That FB page is a little...unusual.

I find it hard to believe that a man who admittedly killed one man then is questioned in two other murders, didn't have SOME hand in the latter two deaths.
Of course, that's just me.

Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, 56, has been charged in the January 15, 2012 death of Gelareh Bagherzadeh, 30.
Bagherzadeh was reportedly an activist against the Iranian government, and a particular supporter of women's rights. The station reports that she had argued about the subject with Irsan.
Irsan's neighbor, William Orr, told KHOU that the FBI had searched Irsan's property soon after the murder because Orr had told them he saw the family bury something in the backyard at three in the morning.
Irsan was reportedly booked into jail and no bail amount has been set.
Investigators did not reveal a motive for the killing, but those close to Bagherzadeh told the Houston Chronicle that Irsan, a devout Muslim, suspected the Christian convert had influenced his daughter, Nesreen, to drift apart from her family.
Irsan was allegedly angry that his Jordanian-American daughter married 28-year-old Coty Beavers without his approval.
And 11 months after Bagherzadeh a molecular genetic technology student at the University of Texas was killed, Coty Beavers was shot and killed inside the Harris County apartment that he shared with his wife.
No arrests had been made in that killing, but relatives say they suspect the two deaths were connected.
The father dodged criminal charges for shooting 29-year-old Amjad Alidam the husband of Irsans daughter Nasemah in September 1999, after Irsan argued he fired in self-defense.
The brazen killing of an outspoken young Iranian activist as she pulled into her parents' Galleria-area townhome complex languished for two years even as Crime Stoppers offered $200,000, its largest reward in history, for information leading to an arrest...
Now, in the latest twist in a bizarre case... the district attorney's office said it has dismissed the murder charges against Irsan but would seek more charges soon. Meanwhile the 57-year-old remains in solitary confinement on the fraud charges for which, in any normal case, he'd long ago have walked out on bond...
In February, Irsan's 21-year-old son, Nasim, was arrested after allegedly dragging a donkey behind a pickup along a stretch of Old Houston Road in Montgomery County. He was charged with cruelty to livestock animals and remains in jail in lieu of $60,000 bail.
Other fresh developments include charges for Irsan’s son and Irsan’s daughter.
Nasim Irsan, 21, is charged with murder.
Nadia Irsan, 30 is charged with stalking.
Ali Irsan, a Jordanian national who was living in Montgomery County, is accused of playing a role in the 2012 murder of graduate student Bagherzadeh. Detectives said Irsan, a conservative Muslim, was angry that Bagherzadeh turned his daughter, Nesreen, from Islam to Christianity.
The DA's Office is scheduled to hold a press conference to share the new information.
Police are reporting that her ex-boyfriend is an ear-witness, has cooperated fully, and is not a suspect. I know that doesn't mean he can't possibly be involved, but this one is looking like it may have been an assassination due to her activism for Iranian women's rights. MOO
An assassination because she was an activist for Iranian women's rights? Seriously?
I do not think so. Iranian women have a strong voice in Iran, they vote, they drive, they are very well educated, they hold political positions and wield political power; this was NOT some weird assassination by the "Regime" to target an Iranian ex-patriot in living in Texas.
Sheesh if they wanted to target upstart hard headed females they would start in Iran, not Texas!
It was one female's rights who was already in US that allegedly got this student killed.
"Investigators say Mr Irsan was enraged that Ms Begherzadeh, a Christian convert, had helped his daughter abandon his stern Islamic teachings and marry Mr Beavers, also a Christian."
