Rob and Michelle’s children Jake and Romy are to hold a memorial service following their parents’ gruesome murder.
“Jake and Romy Reiner remain grateful for the outpouring of love and support they have received,” reads a statement from the brothers’ publicist provided to People on Monday.
“We plan to share information about a memorial service in memory of our parents at a later date.”
Representatives for the Reiner family could not immediately be reached for comment to Page Six.
Rob, 78, and Michelle, 70, were stabbed in their Los Angeles home on Sunday, December 14th. Sources told The Post that it was Romy who made the grisly discovery of the murdered director and told officers to make his brother Nick a person of interest.
Later that night, Nick is arrested on suspicion of murdering his parents.
A representative for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told Page Six that the 32-year-old man was taken to the Parker Center Jail in downtown Los Angeles and then transferred to the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, where he is being held without bail and reportedly on suicide watch.
Nick was indicted on Tuesday, Dec. 16, on two counts of first-degree murder with the special circumstances of multiple murders.
He made his first court appearance on Wednesday, December 17th. He had his hands and feet shackled and was wearing a suicide prevention smock.
After a short hearing, Nick’s lawyer, prominent criminal defense attorney Alan Jackson, announced to reporters outside the courthouse that his arraignment is scheduled for January 7th.
Jake, 34, and Romy, 28, also released a joint statement after the hearing.
“Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of our day. The horrifying and devastating loss of our parents, Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner, that no one should ever have to experience. They were not just our parents, they were our best friends,” they said through their representatives.
“We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness and support from people from all walks of life, as well as family and friends.”
They added: “We ask now for respect and privacy, that speculation be tempered with compassion and humanity, and that our parents live a wonderful life and be remembered for the love they gave.”
The two did not mention any siblings.
