Distressing footage emerges of teenager who murdered family pretending a plank of wood is a gun
When police officers stopped 18-year-old Nicholas Prosper in Luton one Friday morning last September, he had already killed his mother, brother and sister and was planning to commit a mass shooting at his old primary school.
In the early hours of Friday, 13 September, Prosper shot them all dead. An inquest heard they each had gunshot wounds to the head.
Police, responding to reports of a disturbance, apprehended him, before finding a loaded shotgun and more than 30 cartridges in a bush.
At Prosper's first court hearing, his father Ray Prosper shouted: "I still love you, son. It's not your fault, OK?" and then wept.
On Monday, Prosper pleaded guilty to the murders. Police have since confirmed he intended to carry out an attack at St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Luton.
