Sentenced to 49 years in jail the 19 -year -old who murdered his mother, brother and sister and planned a massacre in his old school

While the judge pronounced her verdict in a crowded court, the heartbreaking sob Ray Prosper He filled the air. A day before, in a statement, he had expressed that “I have lost four members of my family.” And is that his son, Nicholas Prosper19 years, he has been sentenced on Wednesday to a minimum of 49 years in prison for the murder of his mother, his brother and sister.

The events date back to September 13, 2024, in a block of floors in the Marsh Farm area, Luton, where the police found the bodies of Juliana Falcon48, Kyle Prosper16, and Giselle Prosperof 13. His son and brother, Nicholas, had killed them with a double -cannon shotgun that he had acquired through a counterfeit certificate. The scene that the agents found was described by the judge as “a show of horror” and the trial revealed chilling details: like her younger sister was found under a table, where she had tried He assaulted more than one hundred stabs. Prosper even recorded a video in which he described his intention to shoot his sister on his face.

The nightmare went further, because Nicholas Prosper planned to carry out a massacre in the school where primary school, St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School did. The young man had deliberately chosen on Friday 13 as a date for the attack and his plan was to kill 30 children and two teachers before committing suicide, thus exceeding the number of victims of the Sandy Hook massacre, one of the most mortal school shootings in the history of the United States. It was on December 14, 2012 when in the school of the same name in Newtown, Connecticut, Adam Lanza, a 20 -year -old, murdered 20 children between six and seven years old, in addition to six adults who tried to stop him, before committing suicide. The tragedy shocked the world and revived the debate on arms control in the United States. Prosper, according to the investigation, idolized Lanza and wanted to overcome his number of victims to ensure a place in the history of mass murderers.

In addition, the investigation revealed that Prosper had made internet searches on mass shootings, shotgun wounds and necrophilia. He had also drawn detailed plans from the classrooms of the school, in which the phrase “Kill All” appeared (“kill them all”).

During the trial, the Prosecutor’s Office described Nicholas Prosper as a young “Geeky” (a geek) and socially isolated. He had abandoned his studies in March 2023 and spent most of his time on the Internet or in the gym. Forensic psychiatrists consider that he suffers from a disorder of the autistic spectrum not previously diagnosed, but made it clear that this did not affect their ability to understand the seriousness of their actions. “You are intellectually capable of logically understanding the impact of your actions,” said Judge Cheema-Grubb. “Your cognition and the ability to refrain from the murder were not diminished,” he snapped.

The court also heard during the trial that Prosper had expressed pride in his crimes, which was shown »inappropriately cheerful» after being arrested and that in all this time he has not shown any remorse. The judge recalled how the police found blood footprints and evidence that Prosper had recharged the shotgun twice. «Later it was confirmed that you were discovered by your mother, who noticed that something was going extremely bad. When she realized that you had a weapon, she fought with you before you shot her in the head in the hall, ”said the judge.

Ray Prosper, Nicholas’ father, had separated from Juliana Falcon when her son was nine years old, but had contact with him and his brothers. In his first appearance before the court, a few days after the murders, he shouted in tears: «I still love you, son. It’s not your fault, ok? However, hearing on Wednesday the details of the sentence, he could not contain the crying.

Meanwhile, Nicholas Prosper refused to stand as he was dictated. He remained with his head in his hands. «You are still extremely dangerous and you may never be released», Said the judge, who did not condemn him for life because the massacre at school did not occur and because Prosper was a minor at the time of crime. The police authorities expressed their relief after the sentence. “All in the Bedfordshire police are completely shocked and horrified by the actions of this individual and pleases us that now in front of a significant prison sentence,” said the assistant of the Chief of Police, John Murphy. “This was the work of a single individual, whose plans were fortunately interrupted,” he said.

Nicholas Prosper will live at least 49 years after bars before you can request probation. However, the judge made it clear that her lack of remorse could mean that she never recovers her freedom. “I am aware that nothing I can say or do can reflect the value of the beautiful lives of Juliana, Kyle and Giselle,” concluded the judge, who told him that “you are indisputably an extremely dangerous young man.”
