BRISTOL — — A 21-year-old city man charged with stabbing four people at a party Saturday night, killing one, told investigators he became enraged because people were criticizing him for passing gas, police said.
Marc Higgins, who was described by witnesses as being "very drunk," stormed out of the party, came back armed with three knives and started stabbing people indiscriminately, according to court documents released Monday.
Matthew Walton, 21, also of Bristol, died of stab wounds after the attack, police said. Two men and a woman also were stabbed, but all have been released from Bristol Hospital.
Higgins told police he was angry at being derided and wanted to teach people that they shouldn't trifle with him, according to the court documents.

Police say Higgins got into an argument with another person at the party, Stacy Buccheri, who chastised him for being flatulent. Witnesses told police that Buccheri slapped Higgins, who smashed a beer bottle and then stormed out of the apartment.
He returned about 45 minutes later, police said, and attacked several people on a porch with knives, including all four who were wounded.
Higgins fled by the time police arrived, but turned himself in to police a few hours later, police said.
