Rowson was also overheard on CCTV confessing to friends he thought he had \u201ckilled someone\u201d.<\/p>\n
He was convicted of murder last month following a 12-day trial at Stafford Crown Court.<\/p>\n
Judge Avik Mukherjee said Rowson had submitted his victim to a \u201cfierce, sustained and relentless attack\u201d. He described Mr De Naray as \u201cwarm, kind-hearted, compassionate and courageous\u201d.<\/p>\n
The judge added: \u201cHe was a vulnerable and damaged person who struggled with alcohol. He was struggling every day, but he was a survivor, and was surviving every day until he met you at hospital. He was very vulnerable and was unable to protect himself.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a victim impact statement, Mr De Naray\u2019s father, a former shipping and oil executive, said his son\u2019s death had a \u201cdevastating\u201d effect on the family.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlexis, my wonderful boy, did not deserve to lose his life prematurely and in such a violent way,\u201d he said. \u201cHe was a dear son who will be forever missed. Losing him has had a life-changing effect on us as a family.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a very talented chef and worked for many years in London until he became unwell. He was gradually getting better when he sadly and unexpectedly lost his life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gordon Ramsay Holdings had hired Mr De Naray to work at the celebrity chef\u2019s Michelin-starred Claridge\u2019s restaurant, where he rose to the position of chef de partie by his early 20s.<\/p>\n
Mr De Naray left Claridge\u2019s to become head chef of Bunga Bunga in Battersea, south-west London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rowson was also overheard on CCTV confessing to friends he thought he had \u201ckilled someone\u201d.
