London: A UK teenager who killed three family members and planned to outdo notorious US massacres to become "the world's most famous school shooter of the 21st century" was on Wednesday jailed for a minimum of 49 years.

"Your ambition was notoriety. You wanted to be known posthumously as the world's most famous school shooter of the 21st century," said judge Bobbie Cheema-Grubb as she sentenced 19-year-old Nicholas Prosper, who was 18 at the time of the killings.
