A British teenager has admitted to the horrific murders of his mother, brother, and sister at their family home.
Nicholas Prosper, 19, confessed to killing his mother, Juliana, 48, his brother Kyle, 16, and his sister Giselle, 13, in a violent shotgun rampage on September 13, 2024.
Initially, Prosper had denied the charges of murder, but during a brief six-minute hearing at Luton Crown Court, he unexpectedly entered guilty pleas to all three counts.
He also admitted to purchasing a 12-ball Nikko shotgun without a certificate just one day before the killings took place.
In addition to the murder charges, Prosper pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm with the intent to endanger life.

He also admitted to carrying a kitchen knife when he was apprehended by police shortly after the attack, which occurred just a short distance from the crime scene on Bramingham Road.
The court proceedings were stark, with no members of the Prosper family present.
Prosper was remanded back into custody and will face sentencing over two days, next Wednesday and Thursday, under the supervision of His Honour Judge Michael Simon.
The killings have shocked the local community, and the tragic event has left many searching for answers about the motive behind such a brutal act.
The court will now focus on determining an appropriate sentence for the young man, whose actions have devastated his family and the surrounding community.
