"What are those rumours?" Rotemdol asks.

"There's more than one rumour", Banjo replies, "Or rather, all of them
say someone murdered their parents, but they have different versions
of who that someone might be".

"Like who?", asks Rotemdol

"Well", Banjo says, "One rumour is that they were spies for Karmork,
and agents of our city killed them.  Or that the Karmork people killed
them to stop them talking".

"Other rumour is that the Karazthan did them in, because they were
making Karazthan things without their permission.  Machine people
don't like that; they were in the construction guild, and the Karaz
killed them to give the construction guild a warning.  Their Men In
Black do things like that".
