He was the brother of the former EastEnders actress Brooke Kinsella who played Kelly Taylor in the BBC soap.
Ben was described as a popular and academically gifted student who was the life and soul of his class.
One of Ben's former school friends, told Times Online that the youngster was a "caring guy" who never caused arguments.
Ben lived with his father, George, a London black cab driver, and Debbie, a secretary. He was survived by two other sisters, Jade, and Georgia.
Bob Hamlyn, the head teacher at Holloway School, where Ben took his GCSEs, paid tribute to his pupil folowing his death, saying:
"He was a bright kid, very high achieving academically and would have had some very good results to look forward. He was also very sporty and had everything to live for but that has been taken away from him now."
Ben had taken his last GCSE nine days before his death and was really confident he had done well.
Three men were found guilty of murdering Ben in June 2009.
