CKNW is reporting that John Harvey Miller, a convicted cop killer who was recently sentenced to five years in jail for sexually abusing his three sisters in the 1950s to the 1970s, is dead.

The 63-year-old apparently died of a massive stroke Tuesday night.

Miller's sisters came forward about the abuse when their brother was granted day parole in 2004.

The siblings said the abuse only ended after Miller shot and killed 23-year-old Surrey RCMP Const. Roger Pierlot on March 29, 1974.

Miller repeatedly sexually abused his four younger sisters at the family home on the Katzie #2 Reserve in Langley.

The abuse began when the girls were four or five and continued until their mid-teens.

Miller had pleaded guilty to one count of incest and three counts of indecent assault for sexually abusing four of his sisters over a period of years in the 1960s and 1970s.

He was sentenced just last week.
