Disturbing new pictures of killer George Koh posing with a teddy bear while wearing a pair of ear-muffs and snuggling up to women can be revealed today.
Koh is facing a life sentence for stabbing to death a fashion rival in a shocking street attack caught on CCTV. Friends told MailOnline he was a ‘strange guy’.
The 24-year-old was photographed smiling and laughing with other students during his first year at University before embarking on his modelling a career.

The photos were taken at De Montfort University in Leicester in November 2012 by another student.
Koh dropped out of college after less than three months to pursue a modelling career.
He was convicted at the Old Bailey last week of killing 25 year old Harry Uzoka after becoming obsessively jealous of his success as a Vogue model.
The victim, who was described as Britain’s most successful black model, was stabbed through the heart after a confrontation outside his home in Shepherds Bush, in January.
Friends who remember Koh from his time at the university described him as ‘strange guy’.
The photos supplied to Mail Online emerged as the girlfriend of Uzoka said she had never met Koh, who stabbed her boyfriend in the heart while she was working in Los Angeles and Sweden.
She wrote online: ‘Harry died because a man had a jealous obsession with Harry. He came to his house with his two friends, knives and intentions to kill.
‘Since this event has happened I’m so sad and heartbroken. I had finally found someone I was so happy with and he was taken from me.’
Ms Campbell did not give evidence at the trial but has spoken on social media

Ms Campbell said the tragedy has been ‘twisted’ by the press and social media users ‘to make it seem like I was the bad guy in this situation or this was a fight about me’.
Her post continued: ‘This makes me so sad. I have had a hard time this year grieving and I am still grieving.
‘Harry was my love. I have never lost a person in my life and I’m receiving multiple death threats and multiple social media accounts using a tragedy as click bait.’
Mr Uzoka was described during the trial as Britain’s ‘most famous black model’,and was counted catwalk star Jourdan Dunn among his friend.
He had recently returned from a holiday in the Caribbean with his girlfriend and had landed a film role shortly before he was killed on January 11.
Mr Uzoka also starred in campaigns for Zara and Mercedes and regularly modelled for clothing line Everlane.
He was signed up by world renowned agent Premiere Model Management, who helped launched the career of Naomi Campbell.
A former college friend said:’ He was always so laid back but was a nice guy. He would be in the room and then would suddenly disappear. He was quite mysterious but had a lot of friends and was a nice guy.
‘He did talk about his modelling , but not many people really believed him until he left to become a full time model.’
Koh was enrolled on a business degree course but quit during the first term at the university in Leicester.
Koh, a former Louis Vuitton and Paul Smith model, previously posted a photo on Instagram of David Beckham standing in front of his photo at London Fashion Week.
The defendant claimed he acted in self-defence and only wanted to meet face to face for him to apologise to his rival for thinking he had bedded Ms Campbell.
The court heard that Koh had falsely bragged to Paris-based model Annecetta Lafon that he had sex with Ms Campbell.
Prosecutor Richard Horwell QC said: ‘Koh claimed that he knew Uzoka well and then said that he had sex with Uzoka’s girlfriend and that was the reason why they no longer talked.’
Koh was found guilty of murder, along with machete-wielding Merse Dikanda, 24.
Personal trainer Jonathan Okigbo, also 24, was acquitted of murder but convicted of manslaughter.
All three men will be sentenced on September 21.
