Computer programmer Thomas, 23, is the grandson of Sir Gilbert Stanley Thomas — behind a business empire that included Peter’s Pies.
Thomas is charged with murder and due to appear in court next month.
Police tape remained at the scene last week, with flowers also left there.
Thomas and best pal Will, 23, attended the private Cathedral School in Llandaff, Cardiff.
Teetotal health food fan Thomas moved into the nearby terraced house — owned by his grandparents and Welsh rugby great Sir Gareth Edwards — two years ago with his black labrador.
Will, a surveyor with a commercial property firm, moved in soon after.
His family — English teacher dad John, 61, mum Elizabeth, 63, sister Catrin and brother Alexander — paid tribute to the keen rugby player and golfer.
The family, who live in Brecon, South Wales, said: “Our beloved Will was taken away from us in such a cruel and indescribable way.
“Will was such a loyal, funny and caring son, brother and boyfriend.”
Sir Stanley Thomas, 82, was knighted in 2006 for his charity work and services to business.
His father, also called Stanley Thomas, started selling meat pies in Merthyr Tydfil in the Welsh Valleys.
The business, Peter’s Savoury Products, was sold for £75million in 1988.
His family also owned a fifth share of the TBI group, which owned several airports, including Cardiff.
Thomas had been due to appear at Cardiff crown court on January 2.
He was remanded in custody in his absence and is due to appear before the court again on February 2.
