An Australian man has been jailed in Thailand for the shooting murder of an American tourist during a drunken quarrel.
William Douglas, 65, admitted to shooting Gary Poretsky, 46, in March this year after the two got into a drunken argument at a restaurant in the northern city of Chiang Mai.
Poretsky, from Hawaii, suffered three gunshot wounds to his face and chest.
A court yesterday sentenced Douglas to two years and nine months in jail after deciding the murder was not premeditated.
Douglas was originally from Perth, but had been a long time resident of Thailand.
He will serve out his sentence in Chiang Mai.
