In a case that has rocked the community, officers from Bedfordshire Police intercepted Prosper on Bramingham Road shortly after the brutal murders of three family members. A loaded shotgun, concealed in nearby bushes along with over 30 cartridges, was discovered at the scene. Further investigations uncovered that Prosper had been plotting to attack a local school, a revelation that has deepened the shock surrounding the case, according to the Independent.
Detective Chief Inspector Sam Khanna, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, described the incident as a heartbreaking tragedy. He stated: “This was a truly tragic and shocking case in which three innocent members of the same family have been brutally killed by their son and brother. No words can fully describe the tragedy their loved ones have experienced, and our thoughts continue to be with them at this difficult time.”
“We are pleased that Prosper has pleaded guilty and will not put his family through the pain of a trial, and that he will soon face a significant jail sentence. What was subsequently uncovered during our investigation left no doubt as to his intentions to carry out an attack at a school, but fortunately, Prosper was apprehended before he could cause any further harm.”
Speaking outside court, Khanna added that discovering Prosper’s plan to attack a school “left our whole investigation team in shock and disbelief”. He continued, “In all my years working on murder investigations, I have never known a case quite like this.”
“Not only were three innocent lives taken in such brutal circumstances, but we then learned of Prosper’s plans to carry out a shooting at a school, something which left our whole investigation team in shock and disbelief. We cannot ever begin to comprehend why someone would plan to kill innocent children and are so grateful to those arresting officers who helped prevent this from taking place.”
Prosper appeared in court on Monday, dressed in a black T-shirt and dark trousers, and admitted to several additional offenses, including purchasing a shotgun without a certificate, possession of a shotgun with intent to endanger life, and carrying a kitchen knife in a public place. Judge Michael Simon informed the defendant that sentencing would take place on March 5 before remanding him into custody.
Bedfordshire Assistant Chief Constable John Murphy expressed his concern for the community, stating:
“We understand the deep shock this case will have on people within Luton and across the country. Juliana, Kyle, and Giselle were brutally murdered in their home by someone intent on causing the maximum harm and distress not only to his family but to the wider community.”
“We are extremely grateful to our officers who stopped him and prevented him from going through with his plans to target a school. 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.”
Councillor Hazel Simmons, leader of Luton Council, and deputy chief crown prosecutor Chris Derrick have both voiced their dismay, emphasizing the lasting impact of this cold-blooded attack and the relief that Prosper’s dangerous plans were halted. Their statements, along with those from the investigating team, underline a community united in mourning yet determined to learn from this harrowing ordeal.
