A British mother has told of the terrifying moment a crazed Norwegian bodybuilder broke into her hotel room completely naked and throttled her husband as he tried to protect her.
Bandhna Bajaj said she grabbed her two-year-old son and ran for her life as unhinged martial arts expert Roger Bullman smashed his way through a wooden partition separating their balconies and strangled British IT expert, Amitpal Singh Bajaj.
Bullman, 54, has admitted to the killing on August 21 at the five-star Centara Grand Hotel in the Thai resort of Phuket. He has gone on the run after being given bail and police in Thailand have launched a huge manhunt.
Mrs Bajaj slammed the decision by the Thai authorities to release Bullman him only 12 hours after he throttled her husband with his bare hands.

Reliving the moment father-of-one Mr Bajaj was attacked, his widow said: 'Bullman suddenly appeared in our room. He was red in the face, fully naked, and charged quickly towards us while making animalistic sounds.
She rejected police claims that Bullman had been 'singing opera' and this had led her husband to complain to the hotel. She insisted the first time they saw him was when he was charging towards their bed.
Her phone log showed she placed a call at 3.58am and made a second call a few minutes later to tell the reception that Bullman had broken down the wooden partition separating the rooms.
Her third call was made as Bullman entered the room.
Security officials arrived to find Mr Bajaj lying prostrate outside their room with Bullman continuing to hold him in a choke hold.
Police arrested a crying Bullman minutes later and he was charged with manslaughter before being allowed his freedom on bail.
Police in Thailand say they are conducting a huge manhunt for Bullman who has vanished after failing to appear at Phuket Provincial Court as part of his bail conditions.
Bullman's lawyer Sulman Hussain, who is based in Oslo, said he had been unable to reach his client and had no clue to his whereabouts. He said Bullman had told him he intended to appear at his trial and tell a court how he came to kill Mr Bajaj.
