LUTON BLOODBATH: Teen Killer Butchers Family, Planned School Massacre—Stopped Just in Time!

The Luton Family Murders: The Chilling Crimes of Nicholas Prosper and Foiled School Attack

By Ben Freeman

A crime of almost unfathomable brutality has sent shockwaves through the country. Nicholas Prosper, a 19-year-old from Luton, has pleaded guilty to the cold-blooded murders of his mother, Juliana Falcon, 48, his sister Giselle Prosper, 13, and his brother Kyle Prosper, 16.

The killings, committed in September last year, were not the extent of Prosper’s chilling intentions—police have now revealed that he was also planning a school shooting at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, where he and his siblings had once been pupils. The attack was only averted when Bedfordshire Police arrested him before he could carry it out.

Now, with sentencing set for March 5 at Luton Crown Court, the full extent of Prosper’s horrific crimes is coming to light.

The Murders That Shook a Community

On the night of the killings, police were called to a block of flats in Leabank, off Wauluds Bank Drive, Luton, where they discovered the bodies of Juliana Falcon, Kyle Prosper, and Giselle Prosper. All three had been shot with a legally unlicensed shotgun that Prosper had obtained with the clear intent to kill.

Prosper’s actions were premeditated, calculated, and devastating. Armed with a kitchen knife and a loaded shotgun, he executed his closest family members with clinical precision. In court, he also admitted a series of firearms and weapons offences, including:

• Buying a shotgun without a certificate

  
  

• Possessing a shotgun with intent to endanger life

  
  

• Carrying a knife in a public place

  
  

This was not an act of sudden rage or impulse—Prosper’s mind was set on violence, and the evidence suggests that his murder spree could have extended far beyond his family had police not intervened.

A Disturbing Digital Footprint

Prior to carrying out the murders, Prosper posted a chilling video online in which he made cryptic yet unsettling statements about his sister, Giselle, referencing an “incorrect choice” in a video game. The footage, in which he appeared wearing a yellow bucket hat, was a grim foreshadowing of the horrors to come.

The video, and his wider obsession with violent content, has raised serious concerns at the highest levels of government. In a public statement, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper described the case as “the most appalling crime”, and warned of the growing issue of young people becoming fixated on violence, particularly those drawn to the dark subcultures of school massacres and mass shootings.

“Sentencing is due next week, but it raises a wider issue about young people becoming obsessed with violence, the school massacre issue obsession there, and that’s why after the Southport attack, we started a programme of work to look at what more we need to do about these violent, fixated teenagers.”

The Southport attack—a reference to the knife rampage at a school in Merseyside—has prompted the government to launch an urgent review into how young people are radicalised online. Cooper confirmed that her department is now looking at reforms to the Prevent programme to identify and intervene with teenagers exhibiting dangerous fixations.

The Planned School Massacre

If the murders of his mother and siblings weren’t harrowing enough, the most chilling revelation in court was that Prosper had been plotting an attack on St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School.

Had police not arrested him in time, he intended to carry out a mass shooting.

The evidence gathered by Bedfordshire Police, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire’s major crime unit points to a clear, premeditated plan to attack his former school. The exact details of how he intended to execute the attack remain subject to further investigations, but police confirmed they had intercepted violent digital content linked to his planning.

Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor Chris Derrick laid bare the sheer horror of Prosper’s crimes, stating:

“In a chilling act of violence, Prosper murdered his closest family with a shotgun he obtained without a licence and with a clear intent to kill.”

“We worked carefully with the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire major crime unit to build a strong case against Prosper and hope today’s convictions offer a sense of justice to a community understandably shaken by these profoundly troubling crimes.”

He concluded with a sobering warning:

“The full extent of Prosper’s actions will be laid bare when he is sentenced, and he can expect to face a very long time behind bars.”

A Family Torn Apart

In the wake of the murders, tributes poured in for Juliana, Kyle, and Giselle—a mother and two young children whose lives were ruthlessly stolen.

Juliana Falcon was described by friends as “a strong, loving mother to four beautiful children, who were her absolute world”. A keen athlete and charity fundraiser, she dedicated her life to helping others.

Kyle, just 16, was remembered as “a kind, funny young man”, while Giselle, at only 13, was called “a beautiful soul and a caring young girl”.

Outside the block of flats where the murders took place, the community left flowers, candles, and handwritten tributes—a heartbreaking testament to the devastating impact of this tragedy.

The Road to Justice

Nicholas Prosper has pleaded guilty to all charges and now faces the full weight of the law. With sentencing set for March 5, the court will determine the exact length of his prison term, but legal experts expect that he will never walk free again.

For the town of Luton, and for the family and friends left reeling from these unspeakable acts, the wounds will take far longer to heal.

The case of Nicholas Prosper is a stark reminder of how radicalisation, violence, and digital extremism can converge with devastating consequences. It raises troubling questions about how fixated young men slip through the cracks—and how society must act before it is too late.

Well, that’s all for now. But until our next article, please stay tuned, stay informed, but most of all stay safe, and I’ll see you then.
