Horrific video captures the moment a suspected gangster kills a tourist with a single karate chop during a road rage argument in Thailand.
The 57-year-old victim, a father of one from Liverpool, England, had been riding a rented scooter through the popular Thai resort of Phuket when he became involved in a confrontation with Pektas Tuguy Tayyar, 29, on Wednesday, according to ViralPress.
Video of the confrontation shows a woman trying to hold back an enraged Tayyar, who is a member of a Swedish criminal gang, according to Sweden’s Expressen newspaper.
Tayyar suddenly unleashes a karate chop to the neck of the man, whose sunglasses fly off as he drops to the ground.
The woman — thought to be Tayyar’s girlfriend — kneels down with the victim as the killer walks off.
The victim, a dual UK-Australian citizen, was rushed to a hospital with severe head injuries and pronounced dead that day.
The fight reportedly broke out when one of the two riders cut in front of the other, but escalated in minutes with the pair squaring up in a nearby alley.
Tayyar was arrested at around 4 a.m. Thursday, with a picture showing him in ciustody in front of six arresting officers. He is a Turkish national, according the Bangkok Post.
He was denied bail and is being held during ongoing investigations, the reports said.
