We are devastated by the loss of our loved ones and are horrified to hear what Nicholas had planned.
He had completely isolated himself from us over the past year, and we had no knowledge of his intentions.
We now see the deaths of Juliana, my son Kyle, and daughter Giselle had much more meaning and importance.
Their deaths and the fast response of Bedfordshire Police stopped any other family in the community going through pain we have suffered.
For now, we would ask people to remember Juliana, Kyle, and Giselle for the people they were.
Julie was a strong, loving mother to her four children who were her absolute world. In her spare time, she was a keen athlete and enjoyed raising money for charity.
Kyle was a kind and funny young man who loved football and boxing. He was a big talent with massive potential.
Giselle was a beautiful soul and caring young girl with an infectious smile. She was also an exceptional pupil at school and was loved dearly by her friends.
We would like to thank the police for their thorough investigation and for supporting us through this difficult time.
We would also like to thank the wider community who have been tremendously supportive and generous with donations to help with funeral arrangements.
We know that this awful incident has affected others as well as ourselves, but we now want to be able to grieve and to try to move on as a family in private.
