A chef who worked with Gordon Ramsay has died after being attacked at Notting Hill Carnival. Mussie Imnetu, 41, was visiting the UK from Dubai.

He was found unconscious with a head injury in Queensway. He was given emergency first aid until paramedics arrived. Mussie later succumbed to his "catastrophic head injuries", in a west London hospital, Met Police have confirmed.

Omar Wilson, 31, of Leytonstone, was charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

He has been remanded in custody at Southwark Crown Court until September, and Met Police have confirmed his charges will be reviewed.

Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, said: “In light of Mussie’s death, the offence will be reviewed in conjunction with the Crown Prosecution Service."

He continued: "Mussie’s family, friends and colleagues in London, Dubai, Sweden and Eritrea are inconsolable after receiving the worst news imaginable – our thoughts are with them and they are being supported by specialist officers.

“Our investigation is well advanced, but we are still very keen to hear from anyone who can help piece together Mussie’s movements between 13:00hrs when we know he left The Arts Club in Dover Street, W1 and when he arrived at Dr Power restaurant, in Queensway at 22:30hrs.

“If you visited the restaurant between 22:00hrs and 23:30hrs on Monday night or were in the area and saw something, regardless of the reason you were there, please do get in touch.

“Our focus is on what happened to Mussie. Did you speak with him at the restaurant or do you have any images or videos between these times that could assist the investigation? The attack happened around 23:20hrs. Customers at the venue tried to help stop the attack; we need to speak with these people and I urge them to contact us.”

Anyone with information should call the police on 101, messages @MetCC on X or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111 giving the reference 8020/26AUG.

Imnetu's death comes just hours after Cher Maximen, who had been at the carnival last Sunday with her three-year-old daughter, died in hospital on Saturday morning.
