An 18-year-old has appeared in court charged with murdering his mother and siblings at a tower block in Luton.
Bedfordshire Police said it believed the victims were Juliana Prosper, 48; Kyle Prosper, 16, and Giselle Prosper, 13 – all of Leabank – but formal identification had not yet taken place.
Nicholas Prosper, also of Leabank, appeared at Luton Magistrates’ Court wearing a grey prison tracksuit and spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth.
He is next due to appear at Luton Crown Court on 18 September.
