Two of Rob Reiner’s children mourned their slain parents – and did not mention their brother who is accused of killing them – in a heartfelt statement Wednesday.
“Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day,” said Jake and Romy Reiner.
“The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren’t just our parents; they were our best friends.”
The pair added they “are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support we have received not only from family and friends but people from all walks of life.”
The statement comes as their brother, Nick, briefly appeared in court Wednesday morning after he was officially booked on a pair of first-degree murder charges.
Here’s the latest on the death of Rob Reiner:
The troubled middle child is accused of fatally stabbing both Rob, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, inside their Brentwood estate early Sunday.
Romy Reiner stumbled on the gruesome scene and Nick was later captured that night.
“We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave,” Jake and Romy concluded in Wednesday’s statement.
