Brian Walshe sentenced to life in prison for murdering his wife and dismembering her body
Brian Walshe was convicted for first-degree murder after dismembering his wife and disposing of her body, motivated partly by a $2.7 million life insurance policy, prosecutors said.
- On Thursday, Brian Walshe, defendant, age 50, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole by Norfolk County Superior Court, Massachusetts.
- Following her disappearance, Walshe was arrested on Jan. 8 after a well-being check requested by Tishman Speyer on Jan. 4, 2023, prosecutors say.
- Investigators say Walshe methodically dismembered his wife, disposed of parts in dumpsters, conducted more than a dozen Google searches, and left blood and a damaged knife in the basement before buying cleaning supplies the next day.
- The couple’s three young children are in state custody, and Judge Freniere imposed additional prison terms for lying and conveying a body to run consecutively after his federal art-fraud sentence.
- Judge Diane Freniere said Walshe has a `history of deceitful and manipulative behavior`, prosecutors say thousands of investigative hours were wasted, and all first-degree murder convictions face review by the state’s highest court.
