Omar Golamrabbi and his brother, Hasib Golamrabbi, 22, were being held at the Santa Clara Jail in connection with the slayings last weekend of their parents.
The bodies of Shamima Rabbi, 57, and her husband, Golam Rabbi, were found last weekend in their home in the Evergreen neighborhood, located in the 3000 block of Lucas Court in San Jose.
Police have released few details but authorities have said the couple had been shot to death inside their home. And investigators have said no other suspects are being sought in connection with the case.
The Rabbis moved to San Jose from Bangladesh over 30 years ago. The couple’s slaying has shocked residents in their upscale neighborhood.
In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, the eldest of the boys told the newspaper that his younger brother was not involved in the crime and the real story would emerge during trial.
