Teenager appears in court charged with triple murder of mum and siblings

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

The bodies of Juliana Prosper, 48, Giselle Prosper, 13, and Kyle Prosper, 16, were found at a flat in Leabank, off Wauluds Bank Drive on Friday.

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

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

The court’s public gallery was full with family members, many of whom were tearful and shook their heads during Prosper’s short appearance in the dock.

As Prosper was 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 ok.”

Deputy district judge Robert Borwick remanded Prosper into custody and ordered him to appear at Luton Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on September 18.
