What happened?
The bodies of Juliana, Giselle and Kyle were found at a flat in Leabank, off Wauluds Bank Drive on September 13.
Suspect Nicholas Prosper was arrested nearby, on Bramingham Road, shortly after a call to police over concerns for the welfare of individuals at the address.
Tributes were paid by members of the public and the former schools of both Giselle and Kyle.
Dozens of bouquets, candles, teddies, and a balloon were laid at the foot of the building, in which the three lifeless bodies were found.
Statement released by the family
In a statement released to Bedfordshire Police, the family remembered Juliana - whom they called Julie - as "a strong, loving mother to her four beautiful children, who were her absolute world".
The tribute went on to say: "In her spare time, she was a keen athlete and enjoyed raising money for charity – she was always putting others first.
"Kyle was a kind and funny young man who loved football and boxing. He was creative and thriving on TikTok, a big talent with massive potential. Kyle’s friends were his everything.
"Giselle was a beautiful soul and caring young girl; she liked to laugh lots and loved her family and big brothers. She was so loveable with an infectious smile. She was also an exceptional pupil at school and was loved dearly by her friends in Year 9."
The family also thanked their loved ones and the wider community for their support in the time following the incident.
