Sophie Miller wants a full inquiry into her husband's death

Sophy Miller of Braunton, and the family of her husband, James, are campaigning to ensure there is a criminal investigation into the shooting.

34-year-old Mr Miller - father of eight-month-old Lottie and Alex, 3, - died in May as he was on a filming mission in Rafah in the Gaza Strip, talking to Palestinian families with journalist Saira Shah.

His family believe that he was targeted by an Israeli soldier and shot in the neck as he waved a white flag.

It was a fatal shot, I believe he was targeted Sophy Miller

"I'd gone to bed early and all I was aware of was being woken up by the answer machine," said Mrs Miller, describing the night she was told her husband was dead.

"I ignored it at first and then looked at the time and realised something was wrong.

"I had Saira on the phone telling me that he was dead."

At first the Israeli authorities say he was shot in crossfire.

But witnesses who were with him dispute that.

Subsequent investigations showed that he was killed by a bullet used by the Israeli Defence Force (IDF), and Sophie says he was hit in the one unprotected part of his body.

"It was in a small bare area between his flak jacket and his helmet.

"It was a fatal shot, I believe he was targeted."

The British Government, and the Millers' MP, Nick Harvey, are pressing the Israelis to hold a full and open investigation.

The inquiry is currently an internal one by the IDF but Mrs Miller wants there to be a criminal examination of what happened.

"We are determined to achieve justice for James and I believe, that over time, we will do so."
