There were two tragic deaths last weekend that were connected with this year’s Notting Hill carnival. One victim was a 32-year-old woman, Cher Maximen. She was at carnival with family and friends, including her three-year-old daughter, on 25 August and was stabbed on Golborne Road, squarely within the carnival route. It seems that she had sought to intervene in a fight.
Another victim was Mussie Imnetu, 41, a successful chef visiting London from Dubai. He was found unconscious with a head injury outside a restaurant on Queensway on bank holiday Monday. This was after carnival had officially ended and away from the route.
