Sons arrested for murder of parents Golam and Shamima Rabbi

Police arrested 22-year-old Hasib Bin Golamrabbi and his 17-year-old brother on suspicion of homicide.

They’re being held without bail. The teen’s name wasn’t released.

The brothers are accused of killing Shamima and Golam Rabbi, who were found dead on Sunday.

Police spokesman Sgt. Enrique Garcia says relatives discovered the bodies. It was unknown how long the couple had been dead. Police haven’t released a motive in the killings.

Their bodies, each shot once, were left on the floor of their home in San Jose, next to a chilling note that read: ‘Sorry, my first kill was clumsy.’

Another message written across the wall was a little bit more cryptic.

“I can’t be like you, telling a lie. I can’t love someone without telling them” it said, and claimed that Mrs Rabbi begged for her life before she was killed.

The husband and wife often hosted relatives as a first step in their own jouey from their native Bangladesh to the United States.

The couple’s nephew, Golam Mustakim, and his family emigrated from Bangladesh in 2000. Upon arriving in the United States, they stayed with the Rabbis in their four-bedroom home in San Jose.

KNTV reports that board members at the Evergreen Islamic Centre in San Jose said the bodies of the parents were released on Wednesday afteoon to relatives and the funeral is being planned for Friday at the Five Pillars Farm Cemetery in Livermore.

Mosque spokesman Faisal Yazadi did not know about the arrest of the younger son until notified by a reporter.

“Needless to say,” he said. “This is one of those tragedies nobody ever wants to be in. All we can do is pray. This is a family matter and a police investigation.”
