Here we look at the key elements that led to his successful prosecution.

Engagement ring: Key to the police investigation was her engagement ring. Miller admitted he was searching the internet looking up sites to pawn it on. However he said this was because she sent him explicit messages of herself with another man. However the timing of the emails revealed he had carried out the searches around 13 minutes before the images were actually sent. The prosecution claimed this was "the last straw ... a last humilitaiton...being shown to be a cuckold" and in his rage he killed Charlotte.

It was Charlotte who had proposed to Miller in 2012 - a leap year.

Mobile phone: Miller claimed Ms Murray sent him messages from Belfast after her supposed disappearance to "lay a false trail" she was still alive but cell site analysis found the phone never left the Moy area. The prosecution claimed that Mr Miller had the opportunity and motive to murder Charlotte. He was with her, it claims, both before and after she allegedly disappeared. She also left behind her dog Bella and car, which he later sold.

Mr Miller told the jury that he wanted Charlotte “to walk through the door someday and say, 'sorry about all of this'.”

Christmas present axe: It was claimed three weeks after her "disappearance" Miller dismembered and disposed of her body using an axe and a saw he'd bought online for the gruesome task, and not as a Christmas present for his dad, as he had claimed.
