Omar Wilson, 31, is accused of murdering Mussie Imnetu, 41, outside a restaurant near the Notting Hill Carnival. CCTV footage shows Wilson launching a vicious attack on Mr Imnetu, punching and kicking him repeatedly. After the assault, Wilson allegedly went clubbing and confessed to an associate that he had 'messed up.'
A self-confessed 'monster' brutally beat a top chef to death near the Notting Hill Carnival and went clubbing instead of seeking help, a court has heard. Omar Wilson, 31, punched and kicked Mussie Imnetu, 41, outside Dr Power restaurant in Queensway, west London, on the evening of 26 August last year. The violent incident, captured on CCTV , began when Wilson approached Mr Imnetu and headbutted him.
About a minute later, Wilson unleashed a barrage of five punches to Mr Imnetu's head, causing him to fall to the ground. Wilson continued the assault, repeatedly punching Mr Imnetu as he lay helpless on his hands and knees, before delivering a vicious kick to his head. Prosecutor Jacob Hallam KC told jurors, 'The defendant had, by that point, struck him to his head more than a dozen times. Mr Imnetu had struck the defendant not once.' Following the attack, Wilson allegedly went clubbing at the Ministry of Sound and confided in an associate that he 'crossed the line.' In a message, he allegedly admitted, 'There's a monster in me, man, and it's just like sometimes it comes out. And I think I've messed up now, I've messed up, everything's finished.' When asked about the carnival, he chillingly replied, 'Can't lie. I did the hands ting and I think it's a manslaughter.' Wilson also allegedly discarded his sunglasses and keys at the scene. Mr Imnetu, who worked at The Arts Club, was rushed to the hospital but never regained consciousness, dying four days later. Following his arrest on 28 August 2024, Wilson claimed to police that he had struck the victim in 'self-defence.' He alleged that Mr Imnetu was acting erratically, harassing girls, and had a bottle. However, after being shown the CCTV footage of the brutal assault, Wilson reportedly exclaimed, 'It seems excessive now' and watching it was 'f*****g disgusting.' Wilson, of Napier Road, Leytonstone, east London, has pleaded not guilty to murder. The trial is ongoing
