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.

No way is this suitable for a 14 year old to watch. It's also missing the point somewhat, the games did not turn him into a shooter so I'm not sure what point the school will be trying to make.

Lies of talk about him bring severely autistic yet no evidence of that from the psychiatrist's report.

I completely agree. He reminded me so much of a child I taught, even looked like him. It was so clear he was exhibiting autistic traits from the moment he was arrested and I found it very hard to watch.
The child I taught was funny, articulate, capable of really kind and thoughtful behaviour and was loved and supported by his family. This programme really made me think about what could happen to him if he fell into the kind of hell hole NP fell into.
I think as a society we really are blind to the damage being done by the horrific things that are so readily accessible on the internet. My DH was completely shocked and appalled at what NP was accessing but anyone who works with children or young people and has decent safeguarding training knows just how dangerous and unregulated the internet is. And it's there at the click of a switch, in children's bedrooms and homes.
I was interested that the psychologist who met him said that, whilst NP did show autistic traits, he was still primarily driven by choice and ideology. The whole programme was disturbing and frightening but important nonetheless.

**lots of talk not lies

Is it a new one tonight or a repeat?

New

Says it's new episodes tonight

American serviceman? Could get interesting.

This is a fast paced start - extraordinary and awful

Just what I thought - complicates matters

Sat watching

How sad that theyve died

I was worried he was going to start shooting the police car then.

Oh 🥺

Those poor kids.

'They don't show this bit on the telly, do they?' Jesus.

How did he/ they think that killing anyone was going to solve anything ?

Maybe he thought with the guy out of the way then his daughter and her husband could go to the US?

Maybe the plan was that Stephen would take the blame, the couple ‘knew nothing’ , they will be able to go to the US with the two children .

oops sorry posted twice Stephen is so arrogant. I could slap him.

Stephen is so arrogant. I could slap him.

He really is.

Do we know why Sam, husband and family were staying in a hotel ? And Paul didn’t seem very surprised that a bunch of armed police were suddenly outside his room telling him to come out

Yes I wondered this? Unless they were staying close for the court hearing?

That was madness, what on earth was his thought process behind that. He doesn't seem particularly bothered does he?

Wow this is quite gripping tonight

And shocking

I thought that could be the only answer but I also had the impression that there had been a bit more time elapsed between the judgement and the murders. There was so much going on last night with the pursuit etc that I might have missed some details.
