His aunt, Vivian Miller spoke about his talents and his upbringing.

She said: "He was a talented dancer.

"He was singing and performing when he was young and used to sing at church."

At Jeffrey Dahmer's trial, Ernest's uncle, Stanley Miller spoke about how there is no space for a person like Jeffrey in this world.

He said: "There is no place in a civilised society for anyone who shows no regard for life.
