A man has admitted shooting dead his mother and two siblings at their flat in Luton.
Nicholas Prosper, 19, pleaded guilty at Luton Crown Court to the murders of his mother, Juliana Falcon, 48, and his siblings, Giselle Prosper, 13, and Kyle Prosper, 16, in September last year in Luton.
Prosper, of Leabank in Luton, pleaded guilty to three counts of murder at Luton Crown Court on Monday.
He also pleaded guilty to purchasing or acquiring a shotgun without a certificate, possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and possessing an article with a blade or point.
Judge Michael Simon told the defendant his sentencing will take place on March 5 and remanded him into custody.
Police rushed to the flat at around 5.30am.
All three victims died from gunshot wounds to the head, an inquest heard. After the shooting, police said they recovered a firearm during searches close to the scene.
Det Supt Rob Hall, from the region's major crime unit, previously described the scene officers faced in the flat as “awful circumstances”.
