Celebrity chef allegedly beat to death by diners

Police say disgruntled diners allegedly attacked a Japanese celebrity-chef, because of a meal of noodles that they thought had been poorly prepared.

57-year-old Miki Nozawa, who was working in a restaurant on the island of Sylt in the North Sea just off the coast of Germany, died as a result of injuries he suffered in the attack, according to authorities.

They say it was a dish of fried noodles with beef and vegetables.

Nozawa's wife thinks the attack might have been racially-motivated  and says the accused attackers used an ethnic slur for Asians during the attack.

According to one report, police let the suspects go because of a lack of evidence but were still questioning them.

Nozawa reportedly worked for clients such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Denzel Washington and Phil Collins in the past.
