Cher Maximen, 32, lost her fight for life yesterday in hospital after reportedly being caught in the middle of a fight between two groups of men last Sunday.

She was stabbed with a “Rambo-style knife” and suffered a cardiac arrest, after losing 20 units of blood and a collapsed lung.

Mussie Imnetu, a 41-year-old Eritrean-born chef from Sweden, who worked with Gordon Ramsay, was found unconscious near the carnival celebrations on Monday night.

He was on a visit from his Dubai home and died on Friday having suffered a severe head injury.

Metropolitan Police Commander Charmain Brenyah said the deaths had been “devastating for both families” and confirmed they were both now being treated as murder investigations.
