NICHOLAS PROSPER'S HORRIFIC MURDERS IN LUTON: PLANNED SCHOOL MASSACRE AND FAMILY TRAGEDY

Nicholas Prosper, a 19-year-old resident of Luton, was handed a life sentence in prison with a minimum term of 49 years after he pleaded guilty to the brutal murders of his mother, Juliana Falcon, aged 48, and his two younger siblings, Kyle, aged 16, and Giselle, aged 13. The devastating events unfolded at their family home in Luton, where Prosper’s violent actions shocked the local community and drew widespread condemnation.

According to court reports, the tragedy began when Prosper’s family confronted him about his possession of a firearm. This confrontation escalated into a violent altercation, during which Prosper opened fire on his family members. Juliana Falcon was shot in the head, a wound that proved fatal. Giselle was also shot in the face and managed to hide, but succumbed to her injuries shortly thereafter. Kyle was shot twice and suffered over 100 knife wounds, leading to his death as well. Witnesses in the neighborhood reported hearing gunshots and shouting, prompting neighbors to call the police. When authorities arrived, Prosper was seen fleeing the scene, clutching a shotgun. Police later recovered the weapon, along with 33 cartridges, from his possession.

Further investigations revealed that Prosper had purchased a shotgun online for £650, having forged a license to do so. His intent was not only to commit these murders but also to carry out a mass shooting at his former primary school, St Joseph’s Catholic Primary. He had conducted extensive surveillance of the school, taking photographs and noting class schedules, with the horrifying goal of attacking and killing 30 children. Court documents detailed his meticulous planning, including a note with the phrase “Kill all” marked on a specific classroom, indicating his intent to carry out a massacre.

Prosper’s plans were ultimately thwarted when his family intervened, leading to the violent confrontation that resulted in the tragic deaths. The court heard that he had also bought a shotgun illegally, possessed a firearm with the intent to endanger life, and carried a knife in public. Despite being ordered to attend court, Prosper initially refused to appear but was compelled to do so. During sentencing, he showed no remorse and refused to stand, displaying a complete lack of remorse for his actions. Police officer DCI Sam Khanna described Prosper as “truly evil” and expressed his shock at the extent of his brutality.

The judge highlighted Prosper’s desire for notoriety, stating: “Your ambition was notoriety. You wanted to be known posthumously as the world’s most famous school shooter of the 21st century.” The court also learned that Prosper has autism spectrum disorder; however, a medical professional clarified that this did not diminish his understanding of his actions or his capacity for remorse, citing “psychopathic traits” observed in his behavior. The community and the victims’ family members paid tribute to those who lost their lives, acknowledging that their deaths, tragic as they are, likely prevented further tragedies from occurring. The case has left a lasting impact on the town of Luton, serving as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of unchecked violence and mental health issues.
