On 13 September 2024, 18-year-old Nicholas Prosper murdered his mother Juliana Prosper, 48, along with his sister and brother, Giselle and Kyle, aged 13 and 16, at the flat they shared in Luton, England. All three had been shot in the early hours of the morning. Kyle Prosper was also stabbed over 100 times.

The police investigation found that Prosper had also intended to commit a school shooting at his former primary school, St. Joseph's Catholic School in Luton. In March 2025 at Luton Crown Court, Prosper was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 49 years.
