Former Marblehead resident Brian Walshe pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Ana, as his trial started Monday in Norfolk Superior Court. The couple lived on Edgewood Road in Marblehead with their young sons from 2020-2022. They lived in Cohasset at the time of Ana’s death on New Year’s Day 2023.
Walshe has pleaded guilty to dismembering his wife’s body and misleading police. Ana Walshe’s body has never been found. The case made headlines around the country.
Brian Walsh told investigators last month that he found his wife unresponsive in bed on New Year’s and then hid her remains.
