A British tourist in Thailand was allegedly choked to death in a hotel fight after telling a fellow guest to keep the noise down.

Amitpal Singh Bajaj, 34, complained after hearing rowdy noises coming from the room next door while he, his wife and young child were trying to sleep in Phuket, Thailand.

The family asked the hotel staff to intervene after the noise continued for two hours in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Security guards visited the room of Roger Bullman, 53, from Norway, but the noise is said to have worsened with the Norwegian singing on the balcony.

Father of one Bajaj then allegedly grabbed a steak knife from his room and decided to confront Bullman at 4 a.m. Wednesday, according to The Phuket News.

But troublemaker Bullman, who was drunk, allegedly refused to lower his noise and continued yelling and singing, according to the cops. He and Bajaj started quarreling, which later turned into a fight.

The suspect told police that Bajaj first stabbed him in his left shoulder before he used his martial-art skills to grip the British man in a chokehold and continued choking him to death as Bajaj’s horrified wife looked on.

Bullman was arrested at Karon police station that morning.

He told the police that he acted out instinctively and was not intentionally trying to kill Bajaj.

Police Major Ekkachai Siri of the Phuket Tourist Police said that the Norwegian has been charged for ”causing harm resulting in death.”

“Mr. Bullman was drunk and causing so much noise that hotel security came to warn Mr. Bullman twice,” the police chief said. ”Mr. Bajaj carried a steak knife into Mr. Bullman’s room. They started fighting, and Mr. Bajaj stabbed Mr. Bullman in left shoulder.”

The chief added that ”Bullman has been released on bail by the Phuket Provincial Court. He now must remain in Thailand until the charge against has been heard in court. Meanwhile, British consular officials are in contact with Mr. Bajaj’s family and already inform them about his tragic death.”

Police Major Techin Deethongon from Karon police station said that Bullman was singing on his balcony between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., which caused the argument.

“The husband came out to complain about the loud noise because the couple has a young child,” he said. “They then started wrangling.”

“We are supporting the family of a British man following his death in Phuket, and are in contact with the Thai authorities,” a Foreign Office spokesman confirmed to The Sun.
