Luton teenager to face sentence for murdering his mother and two siblings
19-year-old Nicholas Prosper had plotted a school shooting on the day he was arrested
A teenager who shot his mother, sister and brother at their Luton home last September is to face a court today.
Nicholas Prosper, who was 18 years old at the time, last month pleaded guilty to killing them.
Following his plea hearing, it emerged that Prosper had been plotting a shooting at a nearby school, before he was arrested by police.
A judge is expected to hand him a sentence later today at Luton Crown Court.
What happened?
Police were called to a property off Wauluds Bank Drive, at Leabank Court, in the north of Luton, in the early hours of the morning Friday September 13.
There, the lifeless bodies of Juliana Falcon, 48, Kyle Prosper, 16, and Giselle Prosper, 13 were found.
All three had been shot.
Later that morning, police arrested 18-year-old Nicholas Prosper nearby, on Bramingham Road.
Officers found a loaded shotgun with over 30 cartridges hidden in bushes nearby.
Prosper was charged with three murders, purchasing a shotgun without a certificate, possession of a shotgun with intent to endanger life and possession of a kitchen knife in a public place.
He pleaded guilty to all offences on February 24, 2025.
Tributes paid to Juliana, Kyle and Giselle
Throughout the weekend that followed the brutal murders, dozens of bouquets, candles, teddy bears and balloons were laid by the foot of the building.
Nearby residents, passers by and teenagers were seen leaving messages of support.
At the time, the family issued a tribute and remembered Juliana - whom they called Julie - as "a strong, loving mother to her four beautiful children, who were her absolute world".
The tribute went on to say: "In her spare time, she was a keen athlete and enjoyed raising money for charity – she was always putting others first.
"Kyle was a kind and funny young man who loved football and boxing. He was creative and thriving on TikTok, a big talent with massive potential. Kyle’s friends were his everything.
"Giselle was a beautiful soul and caring young girl; she liked to laugh lots and loved her family and big brothers. She was so loveable with an infectious smile. She was also an exceptional pupil at school and was loved dearly by her friends in Year 9."
The family also thanked their loved ones and the wider community for their support in the time following the incident.
