Victim’s Illustrious Career and Fatal Injuries
Mussie Imnetu, a distinguished chef who had worked with Gordon Ramsay and Marcus Wareing, was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries four days later without regaining consciousness.
Omar Wilson’s Alleged Confession and Defense Claim
Following the attack, Wilson allegedly messaged an associate, stating, “There’s a monster in me… I think I’ve messed up now, I’ve messed up, everything’s finished.”
When questioned by the police after his arrest on August 28, Wilson claimed he acted in self-defense, alleging that Imnetu was behaving erratically and harassing women while holding a bottle. However, upon being shown CCTV footage of the brutal assault, Wilson admitted that his actions “seem excessive now.”

Prosecutor Jacob Hallam KC informed jurors that after leaving Imnetu gravely injured on the ground, Wilson went clubbing at the Ministry of Sound. Despite pleading not guilty to murder, Wilson’s actions remain under scrutiny as the trial continues at the Old Bailey.
The trial has been adjourned until Wednesday, with further developments expected as the case unfolds. Stay updated for more details on this tragic event.
