DEDHAM, MASS. (WHDH) – Brian Walshe was found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of his wife Ana.
The verdict comes after two days of jury deliberations and eight days of testimony. Closing arguments were held Friday for the prosecution and defense. The jury was made up of six men and six women.

During testimony, the jury heard from several witnesses, including William Fastow, the man Ana had an affair with, and Gem Mutlu, the man who spent New Year’s Eve with the Walshes and is one of the last people believed to have seen Ana, 39, alive.
Walshe’s defense team said he found Ana dead in bed, claiming she suffered a sudden, unexplained death and he disposed of her body in fear of being blamed.
The prosecution said Ana was having an affair and their marriage was falling apart, so he killed her. She was killed and dismembered around New Year’s Day in 2023.
The jury has not been told Walshe pleaded guilty to misleading police and improper disposal of a body.
