The 26 year old budding designer also known as Moshood Abiola Akanbi, was found dead after police forced their way into his flat in Cedar Lodge, Exeter Road, Kilburn, around 4.45pm following concerns about his welfare.
A postmortem gave the cause of death as multiple stab wounds to the torso.
On January 4, 2013, police arrested two men aged 19 and 20 on suspicion of murder. The following day, Achraf Jandara, 20 of Laing House, Comber Grove, Camberwell, south London, was charged with murder. The other suspect was released on bail.
Tributes have been left on the official Facebook page for Billy Boyce.

Jeez! Terrible. UK and stabs. USA and gunshots. SMH.
Such a gem lost! May his soul Rest in Peace. The govt should find a way of curbing hostilities against citizens of Nigeria resident in other countries. Our diplomats should sharpen up.
This is one very sad news i got in late 2012, Biola was a very intelligent and promising young man right from secondary school days in NNSSABK, its just unfortunate how many young vibrant lives are being ripped-off by evil doers. God knows best. RIP ABIOLA AKANBI

Hope there is no budding'conspiracy against nigerians in the diaspora lately!are they trying to scare them to come back home?
Hmmmm....a proverb dat says u can use attitude and chase away a person without saying a word to them.....*fingers crossed.
May his soul rest in peace.
What a loss *sad*
Sunre oooo, Omo Akanbi.... Omashe oooo Hmmmmm. RIP... aburo
Really sad.......what's it with the hating of Nigerians in diaspora????
Go and see his facebook page. You will see how rich and talented he was in London. People can plan to kill in the UK over envy alone.
It is not like in Naija where we admire talented people and want to know them personally.
Some Kids of Nigerian parentage have joined the West Indian cults and gangs that are famous for such murders.
RIP, I just hope this is not the beginning of killing off new talents in London. Before knife and gun crimes were mostly associated to secondary schools.
this is not too good at all. his soul rest in peace. get more gist daily from gossippme.com
Why are you laughing? You bloody moron!
Pls people, stop saying things like what a "lost" what does that mean? The correct thing is "what a loss"
Yes, @ anonymous 4.09p. My Gaydar saw it immediately too. That aside (which is non-consequential), that's a terrible thing to happen. His work looked so high end and i'm sure he would have had a bright future in designing. I hope it wasn't a hate crime
There is a lot of violent against blacks in London, it needs to be checked. This is an issue of diplomatic resolution.
Seriously! Really troubling...the recent publicized deaths of nigerians all over the world.
I dnt understand wts so funny!u can't ever be seriouz can u??Dumbass!!! RIP dear biola..ur killers will surely be exposed*sadface*
what a sad news RIP . . .
Your life is at risk the moment you leave your country to another mans' land. That risk however doubles when you mess with gangstars there. You live by the sword, you die by the fucking sword
All is well.
Rest in peace
He was such a nice and funny guy. RIP Shaun, your best friend(Y) misses you. Continue to smile from above.
Linda dear,i have nothing against Bonario but please try and be posting his comments once,ℓ☺ℓ.. Back to the story,This is what happens when the government has Little or no value for its citizens. These people know that no matter the number of Nigerians they kill abroad,wether or not they're guilty of anything,the Nigerian Government will do absolutely nothing about it. In developed countries,its different.. RIP man#sad much
Pretty Girl
It depends on where THESE Nigerians live abroad and the people they hang out with....the Kilburn high road I used to know in London(if its the same one mentioned above) does not seem like the best place to stay as a foreigner abroad(I don't live in London,but I have visited many
times).Lagos is not a very safe place to stay either.No CCTV,no proper police protection.....umh!I don't think so.
May he find rest in the bosom of God Almighty. Amen.
Rip, Amen
R.I.P to him..........nomsondoh.blogspot.com
RIP Shaun
This news is very sad. People, pls try and pray everyday for God's protection.
I hate sad news, and am sure every reasonable person does too.
Pls learn to avoid bad pple, sometimes, just forgive and let go. Choose to live and put God first...this world is evil.

God bless you and Linda, am hoping u will post this..thanks anyways.
3 biggest killers in the UK are cancer,old age and stabbing. The lord is on the throne.
RIP Shaun

Very funny comment. Have the Nigerian politicians finished curbing the hostilities from Nigerians to fellow Nigerians in Nigera?
UK Stabs,USA gunshots,Naija all the above plus,Boko Haram,Militants,ArmedRobbers,RitualKillers,Kidnappers,Thiefs,Regular deaths from car accidents,Police stray and intended bullets etc etc.
No vex but UK and USA are 100 times safer for Nigerians!!
RIP to the guy!
This is so so sad.....RIP

He seems so young and promising. What is happening to our embassies? R they not functional or what? Can't something be done to show our displeasure at all these deaths? We r unhappy and these foreign countries need to know that this is getting out of hand for goodness sake.
abiola was my classmte in nigerian navy abeokuta, and this guy was smart and intelligent, this is so sad
Lilly do you have a father and mother? I don't think so
wow! May his soul rest in peace. so sad that i live next to the assholes in comber grove.
RIP Biola ....we miss you
Ex Boy
My heart is bleeding right now,Shaun was my exboyfriend's flat mate..such a nice,humble,intelligent and hard working guy..will keep praying for God to grant u eternal rest in His bossom.RIP my friend.
RIp Shaun Akanbi
r.i.p billy boyce..
Biola akanbi ws a very playful n jovial dude way back in nig navy sec sch abeokuta...he ws a class ahead of me n dis ws so sad cos he died a day b4 our sch all set reunion....d entire. Ex navy boys wud me u bro..rest in perfect peace n may ur murders kw no peace
abi omojola: kilburn high rd is safe enough. there's a police station there and they are always on the beat.
"violence" not "violent". Thank you!!
Keep consoling yourself.. It is well. Sha remember to pray for God's protection everyday you wake up alive. The diff btw naija and US and co is that in Nigeria, d kiillers are not found or fished out but over there, you will be long gone..DEAD! B4 d find ur murderers. But DEAD is the word.
Sad how nigerians in diaspora re dying.the other day it was a nigerian in india,and then d basketballer in america.so sad.rip shaun
@Blunt Queen; Thanks, but I don't need your prayers and fasting, I already got a job. And according to which law are you stating that it becomes a disease to comment? Bloggers Law 101 or what? If there is nothing like that then pls keep that to yourself pls.
Went to secondary school with biola & his bro Niyi..God rest ur soul homie.
It takes one to know another. You hv to be gay to hv noticed so quickly. Gay or not, may he rip.
The reason why there are many unresolved hate crime in the UK is because of the system which immigrants have penetrated and abused.
The police, council and schools work together and are powerful. Most police officers will never allow their kids to face prosecution. It is a fact.
The council can be used to put families in mystery. I have seen all three establishments frustrate innocent people. It is now who you know.
