THE son of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer is set to appear in court after he allegedly slit his parents’ throats as they laid in bed.
The gruesome details were reported ahead of Nick Reiner‘s first court appearance since the shocking murder of his parents, who were found dead inside their home in the wealthy Brentwood neighborhood in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Romy, the 27-year-old daughter of Rob Reiner, 78, and Singer, 68, reportedly stumbled upon the gruesome scene after her parents were attacked inside their home.
Reiner and his wife were found in their bed with their throats cut and could have been asleep when they were allegedly murdered by their son, 32, according to the Daily Mail.
The couple are believed to have been killed sometime between Saturday evening and around 3:30 pm on Sunday when Romy found her parents’ bodies.

A source disclosed to The U.S. Sun that attendees at the Hanukkah party were “shocked” when they learned about the murders, but “once they heard Nick was implicated, no one was surprised.”
“They had had an argument at Conan’s [O’Brien] holiday party, and Rob had been telling people that they’re scared for Nick and scared that his mental state was deteriorating,” a longtime friend of the family told the New York Post.
Nick, who is rarely seen in public, had previously been outspoken about his struggles with drug addiction and opened up in a 2016 interview with People.
The 32-year-old disclosed that he first went to rehab when he was aged 15, and after that moment, 17 additional stints followed.
He admitted that his battles with drug addiction led to him being homeless at one point, saying, “When I was out there, I could’ve died.”
“It’s all luck. You roll the dice and you hope you make it,” he told People at the time.
When she discovered her parents’ bodies, Romy reportedly told police that her brother “should be a suspect” because he is “dangerous.”
Romy told investigators that Nick had been living at their parents’ Brentwood home at the time, but was nowhere to be found when Reiner and Singer were discovered dead, according to TMZ.
