Brothers held for murder of their parents in San Jose

SAN JOSE (KRON) – The two sons of a couple found dead in their San Jose home have been arrested in connection to the double homicide, according to police.

Hasib Golam Rabbi, 23, and his brother, 17, were arrested Wednesday and are being held as suspects in their parent’s murder.

San Jose residents Shamima Rabbi, 57 and Golam Rabbi, 59, were found shot dead in the 3000 block of Lucas Court at 1:47 p.m. Sunday, according to police.

Hasib Golam Rabbi was arrested in Tracy and is being held at the Santa Clara County Jail without bail.

His younger brother, who’s identity has not been released since he is a minor, was arrested in San Jose and has been booked into the Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall.

San Jose police announced Tuesday that they were looking to question the older son and said they had questioned the younger brother after the deaths.

Police say there are no other suspects in this case.

The husband and wife were both long time volunteers at the Evergreen Islamic Center in San Jose. People at the center say the entire community is in shock.

The 17-year-old son is a student at Evergreen Valley High School. The school issued a statement saying “we are in shock and disbelief regarding this tragic event.”

The school will haver counselors and support staff available to the students at the school.

A memorial for the couple is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Friday at the Evergreen Islamic Center.
