A senior detective described that as a "sliding doors moment", while one of the arresting officers said the knowledge he had prevented further killings was "very overwhelming".Sentencing, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb told Prosper: "You intended to unleash disaster on the community of Luton. Your plans were intelligent, calculating and selfish. Your ambition was notoriety."

She paid tribute to Prosper's family, saying "their deaths are almost certain to have saved the lives of many children", as it was a neighbour who called police after hearing the disturbance.Prosper killed his victims in the early hours of Friday, 13 September last year.An inquest heard each had gunshot wounds to the head. Kyle had more than 100 knife wounds. Giselle had been shot in the face.

It was the first phase of an intended assault that had been a year in the planning.Prosper planned to attack St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Gardenia Avenue, Luton, killing 30 young children and himself.

The date was no accident. He had chosen Friday the 13th "so it had a good name on it", the court heard, and had also designed a distinctive black and yellow outfit to wear.

"He wanted to be the most notorious and infamous person that's ever committed a school shooting," said Det Ch Insp Sam Khanna, of Bedfordshire Police."Our children were deprived of everything. They didn't have their childhood."

It is remarkable that these feelings were being shared so freely in a country where opposition was not tolerated; the secret police, known as the Mukhabarat, seemed to be everywhere and spying on everyone, and critics were disappeared or sent to jail, where they were tortured and killed.Across Aleppo, the new authorities installed billboards with the image of chains around two wrists saying, "Freeing detainees is a debt upon our necks".

"We're happy, but there's still fear," Samar said. "Why are we still afraid? Why isn't our happiness full? It's because of the fear they [the regime] planted inside us".Her brother, Ahmed, agreed. "You could be sent to jail for saying simple things. I'm happy, but I'm still concerned. But we'll never live under repression again".
