SAN JOSE – A community is shocked after a bengali couple was found brutally murdered in their home.
The bodies of Golam and Shamima Rabbi were discovered in their home on Sunday. At the brutal crime scene was also a note that said “Sorry, my first kill was clumsy.”
The funerals of the San Jose couple might be delayed, because by California law, the bodies of the parents must be released to their older son.
But since 20-something Haseeb Rabbi is missing, the bodies of his parents cannot be released until May 4 to anyone else, the Evergreen Islamic Center of San Jose wrote on its Facebook page, where the couple frequented.
The couple’s 17-year-old son, who attends Evergreen High School, is considered a minor and can’t sign the papers to receive his parents, who were found killed in their Lucas Court home in the Evergreen neighborhood on Sunday afternoon.
Their killer has not yet been found, and sources told NBC Bay Area that chilling messages were scrawled on the floor and wall.
Another rant ended, sources claimed, something to the effect of: “I can’t be like you, telling a lie. I can’t love someone without telling them.”
It is unclear where Haseeb Rabbi has been since his parents were found shot to death; Shamima’s body was found near the laundry room.
San Jose police on Tuesday said they wanted to speak to him, saying that he simply might be able to answer some questions. Police also said that they don’t believe the Rabbis death was a “random act of violence,” noting that the suspect was “someone familiar to the family.” Because the the family is Muslim, and the parents hail from Bangladesh, the police department also stressed that the deaths of the Rabbis are not being investigated as a hate crime.
According to Islamic law, a body should be buried as soon as possible from the time of death. Most communities try to bury the dead within 24 hours.
If the older son does not come forward, May 4 would put the earliest funeral 10 days after their deaths. The family hopes to have a funeral at the Five Pillars Farm Cemetery in Livermore.
