Bar girls sit outside a night club in Hong Kong's Wan Chai district Wednesday, November 5, 2014. For generations of Western men, Hong Kong's Wan Chai neighborhood captured all the mystery and hedonism of this financial capital known around the world as the Pearl of the Orient. Prostitutes, strippers and bar girls entertained visiting sailors and businessmen at all hours in these neon-filled blocks, even as working-class Hong Kongers went about their business in the streets around them. Now, the neighborhood has been jolted by a shocking crime, the gruesome murders of two young Indonesian women, with a British banker the sole suspect. Even as the music and drinks continue flowing in Wan Chai's bars, people said Wednesday that the murders now haunted them and these freewheeling streets. (Photo by Vincent Yu/AP Photo)
