| 2016-04-30 |
[Dhaka Tribune] Police have placed in durance vileBook 'im, Mahmoud! two sons of a Bangladeshi couple who were rubbed out inside their house in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,. Hasib Bin Golam Rabbi, 22, and his 17-year-old brother were taken into custody on Thursday, reports AP. Police did not disclose the teenager’s name because of his age. Golam and Shamima Rabbi were found dead inside their San Jose residence on Sunday by friends who came to check on them. A source told local media ABC7 News off-camera they found a gruesome scene, with the bodies of the couple lying on the hardwood floor, and a message in ink that read: "Sorry, my first kill was clumsy." According to the report, the couple were popular fixtures at their mosque for three decades and had helped relatives emigrate from their native Bangladesh. Word of the deaths of Shamima and Golam Rabbi and the arrest of their sons sent shock waves through the close-knit Muslims who perform at nearby Evergreen Islamic Centre. "Everybody is praying that it is somebody else who did this and not the kids," said Abdul Jaka, a co-founder of the mosque where the couple performed their prayers and attended holiday celebrations and other events. "They were a nice family." The victims’ nephew Golam Mustakim and his family emigrated from Bangladesh in 2000 and initially stayed with the Rabbis in their four-bedroom home. Jason Wong, 16, a classmate of the 17-year-old at Evergreen Valley High School, said the junior was "quiet and kept to himself mostly." Wong, also a junior, said he saw the teen on campus on Monday, the day after his parents were found dead. "I did not think anything was wrong then because I didn’t know his parents had died," Wong said. "But now it seems strange." Relatives discovered the bodies, and it was not clear how long the couple had been dead, police front man Sgt Enrique Garcia said. No further details were released. "This is one of those tragedies nobody ever wants to be in," mosque front man Faisal Yazadi said. "All we can do is pray." It was not immediately clear if the suspects have attorneys. They were being held without bail. The older son was expected to be in court yesterday. An appearance date for the teen was not immediately available. |
