Brian Walshe sentenced to life in prison for murdering his wife and dismembering her body
Brian Walshe received life without parole plus consecutive maximum sentences after a jury convicted him of first-degree murder for killing and dismembering his wife, Ana Walshe.
- Thursday morning, the Norfolk County court imposed sentences, including life without parole for Brian Walshe for his wife's murder, plus additional terms for lying and body disposal.
- Prosecutors argued jealousy over Ana Walshe's affair and her plan to move with the couple's three children, combined with Brian Walshe's financial and legal troubles, motivated the killing.
- Device and search records showed Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab investigators found internet searches on January 1, 2023 about disposing of a body, a $462 Lowe's receipt for tools, and DNA-linked items from dumpsters in Abington, Brockton and Swampscott.
- Under state law an automatic appeal follows the first-degree murder conviction, the couple's three young children are in state custody, and Ana Walshe's remains have never been recovered.
- A prosecutor told the court there are limited chances for victims to speak, while Aleksandra Dimitrijevic said, `Losing my sister, Ana, so unexpectedly has altered our world in ways we never imagined`.
