
Jutting who was arrested on Saturday, paid hookers £1,000 a time throwing drug and booze-fuelled parties costing up to £10,000 a night, it has been claimed.
The former public schoolboy , 29, was stuck in a cycle of drugs, vice and depression, sources alleged, as he appeared in court yesterday on charges of murdering two women.
Jutting had changed his out of office email sign-off to “please contact someone who is not an insane psychopath” and quit his job as a city trader days before two dead women were found in his red light district flat.
He suffered depression, even attempting suicide, after a fiancee allegedly cheated on him and he felt huge pressure at work, said friends.
And he was reportedly seen grabbing Jesse Lorena by the throat on the street hours before she died.
Police found her, slashed to death with a knife and Sumarti Ningsih, 25, stuffed in a suitcase.
One woman, who dated Jutting for around two months, said: “He was always stressed because of work.
"He told me that he had financial problems.
"Last October he told me that he tried to kill himself.
"He was depressed.”
Jutting was arrested in the early hours of Saturday after apparently calling police to report an incident.
Hong Kong police are probing claims from another sex worker he booked Ms Ningsih for £1,000 for a sex session before her mutilated body was found wrapped in a carpet and stuffed in the case.
One girl claimed she saw the banker struggling with Jesse on Halloween, hours before she died.
Mika, who works at the Wild Cats bar, said: “I saw Jesse come out of New Makati and he came over and grabbed her by the neck.
"He was strangling her.
"Then they just walked off like nothing happened.”
A former acquaintance of Jutting said he was “devastated” after his fiance, a fellow trader, cheated on him.
The source, who declined to be named, said: “He proposed, but she ended up cheating on him.
"He broke it off – I think he took her infidelity quite badly.”
Watch Jutting being driven away from court
Jutting, an ex pupil at £34,000-a-year Winchester College, left a chilling out of office email at his Bank of America Merrill Lynch saying: “I am out of the office.
"Indefinitely.
"For urgent enquiries, or indeed any enquiries, please contact someone who is not an insane psychopath.
“For escalation please contact God, though suspect the devil will have custody [Last line only really worked if I had followed through].”
Jutting appeared in Eastern magistrates court in Hong Kong charged with the murders yesterday.
In chains and dressed in black he spoke to confirm he understood the charges.
He did not ask for bail and will stay in custody until his next court appearance next week.
