When the MIDWEEK NATION visited his Parris Gap, Westbury Road, St Michael home, a relative said he was there but declined to comment. When later contacted by telephone, Miller refused to comment.
He was in Jamaica attending the 34th Central American and Caribbean Championships in Kingston when the incident occurred. (Nation Newspaper)
