Nick Reiner will be charged with two counts of first-degree murder, after he was arrested on suspicion of murdering his parents, the director and actor Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, the Los Angeles district attorney has said.
Nathan Hochman, the district attorney of Los Angeles, said the charges could carry the death penalty, and said that the counts against Nick Reiner include a special circumstance of multiple murders and a special allegation that he used a deadly weapon or knife to commit murder.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Hochman said the charges would be officially filed later today. Nick Reiner will brought to court to be arraigned on the charges after he has been medically cleared to be transferred from the jail, Hochman said.
“This case is heartbreaking and deeply personal, not only for the Reiner family and their loved ones, but for our entire city,” said Jim McDonnell, the chief of the Los Angeles police department.
