Omar Wilson has been convicted of murdering Mussie Imnetu, a respected chef, following a violent altercation outside a London restaurant. The incident occurred after Imnetu had been enjoying the festivities of the post-Notting Hill Carnival. While Wilson claimed he acted in self-defense, the jury found him guilty after lengthy deliberation, noting the substantial evidence against him, including graphic CCTV footage of the attack. Imnetu, who had only been in London briefly, tragically succumbed to his injuries, leaving behind a family devastated by his loss.
During his Old Bailey trial, Wilson claimed he acted in self-defence, telling jurors: I just regret that somebody's life was taken while I was trying to defend mine.
A jury deliberated for 22 hours and 34 minutes to find him guilty of the chef's murder by a majority of 10 to two on Thursday.
Mussie was a loving husband, father, son and a respected chef. He was in London for a few days to help train his colleagues.
The defendant had, by that point, struck him to his head more than a dozen times. Mr Imnetu had struck the defendant not once.
