Teenager appears in court charged with triple murder of mother and siblings in Luton

An 18-year-old has appeared in court charged with the murder of a woman and two teenage boys in Luton.

The bodies of Juliana Prosper, 48, Giselle Prosper, 13, and Kyle Prosper, 16, were found Friday in a Leabank apartment near Wauluds Bank Drive.

Wearing a grey jumper, Nicholas Prosper, from Leabank, took the stand to confirm his name and date of birth at Luton Magistrates’ Court on Monday morning.

Prosper was also charged with a number of other offences related to the murder, the court heard.

The court’s public gallery was packed with family members, many in tears and shaking their heads during Prosper’s brief appearance in the dock.

As Prosper was being led away from the dock, a man stood up to look him in the eye and said, “I still love you, son, I know it’s not your fault, okay.”

Deputy District Judge Robert Borwick remanded Prosper in custody and ordered him to appear at Luton Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on September 18.
