The siblings of a man arrested in connection with the brutal killing of their parents have issued a devastating public statement, describing their 'unimaginable pain'. Romy and Jake Reiner spoke out after their brother, Nick Reiner, was taken into custody by police investigating the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner.
A Statement of Unimaginable Grief
In a heart-wrenching release, Romy and Jake Reiner said that 'words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day'. They addressed the horrific loss of their parents, stating that the devastating event was 'something that no one should ever experience'. The pair emphasised the profound bond they shared with their mother and father, revealing 'They weren't just our parents; they were our best friends.'
A Plea for Compassion and Privacy
Amidst the swirling speculation following the arrest, the bereaved brother and sister made a direct appeal to the public. They asked for 'respect and privacy' during this traumatic time and urged people to treat conjecture surrounding the case with 'compassion and humanity'. The siblings also expressed profound gratitude for the widespread support they have received, noting the 'outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support' from not only close family and friends but also from 'people from all walks of life'.
Remembering Rob and Michele Reiner
Above all, Jake and Romy stated their desire for their parents to be remembered for the 'incredible lives they lived and the love' they gave. The family was once pictured in happier times, with a photograph showing Nick Reiner standing next to his parents and siblings during a visit to the White House in 2016. The image, where Nick is second from the right, Romy on the left, and Jake second from the left, now serves as a poignant reminder of the family unit shattered by tragedy.
The investigation continues as the family attempts to navigate their grief while the legal process involving their brother unfolds.
