In a tweet written on Monday, she says for the first time about the event.
"Respect my family's privacy""I still have trouble processing last week's news," she writes on Twitter. “My heart aches for everyone involved, especially for the victims and their families. There is nothing I can say that will cure anyone's pain, but I want to express my sincere condolences to everyone involved. ”
Her brother is charged with, among other things, murder, murder and robbery.
"I want everyone to respect my family's privacy while dealing with the pain," she continues.
