At 7.50 am the school management was already building when two tired police officers returned to the station after a night shift that guarded a horrible triple murder scene.
But something strange caught the eye of the driver.
Wearing a yellow and black tracksuit, reminiscent of the trained murderer of Uma Thurman in Hit Movie Kill Bill, stood a lonely figure at the road and stared at the officers and held his clenched fist up in a kind of greeting.
While the patrol car stopped after the curious officers decided to take another look, Nicholas Prosper stepped forward and pointed out his bloody palm to them.
It was a casual encounter to save countless lives.
Because the routine police stop ended the rampage of a teenager shooter on his way to a primary school to shoot in a classroom of four and five-year-olds, after he had already executed three members of his family in cold-blooded.
After a year of careful planning, the 18-year-old was less than a mile away from completing his bloodthirsty mission to become the 'most notorious' school-gender in the world in his own words.
But on that sunny Friday morning on September 13 last year, the two officers had no idea when they approached Prosper that he was the man who was responsible for the triple murder scene where they were previously vigilant.

Nicholas Prosper, 19, killed his mother, brother and sister before he intended to focus on a primary school

Around 5 o'clock that day, Prosper started his shotgun rampage and shot his mother Juliana, 48, sister Giselle, 13, and brother Kyle, 16, in the head.
In a nauseating joke, he left a copy of the best -selling novel How to Kill Your Family through their bodies.
When he met the police officers hours later, Prosper still had the bloody knife in his pocket that he had used to stab his brother 100 times.
In a bush about 200 meters away, Prosper had stored a gun and 33 cartridges while lurking, counting the hours until St Joseph's Catholic Primary School opened its gates.
In the horrifying video images of his arrest, the teenage gender showed no emotion, robotic repeated to officers, “it's not a murder,” because he was fascinated.
When armed officers arrived, Prosper could not resist creating: “Did you see the fake -shotgun certificate that I made?”
The shocked officer replied: “I think we have the perpetrator.”
He knew little that this was not a normal perpetrator, Prosper was planned the 'biggest massacre in the 21st century'.
The triple shooting
At 5.30 am that day, those who live in the vicinity of the Family House of Prosper in Leabank Court, Luton, woke up by screaming and moans followed by gunshots.

While his terrified neighbors 999 Kieids reported that they had heard sounds as if someone's throat had been cut, Prosper collected his weapon before the next phase of his plan.
After placing Bella Mackie's dark comic novel about a woman who wants to kill her alienated family by the bodies of his mother and brothers and sisters, Prosper stabbed his gun and cartridges in a bag meant for fishing bars.
Only three minutes later he left the house at 5.33 am.
The murderer would later complain in prison with a nurse that the murders were performed earlier than he intended.
In a hair -raising look in his planning, Prosper produced a number of sketches with the murderous outfit that he had bought in preparation and the layout of his old primary school that he wanted to hit afterwards.
In the prison of Bedford, the then 18-year-old confessed that he “wanted to cause the biggest massacre in the 21st century,” whispering to the nurse: “I wish I had killed more.”
Prosper said he was planning to kill his family in their sleep before raping his sister, moans that his mother had woke up too early.
A note in his cell said: 'I was right in the predicting of nobody who had called the police if I had killed them in their sleep. 3 shots under 30 seconds.

'The only well -known telephone conversation with the police was made that day by the B **** (neighbor) at the door as a result of my B **** mother that she woke up and it became in a long battle.
“My plan was not 'stupid'. I was good. My mother is a stupid f ****** cow.
“But why so early? So I would have time to cannibalize my family and rape a woman on Knife Point for the shooting.
'Why? Because I could do it. '
Lurk
CCTV won the moment that Prosper made his escape through the stairwell at the tower block where his family lived and held his bag in his bloody hands at 5.33 hours.
The murderer accidentally left a yellow bucket hat that he intended to be part of the outfit.
But while he strolled outside the parking lot outside in the darkness, Prosper did not appear in a hurry. At 5.40 am he saw a wall climbing in some forest.
He hid himself there, crawling in the bush to store the weapon while he left the hours, waiting for the school to open.
Horror
When the police arrived at the Prosper's house at 5.50 am, they found a scene of massacre with the bloody handprints, knives and gun patterns of the murderer everywhere.
Within minutes, Prosper had shot his family six times – after performing a test fire on a teddy bear.
At 6.22 hours Prosper uploaded a video on Facebook, which he had recorded the day before, and promised to shoot his sister in the face.

He said: 'On June 30, my sister decided to make the incorrect choices on episode one of the season one of the [zombie apocalypse] Walking Dead Games, and for that her face will be mutilated further than necessary. '
At 6.55 am Prosper was seen who walked past Bramingham Road with his bloody hands that still pricked the nettles and thorns that he had hidden.
Prosper ignored the passing of traffic and pedestrians until he saw the passing police car at 7.50 am.
The hunting gun
Within a short time of his arrest, the police discovered the hidden gun and cartridges.
However, it would take weeks before they discovered his murderous mission.
Officers heard that Prosper had bought the gun for less than 24 hours for his fatal attacks by an unsuspecting pensioner, who he had duped with a fake Shotgun certificate. In an extraordinary Maas in the arms laws, deadly weapons can be traded privately without official checks if the buyer can produce a paper firearm certificate to the seller.
Prosper had spent months in perfecting his falsified certificate by carefully copying from real posted that he found during 200 searches on firearms.
His research started a year earlier when Prosper booked an appointment of a weapon range in September 2023, 17 years old.
He reported to various websites where weapons could be bought and sold and tried to buy a firearm on a site called Gun Trader in August 2024, but the seller withdrew after he became suspicious. Weeks later, Prosper contacted a weapon owner on another website called Gun Star and offered the seller £ 600 – £ 150 on the asking price of £ 450 – for the hunting gun and 100 cartridges.
He claimed that he just wanted to shoot a clay tuber.
They met in a parking lot on September 12, where Prosper handed cash after a short inspection of the gun in the boot of a car.
Grinning, Prosper was later seen that hugged the gun in a lift to his family's apartment.
Session
On the mobile phone of Prosper, the police found videos that showed him that he was practicing the shooting with a piece of wood in the kitchen of his family. Dressed in his murder costume, with the gun bag thrown over his shoulder, printed pretish focused on the camera.
The teenager pretended to fire a few photos with the wood before he was to the mood as if he had to be reloaded again and opened the fire, whispering, “Afraid.”
Fixed on violence
When officers were investigated two telephones, they found a pathogenic enthusiasm for violence.
Prosper had investigated every shooting at school, mass murder and bloody atrocity. Those were his crooked view that when Axel Rudakubana killed three young children in a Taylor Swift dance class in Southport in July last year, Prosper said that the riots who encouraged the matter were 'useful'.
The teenager became addicted to a distorted website that acted in Gore and Death, to be prohibited later because of his disgusting ideas about necrophilia and child abuse.
In the hours before killing his family, he pedaled at school shooting and notorious murders such as the murder of Sarah Everard in March 2021, while leafing through horrible images until 4 in the morning.
During the Prosper process, Timothy Cray, KC, told Purple, to Luton Crown Court that the teenager was fixed on 'images and audio that showed deep alienation of normal life and interest in the darkest sides of humanity, including people who are killed or seriously injured and violent video games'.
Obsessed by children
The police found more than 200 indecent images of children on the phone from Prosper.
His sexual care with young children may be a matter of planning an attack on four and five-year-olds.
Prosper was planning to focus on his old primary school, St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School, where he was remembered by teachers as a 'silent, geeky boy'.
The teenager left the Senior School in March 2023 to complain about people who were 'in his personal space' and tried to talk to him.
His family sought help from a general practitioner about 'autistic qualities', but Prosper refused to be busy.
He was not known to the police before he carried out the murders and had never been referred to the government's deradicalization schedule.
As the public prosecutor said before the court, the largest massacre of Great Britain was “only prevented by chance and circumstances.”
