(Houston Chronicle) Special prosecutors on Wednesday lodged a new charge against a family member awaiting trial in the 2012 “honor killings” of an estranged sister’s husband and best friend.
Nadia Irsan, 35, conferred with her attorneys while holding a handbag, visibly upset at the latest development in the years-long saga.
After being charged in 2015 with stalking in relation to the deaths, she is now accused of a more serious offense — conspiring with her father, stepmother and brother in the family-run criminal plot that ended with the two fatal shootings.
She is one of two people with open cases tied to the murders, which occurred after sister Nesreen Irsan left the family’s rural Montgomery County compound and converted from Islam to Christianity.
