The 41-year-old was rushed to hospital but tragically died four days later.

Omar Wilson, 31, was originally charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent but is now accused of murder.

He appeared at the Old Bailey today where he spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address.

The court was told Mussie had been chatting to three people when Wilson, who is currently self-employed and is a director for a charity, approached and headbutted him.

The chef left but then returned 70 seconds later where he was punched five times in the head, it was said.

Prosecutor Julian Winship said: “The deceased collapsed and the defendant continued to attack him punching to the head.”

Wilson was remanded into custody to next appear for a plea hearing on November 25.

A provisional two week trial date was set for February 3 next year.

The horror 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 discovered just under an hour later and rushed to hospital.

Mussie suffered catastrophic brain injuries, including bleeds on the brain and multiple cardiac arrests.

He was visiting the UK on business from Dubai where he lives and works.

As well as collaborating with Gordon Ramsay, he had also worked for MasterChef host Marcus Wareing and Alain Ducasse.

Police last week issued images of 16 witnesses they wish to speak to as they try to piece together Mussie’s final movements.

The horror came after a mum who was with her three-year-old daughter also died after being stabbed at the carnival.
