A Dubai chef who was attacked near Notting Hill Carnival has died from his injuries, London's Met Police confirmed on Saturday, as they launched a murder investigation into the attack.
Swedish citizen Mussie Imnetu, 41, was remembered as a “great chef” who lived his life with “passion and excellence”.
UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper condemned the deaths of Mr Imnetu and a second person, Cher Maximen, in separate incidents at the carnival as “deeply distressing and shocking”.
Mr Imnetu was found unconscious with a head injury at the Dr Power restaurant on Queensway, Bayswater, at about 11.30pm on Monday.
He had been visiting London on a business trip from the UAE, where he was head chef of the Arts Club Dubai, having previously worked under celebrity chefs Gordon Ramsay and Alain Ducasse.
The Met Police told The National that the attack was now the subject of a murder investigation, and the force has launched further appeals for witnesses.
