A colonial dispatch dated 3 March 1793 records an expedition in which Boni was killed. The National Archives identifies the report as a record of his death, while another modern account dates the killing to 19 February. This batch uses the dated dispatch as the event anchor and preserves the discrepancy rather than treating the archival reporting date as an uncontested date of death. Boni’s Aluku forces had resisted Dutch expeditions for decades; surviving communities continued after his death.
