George Koh who is a member of a party of friends who confronted Harry Uzoka claims he killed the deceased in self-defense.
It seemed a short-lived happiness for Nigerian model Harry Uzoka who had just secured a role in a romantic movie close to the period of his death.
Uzoka was reportedly killed by a rival George Koh who claimed self-defense when he stabbed him on the chest with a knife.
Today, Chuck Achike, a close friend of deceased gave a testimony in a British court confirming the development prior to the death of the model.
"Harry had always wanted to be an actor and he had just got a role in a British movie and they had just sent him the script," Achike was captured in a report by the Evening Standard.
He added that his friend was calm-spirited about Koh's claim about having an affair with his girlfriend Ruby Campbell.
The rival reportedly met Campbell at a photoshoot in Los Angeles but the deceased did not believe the story.
"He said George said 'he f***** my girl', which I thought was petty and young.
"He knew it wasn't true and I knew it wasn't true," Chuck Achike told a court of Harry Uzoka's reaction following reports of the affair.
