DescriptionAn award-winning British cameraman shot dead in Gaza by an Israeli soldier was murdered, a London inquest has found.

James Miller was shot by a member of the Israeli Defence Forces in May 2003 in the Rafah refugee camp while making a documentary about Palestinian children caught up in fighting with Israel.

On Thursday, the jury spokeswoman told St Pancras Coroner's Court in London: "Based on the evidence laid before us, we, the jury, unanimously agree that this was an unlawful shooting with the intention of killing James Miller. Therefore we can come to no other conclusion than that Miller was indeed murdered.

"It is a fact that from day one of this inquest, the Israeli authorities have not been forthcoming in the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Miller's death."
