Shamima Rabbi, 57, and her husband Golam Rabbi were found dead in their San Jose home on April 24, 2016. Family members who had not heard from them for several days entered through an unlocked sliding glass door and discovered the bodies near the laundry room.

Investigators arrested the couple’s two sons: 22-year-old Hasib Bin Golam Rabbi, taken into custody in Tracy, and his 17-year-old brother, arrested in San Jose. Both were charged with the parents’ murders and held without bail; Hasib was detained at the Santa Clara County Jail and the younger son at a juvenile detention center. Hasib initially said a stranger had assaulted him and forced him to commit the killings, a claim that was not substantiated. Both brothers pleaded not guilty.

Reporting tied the motive to long-running family tensions, including the parents’ disapproval of Hasib’s sexual orientation. The family’s mosque, the Evergreen Islamic Center, said the Rabbis were active, respected members of the community. Does anyone have information about the family or those last days that could help explain what happened?
