Fifty years old and hasn't even learnt how to control his temper. Hope the victim makes a speedy recovery.

[Boater]

will they charge him with attempted murder? .... long jail sentance ( unless he has Tea money )

[balo]

Lets hope he is a Norwegian with a big wallet.

Or else he will spend a long time in Thai prison.

[Haydn]

personally I think he should do time -- 20 years comes to mind -- and not buy his way out -- then maybe he would learn to control his temper

[PattayaBunLover]

Another one of the quality expats living in that "exclusive" neighborhood on the "Hill."

[anothertorres]

dan. at 50 years old, possibly spending the rest of his life in a thai prison all over wanting to hear his music on loud? well played, my friend, well played.

[miatai]

a prison sentence sounds right as suggested here by others.

[Who, me ?]

Serves him right...I hope his new neighbors will be as nice as he's been to this poor chap. Hope the victim makes a full recovery....

where did the 50 yo norwegian think he was.....a fjord in the norwegian mountains ???????

And do you think they do this in the fjords?

Careful now,

because if you say no, why mention it in the first place?

If you say yes, you prove what a moron you are.

Go back and keep posting quotes from your history books, as you do in most of your posts.

Oh, maybe look up what they do in the Norwegian fjords.

[balo]

In the Norwegian fjords we do a lot of things to keep us busy.

No weapons or knifes here, it can be dangerous.

But riding a bike backwards and upside down 1000m over a Norwegian fjord is one of the main activities we like to do when we're bored.

MANAGER THROWS MORE LIGHT ON NEW NORDIC HOTEL STABBING INCIDENT

In the stabbing case involving Norwegian, Per Christian Lindgaard, PDN has now gained access to further crucial information in the matter. According to the Norwegian website F-B.no, who managed to glean more information by questioning the hotel-apartment complex manager, Kurt Svend Heim, in Norwegian.

It has now become clear that in the stabbing incident, on September 20, at the New Nordic Hotel in Soi Pratumnuk 4, , where the arrested man lived, that the arrested Norwegian man from Fredrikstad, Mr.Per Christian Lindgaard, had been bothering his neighbours with continual noise throughout the day, before it ended in a bloody drama with the stabbing of an apartment employee, Mr. Jun Kumcha-ee, who was simply performing his duty.

There had been trouble with Lindgaard throughout the day, and four times previously on the same day the police had been summoned to the apartment. “This was because we needed assistance,” stated Kurt Svend Heim, who had come to the scene soon after the Norwegian man had attacked the unfortunate victim.

“The complaints involved threats, excessive noise, and there was also alcohol abuse involved, so we had police standing outside the apartment block, on alert in the event that anything happened,” said Kurt Svend Heim.

Despite many visits by the police, Lindgaard turned up the music system to reach new heights in the evening. “It was very loud, not only just before the stabbing incident, but pretty much throughout the day, and the music kept half of the street awake,” said the manager of the apartments. He went on to say that “The knifing incident took place in the hallway outside the apartment, and while we had four people there trying to calm him down, Lindgaard came running out from the kitchen with two big kitchen knives.” In the stabbing which followed, one of the three knife wounds was to the victim’s abdomen and nearly proved fatal. While the manager attempted to calm the situation, the police, who had been called ten minutes earlier, came to the spot minutes later, and paramedics were quickly called.

“Within two minutes over 30 Norwegians congregated on the spot,” said Svend Heim, and it appears that Lindgaard must have owned the apartment in the building for several years. The accommodation complex is very large, consisting of 18-buildings with a total of 325 housing units, of which the majority of residents are Norwegian owners or tenants. Svend Heim stressed that Sunday's knife drama was not a common occurrence in this large complex. “We have 12-security staff here, and when the incident occurred, we had two security guards and two other employees within this particular apartment block, and they did their best to try and calm Lindgaard down.

Since the attack, the apartment manager has already paid several visits to the hospital to see his knifed electrician, and when he talked with him on Monday, Svend Heim confirmed that the victim had received three stab that were all pretty deep, but fortunately, it seems that he is out of danger. He was operated upon soon after he arrived at the hospital and spent three hours on the operating table. “We are glad that the police have dealt with the perpetrator and the case seems quite straightforward.

The parties involved have been at the police station and all made statements, and we are glad that it has not unduly upset our staff," he added. The complex has 60-local employees, and now an investigation will determine the circumstances leading up to the circumstances of the stabbing. Svend Heim stated, - “The perpetrator of the crime seemed calm, and it looks like he fully understood what he had done.”
