Body-in-the-suitcase accused Kyu Soo Kim denied two charges of murder when he appeared at the Old Bailey, in London, yesterday.
Mr Kim, 30, pleaded not guilty to the killing of Hyo Jung Jin, a 21-year-old South Korean whose gagged body was found in a case, near York, last November.
He also denied the murder of another Korean student, 22-year-old In Hea Song.
Both had lived at Mr Kim's home in Holborn, central London, but did not know each other.
Student Miss Jin was last seen boarding a coach at Victoria station, bound for Yorkshire, on November 17.
Miss Song, who was living in Poplar, east London, vanished on December 8 and was found asphyxiated.
Korean student Mr Kim was remanded in custody to appear before the court again on June 17.
