Sick Instagram TV show boasts of Louis Vuitton model who murdered fashion rival

A male model jailed for life for stabbing to death his fashion rival after a row on Instagram has used the social media app to boast about an ITV Ross Kemp show he claims he will be appearing on.

George Koh knifed model Harry Uzoka in the heart after he became  "obsessed" with Harry's success.

A row developed after Koh, who had modelled for Louis Vuitton, bragged he had slept with Harry's model girlfriend Ruby Campbell.

Now a post from the lag - who is behind bars at notorious Belmarsh - has been uploaded to his Instagram account in which he speaks about an ITV show.

It's his first post since December 10, 2017 and urges people to "please watch" it.

The jailbird even asks people to book a visit with him by through the Belmarsh Prison website.

In it, Koh wrote: "I will be going on tv  @itv  in early December via Belmarsh prison.

" @rosskemptv  will be interviewing me in my cell. You’ll get to see my cell, questioning about my charge and simply how life is like for me in prison.

"Please watch it if you get the time or online on  @itv  repeat.

"I also will be launching my book and artwork to stop the young generation getting caught up in crime and instead focus on their pathways.

"I really believe it’s my must to bring back to the community, world. I’m so so sorry. Rest in peace."

Koh's boasts have been slammed by supermodel Leomie Anderson, who had previously dated Harry.

Victoria's Secret model and fashion designer, Leomie, wrote on Twitter : The boy who murdered my ex and close friend Harry Uzoka should NOT be given air time. @ITV @RossKemp what the hell is this s***???

"Have you no respect for his family?? Please retweet to have this stopped, his family have suffered enough.

Sorry but he hasn’t even been in jail 2 years yet he’s allowed to paint himself as reformed???

"He killed him out of pure obsession and jealousy so him even speaking on the situation makes no sense to me as it’s not a path many can even relate to."

Cheyenne Joseph replied: “Book a visit to see me” like if he’s some celeb doing meet and greet. This is making me SICK."

Actor Monel Bailey added: "This is terrible. They need to have some decency and compassion for him and everyone that’s been affected.

"It’s not fair on the family and friends that new him just for to create a story line . @ITV have some respect!"

Kiss FM presenter Tinea Taylor blasted: "W** is this s***! Disgusting."

Koh and accomplice Merse Dikanda were found guilty of stabbing the model to death following a trial at the Old Bailey in August.

Koh was handed a minimum life sentence of just over 24 years in jail while Dikanda was told he must serve almost 22 years.

A third man, Jonathan Okigbo, who was convicted of manslaughter, received 14 years in prison.

Tragic Harry Uzoka, 25, died at the scene  in Old Oak Road, Shepherd's Bush, London, at around 3.55pm on January 11, following the violent stabbing.

He had previously been described as 'Britain's most famous black model' and modelled for GQ and Zara.

But after Koh, who worked for Louis Vuitton, bragged he had slept with Harry's girlfriend, model Ruby Campbell, Harry said he wanted to settle the row "face to face".

The pair then arranged to meet in Shepherd's Bush, West London, on the afternoon of January 11.

Prosecutor Richard Horwell QC, said Koh and pals Jonathan Okigbo and Merse Dikanda, both 24, were armed with at least two knives and a "particularly large" machete-style blade.

During the meeting, the court heard  that Koh said "are you mad?", produced two knives and stabbed Harry in the heart.

Following the trio's sentencing, grieving mum Josephine Jackson said her son's death had left a "gaping hole."

In an written statement read to the court, Miss Jackson said: "I have so much pain for the death of my Harry and I find it difficult these days to go on without him.

"His departure has left a gaping hole, a gap, a void in the family that we are all finding hard to contend with.

"He was due to start acting in a couple of upcoming movies but that chance has been take away from him.

"My son was a beautiful boy. I would give anything to change places with Harry, to take away the horror and pain that he suffered that day.

"Harry, your short life enriched the lives of many, you inspired so many people and touched them with your love.

"You will never be forgotten my wonderful boy."
