A relative said the
siblings had gone to Oakland, California, on Saturday morning and were not
around when their parents' bodies were discovered.
The bodies of Golam and
Shamima Rabbi were found at the weekend in their San Jose property. Each had
been shot at least once.
Hasib Bin Golamrabbi, 22,
and his 17-year-old brother, a high school student, were both detained on
Wednesday, police said.
The older brother, who is
reportedly a San Jose State University, was missing until taken into custody
Wednesday night, said authorities.
A motive for the double
homicide remains unclear.
But sources told NBC Bay
Area the parents did not approve that the older son was gay.
Mr Rabbi, 59, worked as an
engineer and Mrs Rabbi, 57, was employed as an accountant.
Their funeral is scheduled
for Friday.
Hasan Rahim, a board member
at the Rabbis' local mosque, the Evergreen Islamic Center, told the TV station:
"I can't believe it."
He described both sons as
"taciturn" and "not very communicative".
The Rabbis were discovered
on Sunday afternoon by friends who came to check on them.
A message written in ink on
the hardwood floor beside their bodies said: "Sorry, my first kill was
clumsy."
Another message said:
"I can't be like you, telling a lie. I can't love someone without telling
them."
The couple emigrated to the
US from Bangladesh decades ago.
