A 19-year-old man who shot dead his mother and two younger siblings at their home in Luton was also plotting a shooting at his former primary school, according to police. Nicholas Prosper admitted murdering Juliana Falcon, 48, Kyle Prosper, 16, and Giselle Prosper, 13, when he appeared at Luton crown court on Monday. He also admitted other offences including buying a shotgun without a certificate, possession of a shotgun with intent to endanger life and possession of a kitchen knife in a public place.
A shotgun? How do you get one of those without a license?
Prosper murdered his family in a “cold-blooded attack” with a shotgun he obtained without a licence, said Chris Derrick, a deputy chief crown prosecutor at the Crown Prosecution Service.
Are the police looking into how that was possible? I'm thinking they really should be...
Assistant chief constable John Murphy of Bedfordshire police said Prosper had intended to cause “maximum harm and distress” to the wider community. “We understand the deep shock this case will have on people within Luton and across the country,” he said. “We are working closely alongside Luton borough council to engage with schools in Luton to provide support, assistance and guidance to both schools and parents.”
Are you working to identify the illegal gun dealer? You don't mention it. Why not?
