A jury in Dedham, Massachusetts, convicted Brian Walshe of first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Ana Walshe, in January 2023. The panel deliberated for around six hours before returning its decision.

Walshe is expected to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole – the mandatory punishment for first-degree murder in Massachusetts.

Before the trial, Walshe pleaded guilty to misleading police and illegally disposing of his wife’s body, so he’s expected to face additional prison time for those convictions. Because he’s been convicted of murder, Walshe now faces up to 20 years for misleading police – an enhancement triggered by the murder conviction. Walshe can be sentenced to another three years for pleading guilty to the illegal conveyance of a body.
