Hi mpierrela
According to The Nachtjagd War Diaries by Boiten and Mackenzie his 12th victim was Wellington X (HZ263) "EX-E" of 199 Sqn, RAF flown by F/Lt WJ King, all killed. Wellington III (BK340) "KW-T" of 425 Sqn, RAF flown by Sgt JGGC Lamontagne, all POW was shot down by Leutnant Oskar Köstler of 10./NJG 1 as his fourth victory according to the same source. Köstler claimed six victories, including three on the night in question prior to his death in Bf 110 F-4 (W.Nr. 4811) in aerial combat over Doornspijk on 9 April 1943. Apparently his last victim was Lancaster III (ED618) "SR-X" of 101 Sqn, RAF flown by F/Sgt JD Steele, all killed which exploded with such force it brought his aircraft down. I hope this helps.
Horrido!
