The following is a statement from the family of Charles Roger Millar (known as Roger):

"The Millar family takes no gratification from the verdict that has come today as no verdict would ever be able to bring Roger back.

"However we do take satisfaction in the fact that the Justice system in our country works and works well as shown by the result today.

"The passing of our brother Roger has left a large whole in the lives of everyone he came in contact with.

"Roger was the complete gentleman and has been described so, not only by the Millar family but colleagues that he worked with whilst serving his country With the Corps of the Royal Engineers both home and abroad.

"We would like to thank Mr Lickley QC and the Crown Prosecution Service along with Detective Inspector Matthew Davey and the Major Crime Investigation Team from Wiltshire Police for all the hard work and dedication that they have shown throughout the whole of this case.

"We would also like to thank Audrey Carson and the staff from the Victim Homicide Service for their great work and support that they have shown to our family and close friends during this difficult period."
