"We are pleased that Prosper has pleaded guilty and will not put his family through the pain of a trial, and that he will soon face a significant jail sentence."
The family shooting unfolded on September 13 at a flat on Wauluds Bank Drive.
Police swarmed the home at around 5.30am following "welfare concerns".
Horrified neighbours claimed they heard "loud bangs" that sounded like shots being fired.
Officers discovered Juliana and two of her four children dead inside the flat.
An inquest in October heard that all three of the victims died from gunshot wounds to the head.
Their devastated family said in a statement: "Julie was a strong, loving mother to her four beautiful children, who were her absolute world.
"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.
