The London Metropolitan Police has offered £10,000
reward for information that will help track down and
arrest a convicted murderer on the run for killing a
Nigerian student in London.
Lerone Boye, 27, the alleged murderer, was
sentenced to 28 years last December for the murder
of 17-year-old Nigerian, Kelvin Chibueze.
Boye had stabbed Chibueze to death at a birthday
party in Ilford in August 2011. He has not been seen
since he escaped from the John Howard Centre in
Kenworthy Road in Homerton on October 16.
Scotland Yard said there is “some intelligence to
suggest” that Boye may be in the east London area .
He is also known to have links to Barking, Newham
and Ilford.
The London police officers describe Boye as a “black
man who is 5 feet 10 inches tall and of slim build.
He had a distinctive horseshoe shape scar on his
right cheek and a gold tooth in his upper row of
teeth.
When last seen, he was said to be wearing a grey-
blue sweat-shirt with a grey vest over the top. He
was also wearing grey jogging bottoms. He had short
hair and a goatee beard.
Members of the public are advised not to approach
Boye, but to call 999 if they see him.
Four killers stabbed Chibueze to death after chasing
him out of a nightclub brandishing champagne and
brandy bottles.
Kelvin Chibueze, 17, rushed out of a private party at
an east London venue after he was attacked in a
mass brawl involving knives and bar stools.
The youth tripped outside a supermarket and the rival
gang members sat on his legs to stop him running
away before stabbing him repeatedly with a foot-long
blade.
Dale Williams, 21, Lerone Boye, 25, Hugo Nwankwo,
18, and Roger Damali, 31, denied murder, but were
convicted after a trial at the Old Bailey.
A judge condemned Britain’s ‘endemic’ knife culture
as he jailed the four members of the Barking-based
Harts Lane street gang for 93 years in total.
A fifth man, deaf-mute Ibrahim Zakari, 21, who threw
a bottle at Kelvin during the chase, was earlier jailed
for two years, but walked free because he had already
served more than a year in jail on remand.
