The Washington Post is not naming the younger brother because he is a minor.

“No additional details will be provided about the investigation,” the press release states.

They are being held without bail. Hasib, who is being held at the San Jose County Jail, is expected to appear in court on Friday and no court date has been set for his younger brother, according to the Associated Press.

Golam, 59, and Shamima, 57, were found dead in their home Sunday by friends who had come by to check on the couple. Next to their bodies was an ominous note that read, “Sorry, my first kill was clumsy.” According to reports by CBS, messages were written all over the house’s drywall and included the phrase, “Take care of your brother, or he’s next.” The Mercury News reported it also included a message reading, “I can’t be like you telling a lie … I can’t love someone without telling them.”

Hasib granted a brief interview to the San Francisco Chronicle, in which he expressed a desire to tell the whole story.

“I want everyone to know what happened,” Hasib said while handcuffed in an interview room in the Santa Clara County Jail, “but I can’t say anything without a lawyer.”

“The best thing if anyone wants to know what happened is to wait for the trial,” he added.

The only thing Hasib would comment upon was the alleged innocence of his younger brother. When asked if the teenager was involved, Hasib said, “No, and that’s all I can say. He’s innocent.”

The younger brother, who attended classes at Evergreen Valley High School on Monday, was described by his 16-year-old classmate as being quiet and keeping mostly to himself, according to the Associated Press.

Hasib’s friend Matthew Kuch, on the other hand, claims to have firsthand knowledge of the murders, according to an interview with CBS. Kuch allegedly housed Hasib in his bedroom closet in Tracy following the murders out of fear for his and his family’s safety and eventually turned the brothers in to the police.

“He told me that he couldn’t shoot his father in the head, because that’s a dishonor, because he wanted his father to be buried with his face,” Kuch said.

He added that Hasib had a plan to create a video and throw the police off his trail.

He also claims Hasib offered a motive.

“He told me that somebody has come in and tortured him for several months, and it would not stop unless he killed his parents,” Kuch told CBS.

The final message Hasib posted on his Facebook page before being arrested read, “F— yeah to the kids who feel like they’re dying inside but still gather up the strength to roll out of bed, get dressed and leave the house. You are strong and beautiful and worth so much more than you know,” The Mercury News reported.

Golam Mustakim, the couple’s 37-year-old nephew, told the San Francisco Chronicle he never noticed any bad blood between the parents and their sons.

“Any tension was completely out of my knowledge,” he said. “They were quiet, nice children. They always got along with their parents.”

“Emotionally, I’m broken right now,” he told the Mercury News.

Community members are praying the brothers are innocent.

“Everybody is praying that it’s somebody else who did this and not the kids,” Abdul Jaka, a co-founder of Evergreen Islamic Center co-founder, told the Associated Press. “They were a nice family.”

“This is one of those tragedies nobody ever wants to be in,” mosque spokesman Faisal Yazadi added. “All we can do is pray.”
