"Nick Reiner, 32, was arrested several hours after the bodies of his father, 78, and mother, 70, were discovered on Sunday afternoon in the couple's house in the affluent west LA neighbourhood of Brentwood. Officials said evidence gathered by the Los Angeles Police Department led homicide detectives to Reiner, who was taken into custody without incident on Sunday night at a park in downtown Los Angeles near the campus of the University of Southern California."
"Police investigators turned over the case to the district attorney's Office on Tuesday. A five-page criminal complaint containing two counts of first-degree murder were filed against Nick Reiner later in the day in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The killings ranked among the most shocking celebrity murders in Los Angeles history, eliciting comparisons by some to the stabbing deaths of O.J. Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and a friend, Ron Goldman in 1994."
