Heartbreaking tribute to 'loving' mother killed along with two children | UK news

A woman and two children killed in Luton have been described by her family as a “strong, loving mother” and her “beautiful” son and daughter.

Nicolas Prosper, 18, was charged with the murder of his mother Juliana, 48, and his siblings Kyle, 16, and Giselle, 13.

They were found when police visited a home in Leabank, near Wauluds Bank Drive, on Friday morning.

A statement released by the family today said: “Julie was a strong, loving mother to her four beautiful children who were her everything.”

“In her spare time, she was an avid sportswoman and enjoyed raising money for charity – she always put others first.”

“Kyle was a kind and funny young man who loved football and boxing. He was creative and thrived on TikTok, a great talent with huge potential. Kyle's friends were his everything.

“Giselle was a beautiful and caring young girl. She loved to laugh and loved her family and her big brothers.”

“She was so sweet and had an infectious smile. She was also an exceptional student and was very loved by her friends in 9th grade.”

They added: “We are so grateful for the support we have received from our family, friends and community and we appreciate all your kind messages.”

“We would also like to thank the police for their efforts and conducting the investigation.”

“As we go through this difficult time, we politely ask that you respect our privacy so we can grieve.”

Nicholas Prosper appeared in court on Monday and was charged with murder and other offenses.

These include buying or acquiring a Nikko 12-bullet shotgun in Luton without holding a permit on 12 September and possessing a shotgun on 13 September.

Mr Prosper was also charged with possession of a sharp article, a kitchen knife, in a public place in Bramingham Road, Luton, on September 13.

The gallery was full of family members, many of whom had tears in their eyes and shook their heads during Prosper's brief appearance in the dock.

Prosper was remanded in custody and ordered to appear at Luton Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on 18 September.
