Around a minute later, Wilson punched Mr Imnetu five times in the head, continued to repeatedly punch him while he was on his hands and knees, and then kicked him in the head.
Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie said Mr Imnetu "was in London for a few days to help train his colleagues and went out that evening to enjoy the post-Notting Hill Carnival atmosphere, where tragically he was violently assaulted".
Speaking in court, Wilson said he felt "trapped" and "scared" at the time because he believed Mr Imnetu was holding a broken bottle - which turned out not to be the case.
