A U.K. man was charged with murder after authorities say he killed a Swedish chef who had worked under Gordon Ramsay, in London.

Mussie Imnetu, 41, was found unconscious and suffering from an apparent head injury near Notting Hill Carnival, a festival, on Aug. 26, according to Metropolitan Police. Imnetu died four days later, and police have subsequently referred to the incident as a murder.

A man, Omar Wilson, 31, was arrested in connection with the incident and was initially charged with causing grievous bodily harm, Met Police said.

The BBC reported that Wilson appeared in court on Monday, Sept. 10, where prosecutors said he was subsequently charged with murder. Wilson has not yet entered a plea, the news agency reported.

Imnetu was visiting London from Dubai, police said, where he both lived and worked.

Citing prosecutors, the BBC reported that Imnetu was head-butted before the suspect allegedly punched him several times, including after Imnetu fell to the ground.

It is not immediately clear what preceded the alleged attack. Police are seeking several witnesses, who could have further information on what Imnetu had been doing prior to when he was killed.

Imnetu was the head chef at The Brasserie, a restaurant at The Arts Club Dubai, a members-only club. 

According to the club’s website, Imnetu previously worked under Ramsay, Alain Ducasse and Marcus Wareing.

Imnetu was a native of Eritrea and grew up in Sweden, the website said.
