Miller’s killer, Lieutenant Hib al-Heib was cleared by the Israeli army inquiry and he was promoted to become a captain. Miller’s family filed a lawsuit against Israel. The Miller family won. Israel will have to pay the Miller family £1.5 million in a settlement.

In 2006, an inquest in the UK said Miller was unlawfully killed. Miller left behind his wife, Sophy Miller, and his children, Alexander Miller and Lottie Miller.
