A young British individual who intended to execute a mass shooting at his former primary school has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 49 years for killing his family.
Nicholas Prosper was just 18 when he murdered his mother, brother, and sister in September of the previous year, as part of a horrifying plot to become the most lethal mass killer in history.
He acknowledged his guilt for the murder of his mother, Juliana Falcon, 48, and his siblings, Kyle Prosper, 16, and 13-year-old Giselle Prosper [ pictured below ] at Luton Crown Court in February.
During sentencing, the judge remarked that the terms “heartless and brutal” did not adequately capture the terror experienced by his victims in their final moments.
The remains of his family were discovered in their apartment in town in September last year.
The now 19-year-old had aimed to execute a mass shooting at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, where he and his siblings had once been students, a plan he confessed to law enforcement.
The court learned that his goal was to be recognized as “the world’s most notorious school shooter of the 21st century.”
Authorities believe he murdered his family after his mother discovered a shotgun he had acquired using a forged certificate and confronted him.
His plot was ultimately thwarted when officers spotted him on the street shortly after the killings and arrested him.
The loaded shotgun was discovered concealed in nearby bushes, along with over 30 cartridges. As the sentencing began on Tuesday, the court heard that “his planning was cold, calculated, and devoid of sympathy or emotion towards the actual victims or potential victims.”

Judge Mrs. Justice Cheema-Grubb stated that the circumstances of Prosper’s case were “chilling,” and that he aspired to mimic and surpass the US school shootings at Sandy Hook in 2012 and Virginia Tech in 2007.
His “primary desire,” according to the prosecution, was fame, as he told a prison nurse, “I wish I had killed more.”
Mrs. Justice Cheema-Grubb noted that Prosper did not harbor hatred for his mother or siblings and had “enjoyed a good life with them,” but his intent had been to kill them while they slept and assault his sister.
When explaining her choice not to impose a whole-life sentence, the judge commented, “A minimum term does not in any way equate to the value of the life of a murder victim, let alone three such victims.”
She recognized that Prosper had autism spectrum disorder but was confident that it did not significantly influence his decision-making to the extent that it could be considered the primary reason for the murders.
“A killing spree aimed solely at glorifying the name of the perpetrator in the annals of mass murderers is what you intended,” she remarked.
“You have also shown no remorse or sorrow. In fact, when a psychiatrist asked if you would attempt another massacre, you replied: ‘Well, it’s their responsibility to prevent me from obtaining the weapons if Iām released.'”
Mrs. Justice Cheema-Grubb added: “Your plans were shrewd, calculated, and unselfish. Your ambition was infamy. You aimed to be recognized posthumously as the world’s most infamous school shooter of the 21st century.
“Terms like heartless and brutal fall short of capturing the horror experienced by those who were closest to you in their final moments.
