January 18th, 2023 Brian Walshe Charged with Murder....His search history read aloud at the indictment.
Brian Walshe was arraigned in Quincy District Court on charges of murder and disinterring of a body without authority.
Prosecutor Lynn Beland accused him of dismembering his wife and disposing of her remains in dumpsters. She also laid out some of the evidence that led to the charges, including the discovery of Ana Walshe’s belongings and blood in the garbage and Brian Walshe’s Google searches.
A not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf. His attorney Tracy Miner issued a statement suggesting the evidence against him was not strong.
“In my experience, where, as here, the prosecution leaks so-called evidence to the press before they provide it to me, their case isn’t that strong,” she said. “When they have a strong case, they give me everything as soon as possible. We shall see what they have and what evidence is admissible in court, where the case will ultimately be decided.”
