On June 30th, my sister decided to make the uni correct choices in episode one of season one of The Walking Dead games.
0:07
And for that, her face will be mutilated further than necessary. Okay. You don't have to say anything, but it may harm
0:13
your defense. If you do not mention when questioned in court, anything you do
0:18
say, you may be given an evidence. I am the chosen one. Chosen by Clementine. You surprised
0:25
me. Thought you were someone else. I am guided as Christians are guided by Jesus
0:31
Christ. Got a murder. Yes. Yes. We've got a male here. He's presented himself to us. Um, can we get another unit down
0:36
here, please? There will be no more killings of Larry's in front of
0:41
Clementine. No more killings of St. John's in front of Clementine and overall Clementine's content will be
0:49
preserved, maximized. That's the message I want to give out.

When Nicholas Prosper uploaded this video declaring his love and allegiance to a fictitious character from The
1:01
Walking Dead, it was already too late. His actions spanning deep into the
1:06
classification of the legal had resulted in not one or two but several lives lost. And among the wreckage, one of
1:14
those driving forces behind his violent spree was obsession. This is the story about a teen who had
1:20
an obsession with a cartoon character, an obsession with attention, and most terrifyingly, an obsession with infamy.
1:27
And if you add detachment from reality to the mix alongside a spiral so steep that no one saw it coming, well, you
1:34
have a recipe for disaster. Welcome, or welcome back to Coffee House Crime, folks. My name is Adrian, and today
1:40
we're looking at the disturbing case of Nicholas Prosper. Before we begin, if you'd like to see more true crime,
1:45
strange, and chilling stories, then please remember to subscribe as it really does help the channel out. And now, with that said, please grab
1:51
yourself a coffee. This is the case of Nicholas
2:03
Prosper. Welcome to Luton, folks. So, where do we begin? Well, Luton is one of
2:09
those towns that seems to always come up in the same breath as trouble. It sits just north of London, close enough to
2:16
feel the capital's shadow, but far enough to be forgotten. Once known for its booming hat industry and boxhole car
2:23
production, those days are now sadly long gone. And what is left is a town struggling to find its newfound footing.
2:30
Walk through the town center and you will see exactly what I mean. Bordered up shops and pound stores are found all
2:36
over and there is a general sense that things are not what they used to be. Luton has one of the most diverse
2:42
populations in the country. And while that does bring culture and character, it has also been a flash point for
2:48
tension over the years socially, politically, and even from a religious perspective too. Extremism, gang
2:55
activity, and knife crime are sadly all parts of the local vocabulary now, and many people across the UK see Luton as
3:02
one of the most dangerous places to live. It also doesn't help that it's a very ugly place, too. Now, it's not all
3:08
doom and gloom. The markets still run, kids still go to school, and families do what they can. But there is certainly an
3:14
edge here, a heaviness. And although people keep their heads down and get on with their lives, this is a place where
3:20
things can go wrong very quickly. And in September of 2024, that is precisely
3:25
what happened. Behind the front door of a quiet apartment, 19-year-old Nicholas Prosper wasn't only slipping through the
3:32
cracks, but he was planning something unthinkable. And the worst part is that nobody saw it coming. And so, on that
3:39
note, meet Nicholas. Now, at first glance, Nicholas
3:45
might seem like your average teenage boy. Born on December the 18th, 2005,
3:50
and raised in Luton, he grew up in a modest apartment with his mother, Juliana Falcon, and his two younger
3:56
siblings, Kyle and Jazelle. It's worth highlighting that his parents would unfortunately divorce when he was only 4
4:02
years old, which of course would be sure to leave a mark on his personality. But otherwise, and to the outside world,
4:10
they were just a typical working-class family. Not particularly wealthy, but close-knit and by all appearances
4:16
loving. So, how would I describe Nicholas? Well, he appeared to be smart,
4:21
academically capable, curious, and also often absorbed in his own world. He
4:27
didn't seem to cause any trouble and didn't act out in ways that drew any sort of concern. But even then, there
4:33
was something that was both inward and awkward about him. He didn't socialize that much and didn't seem to connect
4:39
easily with other people his age. Teachers would later describe him as well behaved but withdrawn, someone who
4:46
kept to himself and rarely opened up. In addition to this, he had a deep interest in computers and technology and would
4:53
often spend more than several hours online every day. And it turns out in a digital world where isolation can breed
5:00
obsession. His dark and weird interests would slowly become a coping mechanism. You see, a few years ago, Nicholas was
5:06
not violent, at least not outwardly. But what was clear is that he was
5:12
detached. Taking a brief step back for a moment and taking a look at his family, his mother, Juliana, was said to be not
5:18
only supportive, but a fantastic parent. However faint they may be, it is likely that she probably saw the signs that her
5:25
son was into some weird stuff. And I know I haven't actually shared what he was into yet, but just think of the
5:30
worst things imaginable. Honestly, this guy is someone that you do not want in your life. Now, Juliana likely had no
5:37
idea how evil and disgusting her son's world had become. And nothing could have prepared her for what was about to
5:44
happen. Because behind his silence, something darker had begun to take shape. Something that he hid from
5:50
everyone. So, how does an average teenager become a wouldbe mass murderer?
5:56
Well, all of that began on the internet. Now, I don't need to tell you how dangerous the internet can be. I mean,
6:01
we are quite literally talking about it in this case, which is precisely why I've decided to team up with NordVPN to
6:07
sponsor this video and support you if you'd like it. The internet is full of shady websites. Some spreading dodgy
6:13
information and others just simply trying to steal yours. Malware is a classic example of this, where it tries
6:20
to steal your data by presenting itself as a trusted attachment. The thing is, once you download it, it can quietly run
6:27
in the background, discreetly saving your passwords, bank details, and images while you are none the wiser. This is
6:33
where NordVPN's threat protection comes in handy. It encrypts your traffic, making it harder for certain types of
6:39
malware to intercept your online connection or infect your device. Now, this is the main reason why I myself use
6:45
NordVPN for absolute peace of mind. And let's not forget, with thousands of servers across the world, it allows me
6:52
to access and enjoy the internet without any limits and borders. Bye-bye buffering. I can now enjoy my TV
6:58
anywhere. And if you use my link, nordvpn.com/copyhouse crime, you'll get a huge discount with an additional 4
7:05
months for free, which is the best deal online, I might add. And with a 30-day money back guarantee built for your
7:11
peace of mind, it is quite literally a win-win situation. Once again, that's
7:17
nordvpn.com/copyhouse crime. Thank you to nordvpn for sponsoring this video, and thank you to you folks for supporting us content creators, which
7:23
helps us make more videos for you. So, back to the story. Let's take a look at Nicholas's hideous
7:30
obsessions. Now, I'm sure I don't need to tell any of you this, but the internet is one of humankind's greatest
7:36
inventions. A place of endless knowledge, connection, and creativity. But in the same breath, is also a
7:42
gateway to obsession, radicalization, and isolation. When in the wrong hands,
7:47
the internet is certainly capable of shaping monsters. That infinite pool of both knowledge and creativity can be
7:54
used in sick and tormented ways. And for Nicholas Prosper, that is precisely what
8:00
would happen. This is the sort of thing that I hate talking about. But it turns out that Nicholas enjoyed watching
8:06
content involving children in the most disgusting of ways. In fact, he was so
8:11
far down the road with it that he was even banned from multiple websites after expressing his desires. To make matters
8:18
worse, it didn't stop there either, because it appears that that sort of fascination extended to animals and
8:24
corpses, too. Things would worsen throughout 2023. Nicholas spent countless hours engrossed in violent
8:31
content, particularly fixated on mass shootings like Sandy Hook and Coline. In
8:36
fact, he would even begin to search for graphic images of murder victims, look up detailed reports of past shootings,
8:43
and even participated in forums which glorified them. He meticulously studied the logistics of past attacks, learning
8:50
from their own mistakes to plan a more quote effective massacre, one that he was beginning to wish that he could be
8:56
responsible for. As you can imagine, this virtual echo chamber not only desensitized him to violence, but it
9:03
also fueled his desire to outdo previous mass murderers. And over time, he would
9:09
become vocal about it, too. In one of his online videos, Nick wore a black and yellow outfit while he mimicked the
9:15
shooters he idolized. In fact, he even went as far to express his own desire to
9:21
surpass their death tolls. As Nicholas delved deeper into these online communities, he became increasingly
9:27
isolated from the real world. He withdrew from friends and family and spent most of his time alone in his
9:33
room. His interactions with other people dwindled and he became detached from reality. It turns out that the isolation
9:40
was not only social but emotional too. As moving forward, he showed little
9:46
empathy or connection to anyone around him. And although his family did notice these changes in his behavior, they were
9:53
completely unaware of the extent of his radicalization. To them, he was merely a
9:58
quiet and introverted teenager. However, in reality, he was gushing over violent
10:04
fantasies. It is worth saying that Nicholas's
10:09
transformation was not sudden or spontaneous. In my opinion, there were several factors at play here. Over time,
10:15
his curiosity would lead him to the darkest corners of the internet. And meanwhile, his lack of interest in the
10:21
real world would slowly detach him from reality. And to add to these two already pertinent issues came one other big
10:29
problem. Nicholas never had a moral compass. You see, Nicholas had the means
10:34
to find this content online. But then again, so does everybody. It's just that any normal person would simply not want
10:40
to, but not for Nicholas. He had a forever hungry desire. Not only that, but he was becoming obsessed with
10:47
infamy, too, as we have seen in many other cases on this channel. And that is something that he did not want to stop.
10:54
By June of 2023, Nicholas had abandoned his education and stopped attending classes. And once he was kicked out of
11:01
school for his lack of attendance, he then chose to slump in his bedroom and barely made any effort to go outside. He
11:08
existed in an online dominant world. And apart from attending a gym and working part-time at a supermarket, he chose to
11:15
have little real life contact with other people. And although this job of his was a good start, he would eventually be
11:22
fired only a few months later. Over the course of the next year, Nicholas's twisted fantasies slowly turned into
11:29
plans, and that is when he started plotting an attack on St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School. No surprise
11:35
that being the one that he used to attend. It's worth highlighting here that there were no ill feelings towards
11:41
the school, its teachers, or its students. Nicholas just merely wanted to cause harm. The reason why he chose this
11:48
school was simple. It was that he was familiar with its layout and its routines. Seeing Adam Lanza as a role
11:54
model, Nicholas's goal was to kill at least 34 individuals so that he could go
12:00
down in history as someone who exceeded the death tolls of the Virginia Tech shootings. In the months that followed,
12:06
and under the guise of being a parent, he phoned the school to inquire about their daily schedule, hoping that he
12:12
could then map out the routines of children and staff. And moving forward, only weeks later, he would also carry
12:19
out a disturbing level of reconnaissance. He scrutinized the school's website, saving images of both
12:25
pupils and teachers and collecting faces like they were targets. He would even sketch out the early years classrooms,
12:32
meticulously mapping all of it out in his own notes. And right next to that handdrawn layout, he scribbled the
12:38
chilling words, "Kill all," just to add a sprinkle of cringe to the mix. But Nicholas would also select Friday the
12:45
13th of September 2024 as the date of his attack, believing that this would add some sort of notoriety to his
12:52
actions. And here comes the tricky part of his plan, which surprisingly he pulled off. To execute his plan, he
12:59
needed a gun. And if he wanted one of those, well, he would have to forge a firearms license. And so that is
13:06
precisely what Nicholas did with a fake deputy signature and address to match.
13:11
And as it turns out, that would work for him. He then successfully purchased a firearm online, claiming that he needed
13:17
it for clay pigeon shooting. He also designed a very specific outfit that he would wear during the attack, aiming to
13:24
create a recognizable image that associated him with the massacre. And if you're wondering, yes, it is that awful
13:31
black and yellow costume. Now, before we go any further, there is one other obsession that
13:38
Nicholas seemed to harbor, and this is a weird one. Nicholas had a deep fixation over Clementine, a fictitious young girl
13:44
from the video game The Walking Dead. And uh let's just say that this was not normal fan admiration. He didn't just
13:51
see Clementine as a fake character, but a actual real person, someone not only to protect, but also to avenge. And even
13:59
more disturbingly, he felt intrinsically bonded to her. I mean, this guy would quite literally write about her in his
14:05
journals, not only as if she were real, but also like she needed him. And if that wasn't strange enough already, he
14:11
actually saw himself as her hero. And he was ready not only to save her, but to kill for her. Now, emotional intensity
14:18
aside, the thing that made this so deeply troubling wasn't only the fact that she wasn't a real person, but it
14:23
was that she was a child. And knowing what kind of predator Nicholas is, I'm sure you can connect the dots here. Now,
14:29
of course, this sick obsession would show not only how far detached from reality Nicholas was becoming, but also
14:36
how dangerous he could be. The question now is how far would he go? So, circling
14:42
back to the clip at the beginning of this video, you may have connected the dots by now. Nicholas saw himself as
14:47
Clementine's protector. And when he saw his sister play The Walking Dead in front of him and then in the video game
14:54
choose to kill someone in front of Clementine. Well, bizarrely, this sent Nicholas into a rage, therefore leading
15:01
him to make this video in full. On June 30th, my sister decided to make the unic
15:07
choices in episode one of season 1 of The Walking Dead games. And for that,
15:12
her face will be mutilated further than necessary. I also recall a video by
15:18
Living Echo on YouTube. Best of Lee and Clementine definitive edition. It was a
15:24
compilation and he decided to kill Larry in front of Clementine. And then I later learned he
15:31
decided to kill the St. John's in front of
15:36
Clementine. I am the chosen one. Chosen by Clementine. I am guided
15:44
as Christians are guided by Jesus Christ.
15:49
And there will be no more killings of Larry's in front of Clementine. No more
15:56
killings of St. John's in front of Clementine. and overall Clementine's
16:03
content will be preserved,
16:09
maximized. That's the message I want to give out. While Nicholas spent his nights
16:16
buried in violent fantasies and his days slipping into further isolation, life
16:21
would carry on for the rest of his family at home. It is easy to forget that at the time he was still living
16:27
with his mother and his two younger siblings. And although their household was far from picture perfect, Juliana
16:34
was doing everything that she could to hold it all together. Life as a single mother can be tough. But at least
16:40
Raymond was around for his children from time to time. Juliana did seem to notice the troubling signs that both teachers
16:47
and classmates had started seeing at school. Not only was her son becoming distant and withdrawn, but he was
16:54
increasingly difficult to reach. And this was especially noticeable after the year 2022 once he transitioned into
17:01
college. As we know, that brief chapter would end quite abruptly once he was expelled. And whatever hope she had for
17:08
him regaining structure or direction would quickly slip away. But in the background, Juliana was working
17:14
full-time to support her family. And despite everything, strongly stood by her son. She loved Nicholas deeply and
17:22
she wanted to help him. And so with that in mind, both she and Raymond agreed to refer him to local mental health
17:28
services. From the outset, autism was strongly suspected. Nicholas struggled with social situations, recoiled from
17:36
group interaction, and often seemed to be uncooperative in lessons. However, no
17:41
official diagnosis was ever made. He resisted the process entirely. It was
17:46
quite clear that he didn't want any help whatsoever, and maybe he believed that he didn't need it. As the people around
17:53
him began to silently worry, he was thinking only of one thing. September
17:58
the 13th. His preparations were now picking up speed and there was no sign
18:03
of slowing down. September the 12th, 2024. For most
18:09
families across England, it was just an ordinary Thursday night. The humdrum final hours of a working week before the
18:16
weekend. But inside the quiet apartment home in Enfield, North London, something
18:22
far more sinister was unfolding. After having taken possession of a shotgun and two boxes of cartridges only one day
18:29
prior, Nicholas was now armed and dangerous. Throughout the evening, and while his family slept only rooms away,
18:36
he sat behind his computer screen, obsessively researching. It was during this evening that he spent an entire
18:42
hour reading about the impact of shotgun injuries to the neck. It was becoming clear that not only was this supposed to
18:49
be the weapon used to kill other people, but also the very one that he planned to die by. However, his browser history did
18:57
not stop there. Throughout the night, he read more case studies of school massacres, viewed reports on the murder
19:02
of Sarah Everard, and then chillingly began to look at images of necrilia. at
19:08
4:11 a.m. and while the rest of the house remained silent, he sat in the dark watching extreme animated
19:14
pornography. Half an hour had passed and then at 4:42 a.m. the last images he
19:20
looked at were photos from school shootings with Coline being among them. It was kind of like he was trying to
19:26
soak himself in the horror one final time. A ritual and a farewell before his own final actions. He then began to
19:34
prepare his bag, loading both the weapon and ammunition inside. His plan was to leave at dawn, make his way to his old
19:41
primary school, and then unleash his unspeakable violence. However, what Nicholas didn't count on was that only
19:48
hours before his departure, he would be confronted by his own mother, Juliana.
19:53
You see, Juliana had woken early, and what she found would change everything. And in that moment, Nicholas crossed a
20:00
violent line that he could never come back from. Only a few seconds later, next
20:08
door neighbors who were on the other side of the wall and below them could hear a severe disturbance. They had no
20:14
idea what was going on, but of course, we know that Juliana was being attacked. Her son, that being the boy that she had
20:21
raised and nurtured for so many years, was now preparing for murder. And tragically, his mother was on that list.
20:28
That is when he raised his gun and shot his own mother point blank in the face. Juliana tragically died instantly, her
20:35
body collapsing in the hallway. It isn't clear if he did this immediately after or a few minutes later, but he would
20:41
then place a book on her legs. And that book was titled How to Kill Your Family. His 9-year-old sister Jazelle must have
20:48
woken up from the gunshots because only moments later, she got out of bed and started walking towards the hallway.
20:54
That is when Nicholas saw her from across the room and fired towards her. Jiselle had no idea what was going on.
21:00
But what she did know is that she was now terrified of her brother. And that is when she ran into the living room and
21:06
tried to hide behind furniture. But to Nicholas, this was all part of the plan. And so he followed her. And when he
21:12
found her, he raised the gun to her right eye and fired. Meanwhile, his brother Kyle tried to do something a
21:19
little bit different. He ran towards the kitchen and armed himself with a knife. But this seemed to only anger Nicholas
21:25
further. Nicholas then shot Kyle in the chest, but this did not kill him. Instead, he grabbed the kitchen knife
21:31
off his brother and stabbed him more than 100 times. By the way, the number of stab wounds would indicate that this
21:37
homicide was extraordinarily emotionally charged. And so, Nicholas was likely furious with his brother. And if you're
21:44
wondering, Nicholas stabbed him in the face, head, neck, torso, and all over his limbs. He really did not hold back
21:51
here. Despite the severe trauma and while being stabbed, Kyle would then drag himself into the hallway where he
21:58
saw his own mother's body. And then in that final second, Kyle raised the
22:03
shotgun and shot him in the head, too. At 5:29 a.m., the first call was
22:09
made to emergency services. Police arrived on the scene 21 minutes later at 5:50, and by 6:08 a.m., officers had
22:17
forced entry into the apartment. What they found inside was a blood soaked nightmare. Blood was found across the
22:24
walls, floors, and ceiling, and all three family members were confirmed dead at the scene. Detectives found several
22:30
knives at the crime scene, all of which were bent out of shape. They would also find the book that Nicholas had left
22:36
behind resting on his mother. But as for Nicholas himself and his shotgun, they were gone. A surveillance camera
22:43
captured Nick leaving the flat at 5:33 a.m. only 4 minutes after the first call
22:48
was made. And for the next 2 hours, he evaded the police like a worm. At 6:22,
22:54
and while crouched in a bush near his flat, he posted a pre-recorded video to Facebook, that being the one about
23:00
Clementine and his sister. By now, the area was swarming with police officers, and Nicholas realized that he was far
23:07
too early for his plans because school hadn't even started yet. His timeline had shifted into unrealistic territory,
23:14
and his plan was now falling apart. At 7:55 a.m., Nicholas left his hiding spot
23:20
and walked down Brammingham Road towards a passing police car, which he flagged down with a raised hand. Here, officers
23:26
noticed that his hands, clothes, and even his glasses were covered in blood. Okay, you do not have to say anything,
23:32
but it may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned. So, for today's run in court, anything you do
23:38
say, you may be given an evidence. What road we on? Uh BMur 46 priority. Uh
23:44
Birmingham Road. I think we've got the offender. Murder.
23:50
It's not a murder. Yes. Yes. We've got a male here. He's presented himself to us. Um can we get another unit down here, please? Nicholas believed that all the
23:57
schools in the area would now be locked down and so his plan was ultimately foiled. It was for this reason that he
24:03
decided to surrender. But the reality is that life carried on as usual and no school had shut. This means that
24:10
technically if he had tried then he may have even succeeded in his plans. A knife was found in his pocket and
24:17
although he had abandoned his shotgun and all 33 cartridges, all of them were recovered along the route between the
24:23
tower block and the school. He had also discarded two mobile phones along the way. But when police officers questioned
24:30
Nicholas, he didn't seem distressed at all. In fact, he seemed to be quite cheerful. He made casual conversation
24:36
with the police and would even ask if the local schools had now gone into lockdown. It is noted that he showed no
24:43
emotion, no panic, no mental breakdown, and no stress. He seemed to be just a
24:48
calm, collected young man, proud of what he had achieved, but also disappointed that his plans hadn't gone further.
24:56
Moving into the legal proceedings of this case, Nicholas was charged with three counts of murder and a whole range
25:02
of other charges, too, including illegal possession of a shotgun and forging a certificate to buy one. It is worth
25:08
highlighting here that during their investigation, officers would find hundreds of indecent images of children
25:14
on Nicholas's phone. But due to the severity of the other crimes he was facing, no additional charges were
25:20
issued, which I do find weird and incredibly frustrating because if you're found with incriminating evidence, then
25:26
surely you should be held accountable regardless, right? Well, unfortunately, you'll soon learn that this is only the
25:32
first frustrating decision made by the judiciary system. More on that in a moment. Similar to many other British
25:38
cases that I've covered, which include young men, Nicholas gave very little away in his interview the following day.
25:43
And if you forgot what that looks like, here it is. Did you kill them? No comments. Police got called there to a
25:50
disturbance and found um your mom, brother, and sister dead. Um explain to
25:59
me what happened. No comments. Did you kill your mom, brother, and sister? No
26:05
comments. Is it your shotgun? No comments. Is that the shotgun that was used to kill your mom and your brother
26:10
and sister? No comments. I mean, I can confirm that this knife was taken from you by police officers. Okay. No
26:16
comments. Um, why did you have that knife in your pocket? No comments. Uh,
26:22
who's it's obviously covered in blood. Whose blood is that? No comments. Have you stabbed someone with that knife? No
26:29
comments. When police got there and found your mom, your brother, and your sister, uh, on your mom or right next to
26:36
her, um, is a book called How to Kill Your Family. Have you ever seen a book
26:43
with a cover like that at your at your home address? No comments. Does it belong to you? No comments. Would it
26:48

26:54
Does it was find found right next to your mom? No comments. Was it just a coincidence that your mom fell where
26:59
that book was? No comments. Have you read that book? No comments.
27:05
Book with that title was right next to your mom. Has it got any significance? No comments. Have you been planning how
27:11
to kill your family? No comments. Did you get any tips from that book? No comments. After his arrest, Nicholas
27:17
didn't only confess to the killings, but he also revealed something far more chilling. While speaking with a mental
27:23
health nurse in custody, he calmly explained that he'd spent the past year planning this massacre and intended to
27:30
leave 34 people dead and then end with him taking his own life. He told the nurse that only one year prior he had
27:37
tried and failed to rob a gun dealer. And so after going back to the drawing board, he forged a gun certificate
27:43
instead. I mean, the fact that this even worked is horrifying. Yet even still, that is not the worst of it. He admitted
27:51
that his original plan before the school shooting was to kill his family first while they slept. And if that wasn't
27:57
enough already, he also planned to sexually assault his very own sister. I mean, that's not just evil. That is
28:04
outright disgusting. Genuinely, it's the kind of confession that will really make your stomach turn. Once his family were
28:10
dead, Nicholas then said that he would have left the flat around 8:30 in the morning, arrived at St. Joseph's Primary
28:17
School by 9:00 a.m., and then enter a classroom, and pretend to rob the teachers before then doing his
28:24
deed. But, as we know, in the early hours of that morning, something that he never anticipated happened. His mother
28:31
woke up early and interrupted his plans. And just like that, his grand scheme was
28:36
thrown off course. If you think about it, her waking up early is probably one of the most tragic things that could
28:42
have ever happened to her. But in doing so, she likely saved dozens of children's lives. And on that note, I
28:49
really do believe that we should remember Juliana not as a victim, but a hero instead. While on trial, it came
28:55
out that Nicholas had already been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. But the judge would make it very clear
29:02
here. This diagnosis did not prevent him from understanding the nature of his actions. It was evident that he knew
29:08
exactly what he was doing. I mean, he had quite literally been planning this for over a year. As always, I think it's
29:15
important to clarify here that autism does not mean that someone is violent or lacks empathy. Millions of people live
29:21
with autism. And they are no more likely to commit violence than anyone else. At his first court appearance back in
29:28
September of 2024, his father, Ry, shouted something that shocked everyone
29:33
who stood nearby. While Nicholas was being led out of the courtroom, he shouted, "I still love you, son. It's
29:40
not your fault, okay?" before then breaking into tears. Now, I understand a
29:45
parent's love, but seriously, not his fault. I don't care how deep your love
29:50
runs. There are some things that cannot and simply should not be excused. On February the 24th, 2025, Nicholas
29:58
Prosper pleaded guilty to multiple charges. Again, that including illegally purchasing a firearm, the murders of his
30:05
mother Juliana Falcon, his sister Jazelle, and his brother Kyle, as well as possession of a firearm with intent
30:12
to endanger life, and possession of a bladed article. Nicholas later refused to attend court for a sentencing, which
30:19
in turn would delay proceedings until the judge had finally had enough and ordered him to appear. And on March the
30:25
19th, 2025, justice, at least in part, was served. As a result, Nicholas
30:31
Prosper was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 49 years behind bars.
30:36
But even still, that was not enough for the public, and it sparked outrage across the nation. Since then, his
30:42
sentence has been referred to the attorney's general office for reconsideration. This process is still
30:48
ongoing, and so there is a real chance that his sentence may be extended. And honestly, I really do hope this happens.
30:54
This monster should spend the rest of his life behind bars. I mean, here are the facts. Nicholas is a triple
31:00
murderer. He wanted to kill 34 more other people, bought a shotgun to do so, and had hundreds of indecent images of
31:07
children on his phone. That kind of sounds like the person who should be kept away from society for the rest of
31:12
his life, don't you think? And this case leaves us with more than just horror, but questions, too. Questions like, how
31:19
did Nicholas slip through the cracks without anyone noticing? And I'm not just talking about how he actually
31:25
managed to get hold of a shotgun in the UK, but also his long and terrible history on the internet. Honestly, how
31:32
did nobody realize this? As a second thought, it really does make you realize how unfiltered and unmodderated the
31:38
internet can be. This is also a reminder that mental health awareness is not just about support, but prevention, too.
31:45
Because sometimes recognizing the red flags can quite literally save
31:50
lives. Before we end this story, I do want to take a moment to remember the lives that were lost here. Juliana
31:57
Falcon was a mother, a woman who worked hard, loved fiercely, and was simply
32:02
trying to guide her children through life. Her 16-year-old son, Kyle, had his whole future ahead of him. And Jiselle,
32:09
who was only 13 years old at the time, was still discovering who she was. All
32:14
three of them were innocent, and they were taken far too soon by someone they loved in the most brutal way imaginable.
32:21
Neighbors described Juliana as someone who lived for her children. Teachers at Lee Mana High School described Jiselle
32:28
as a beautiful soul and a model pupil. And a friend described Kyle, who was
32:33
passionate about football and boxing as really nice, confident, and welcoming. It is crucial to remember here that
32:39
these three were not merely victims. They were a family, a mother and her two
32:44
children who all deserved safety, love, and a future.
32:50
Ironically, Nicholas wanted the world to remember him as some sort of evil and dark Coline killer, but instead they
32:57
will just remember him as some weird, sick individual who is obsessed with cartoon characters. Anyway, those are my
33:03
thoughts and so concludes the end of this video. But before I go, I'd love to know what you think about this one because there is a lot to unpack here.
33:09
To begin with, what do you think about Nicholas Prosper? And what do you think his family could have done to help
33:14
prevent him from falling so far? As always, please share your thoughts in the comments down below. Anyway, folks,
33:20
I'm going to wrap this video up here because I can see the battery is dying yet again. On that note, I'll be back again next week for another video, and
33:27
I'll probably try something a little bit different. So, keep your eyes peeled. Thank you again to NordVPN for
