It's a terrifying twist to an already tragic tale. Friends of Golam and Shamima Rabbi discovered the San Jose couple, dead from gunshot wounds, inside the family home on Sunday after coming to check on them. Written next to the couple on the floor in ink they found the following message: "Sorry, my first kill was clumsy." So reports ABC 7, which further notes that the Rabbis, aged 59 and 57, were devout attendees of a local mosque, and lived a quiet life. San Jose police have not confirmed the discovery of the note, or its contents.

Golam worked as an engineer, and Shamima worked as an accountant. The two had emigrated from Bangladesh before settling down in San Jose. The Rabbis have two sons, 17 and 21, who were reportedly not home at the time of the murders.

KTVU says that the couple was found around 2 p.m. Sunday after relatives had been having trouble reaching them.

The LA Times observes that the married couple volunteered with the South Bay Islamic Association and the Evergreen Islamic Center, both in San Jose. ABC 7 reports that members of the Islamic Center are both saddened by the deaths, and, understandably, concerned by the note.

"We are surprised that they are no longer with us and especially going away in such a manner is something we just can't come to grips with," said Faisal Yazadi of the Evergreen Islamic Center.

According to the Times, police have no motive for the killings and are asking for the public's assistance. Anyone who may know anything pertaining to the murder should call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 408-947-7867.
