Prosecution: Walshe searched web for ‘Can you throw away body parts?’

DEDHAM, Mass. (WLNE) — The murder trial of Brian Walshe continues Thursday after several days of testimony in the case.

Walshe is accused of murdering and dismembering his wife Ana in Cohasset in 2023 and disposing of her body in multiple dumpsters throughout the Massachusetts town.

According to ABC News, Walshe claimed that his wife died from “sudden, unexplained death.”

The prosecution countered with a crime lab specialist who testified about the discovery of blood evidence inside the Walshe family car.

Evidence was also recovered from trash sites including a hatchet and a hacksaw, according to authorities.

Davis Gould of the Massachusetts State Police said, “Inside of bag one was a pair of green boots, a black jacket with red-brown stains, and a bracelet inside of the pocket.”

Investigators said that Walshe had conducted internet searches such as “Can you throw away body parts?” and “Is it possible to clean DNA off a knife?”
