NEW 24 Hours in Police Custody - tonight 9pm - Channel 4

[teddydaniels]

A TV documentary that follows the work of a police force will show how the investigation into the actions of a teenage killer unfolded.

Nicholas Prosper used a shotgun to kill his mother Juliana Falcon, 48, his brother Kyle, 16, and his 13-year-old sister, Giselle, at their home in Luton on 13 September 2024.
The 19-year-old, who was arrested in the hours after the murders, was jailed for 49 years in March. A trial heard he intended to carry out a shooting at his former primary school.

The Channel Four series 24 Hours in Police Custody, which follows the work of investigators at Bedfordshire Police, will feature the case over two nights on 5 and 6 October.

It didn't show the investigation in the best light,for sure. All that painstaking sifting through everything downstairs - bags and bags of it - and the loft obviously had been left untouched. It was absolutely full of stuff, including his bloodied clothes.

Presumably, had he just chucked it in the bin - or a neighbours' - that would have been that. Didn't the police at least wonder why he was so clean?

It's a wonder he ended up being convicted at all after the first trial's non verdict.

When I watch these programs I always think what would it be like if they had to search my house, old memory sticks, hard drives, lap tops, bags of clothes ( in the loft), tools and a garage full of shite that should have gone to the tip years ago.

The person responsible for the poor search in the first place, I wonder if any action is taken against them disciplinary wise? This wasn't a tiny thing in an unimportant case.

I’ve just watched the latest one ‘murder in the home’ and I am soooo angry and disgusted by the sentence

Why don't people make a new thread to discuss the new programme

It got me very confused up thread!

I'm not surprised!

Yes, very confusing!

Surely a different show (from the thread title) warrants its own thread! 🤷‍♀️

Someone has made one now

I saw it this morning

After 5yrs since his conviction I stikl cannot believe I worked alongside JaguarPalce for 16yrs.
And I’m still utterly shocked.

It says he was working as a part time driving instructor. Were there no signs that he had another income?

Already in bed (irrelevant but true) and anticipation of tonight's horror. Three cheers for 24 hours in police custody.

Can’t help but think the friend turning up at the police station is a bit of a cry for help

Is it a new one? I might watch it on +1.

Yes new two parter, one tonight and one next Sunday

Thank you.

Looking forward to watching the new one tonight. I always record then watch the next day around 7pm. I find if I watch it live I’m so angry or sad, I can’t get to sleep!

Jasmine found not guilty!

And all those 4 people who got away with it

I expect the jury felt sorry for her.
The police not so much.

How on earth was she found not guilty?

She looked so ill after the court case, she may well have been better off going to prison and getting off drugs.

As with many of the cases, it’s just all so depressing. It doesn’t seem there will ever be an end to the drugs war.

@LizzieSiddal Totally agree about the futility of it all. It’s just going round in circles, they catch the low hanging fruit and on it goes, it’s just a waste of resources really.

I do always think though that the complete acceptance of cocaine amongst the largely white working, middle and upper classes that fill the high street bars in every town every weekend, for whom it’s a way of life with zero consideration of where it comes from and in my experience from like 15 -65 (lads like that police mans sons for example, that might also have good educations, play sports etc) is a huge part of this. They have to be held to account and it should be a taboo again to actually buy drugs because of what you are effectively supporting.

Ultimately nobody gives a shit about the Asian Kev’s and the Jasmines , whether they live or die they are expendable scum bags you don’t want living on your street and I’m sad to say that probably goes for the young boys (not men) too.

I think it’s time all drugs were legalised and controlled.

*aside from all that it was a pretty boring two parter as probably reflected by the lack of comments on here.

Why on earth has my comment been hidden 30 seconds after I posted it
