It comes almost a year after 24-year-old Tyreece was stabbed to death in the early hours of the morning in Hibernia Road.
Laing, of De Brome Road, Feltham, and Abdi, of Western Avenue, Acton, were arrested at Stansted Airport after arriving back in the UK three days after the January 16 murder.
Detectives were able to match a bag carried by Abdi when he was arrested to one the suspect was wearing at the scene of the fatal attack.

His phone was also found to contain searches for ‘Hounslow stabbing’, something police claim was “vital evidence at the trial”.
Reda Mohamed, 24, of Linslade Close, Hounslow, and Morgan Allen, 29, of Reeve Street, Feltham, were also found guilty of perverting the course of justice.

Detective Chief Inspector Ollie Stride, who led the investigation team, said: “We continue to support Tyreece’s family through this terrible time, but we hope this conviction has given them some confidence in our prolonged efforts to bring them justice.
“Our team has worked incredibly hard to build evidence against the four defendants in this case to prove there could be no doubt as to their guilt.
“The combination of CCTV, data-led intelligence to track phones, automatic number plate recognition evidence helped reveal a compelling case against them.
“London will be a safer place with them taken off the streets”.
All four defendants will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on February 27.
