Her family held a gender reveal for the unborn child today, with blue glitter indicating Miller would have delivered a baby boy.

Miller’s sisterя╗┐ Alison told 9News she wants justice and is devastated by the loss of her sister who leaves behind a little boy.

“Words can’t express how I feel about my sister. Knowing it would have been a boy. This little guy would have had a brother to grow up with,” she said.

“This is proof there was a baby that was going to be born and it got taken away from us.”

я╗┐Alison said Miller’s son is still wondering where his mum is.

“я╗┐But now knowing there would have been two of them running around,” she said.

Miller’s partnerя╗┐ Philip Edmonds said he wants more justice.

The Perth dad said he’s “trying to my best with my only baby boy”.
