Shows like a wedding and a murder

Ali Mahmood Awad Irsan (Arabic: علي محمود عوض عرسان‎; born December 27, 1957) is a Jordanian-American convicted murderer held on Texas death row. He was sentenced for the murders of Iranian-American activist and Christian-convert Gelareh Bagherzadeh (Persian: گلاره باقرزاده‎), a friend of one of his daughters; and his son-in-law, Coty Beavers, in Greater Houston.

Multiple media reports described the crimes as honor killings.

Ali Irsan was born to a father in the Jordanian Army.

Irsan, using a student visa, came to the United States in 1979, and became a naturalized United States citizen. He lived on a 3-acre (1.2 ha) property in a rural area, in unincorporated eastern Montgomery County, Texas, near Conroe. Craig Malisow of the Houston Press stated that Irsan "considered himself to be a devout Muslim." Irsan studied in a "medical laboratory" program at Kirkwood Community College. He stated in court filings that he studied in a medical program at a tertiary institution in Jordan, and he also stated that he had a Houston Community College "diploma of auto -mechanic".
