An unhinged tourist from Chile beat a man to death with a fire extinguisher — all because the victim tried to calm him down as he was getting kicked out of a Florida motel, officials said.

Piero Estefano But-Castillo, 25, fatally stomped and pounded Robert Krusinowski, 55, at a Quality Inn in Kissimmee, Florida on Wednesday, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.

But-Castillo had just arrived in the United States on a 90-day tourist visa from Chile on Jan.1, Fox35 reported.

The alleged maniac flew off the handle when he was told that he would be evicted from the motel — and the victim was attempting to curb his rage.

“In an effort to calm him down, our victim … was unarmed, just trying to de-escalate the situation,” Sheriff Marcus Lopez said at a press conference Friday, according to the report.

Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the scene to find But-Castillo stomping on the already severely beaten older man.

Krusinowski was known around the motel as a longtime resident who would help motel staffers with maintenance tasks, Fox35 reported.

The victim suffered severe head trauma and died at the scene.

“These savage attacks aren’t going to go unpunished here,” Sheriff Lopez said at the press conference.

But-Castillo is being held without bond and faces charges including premeditated murder, resisting an officer with violence, battery, and criminal mischief.
