A MAN has been charged with the murder of a top chef at Notting Hill Carnival.
Mussie Imnetu, 41, was found unconscious outside a restaurant in Queensway at around 11.22pm on August 26.
The chef, who previously worked alongside Gordon Ramsay and Marcus Wareing, had suffered catastrophic brain injuries and multiple cardiac arrests.
He was rushed to a west London hospital, but died of his injuries on Friday.
Omar Wilson, 31, of Leytonstone, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court last week charged with causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent.
But he was charged with murder following Mussie's death in hospital.
Wilson, who is currently self-employed and is a director for a charity, is remanded in custody.
The horror is said to have unfolded after Mussie, who is the head chef at Arts Club in Dubai, left the restaurant's sister venue in Dover Street, Mayfair.
A CCTV image released by police shows the Swedish chef looking at his phone as he departed shortly after 1pm.
He was wearing a blue T-shirt and black jeans, and later bought a white baseball cap, Scotland Yard said.
Mussie then arrived at the Dr Power restaurant on Queensway, West London, at around 10.30pm.
He was found little under an hour later, with cops giving him emergency aid until paramedics rushed him to hospital.
But he died of his injuries on Friday.
It comes as cops probing the alleged have released CCTV images of 16 people.
Cops stressed that "none of those pictured have done anything wrong" but they wanted to speak to them to help piece together Mussie's movements.
Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, who is leading the investigation, said: “Our investigation has progressed at pace and a man has been charged in connection with the attack.
"However we are still very keen to hear from anyone who can help piece together Mussie’s movements between 1pm when we know he left The Arts Club in Dover Street, W1, and when he arrived at Dr Power restaurant, in Queensway at 10.30pm.
“We have images of a number of people who were in or near the Dr Power restaurant at the time of the attack.
"Are you one of the people pictured or do you recognise anyone? Did you hear or see something either before or after the attack that may help with the investigation.
"I would like to stress that none of those pictured have done anything wrong. Perhaps they were enjoying post carnival celebrations and may not live in the area but they could hold information that is important to the investigation and I urge them to contact us."
