Brian allegedly beat Ana to death after he found her affair
According to authorities, several pieces of evidence that bring a connection between Brian and the murder were found, including Ana's clothing and also his bizarre internet searches on his son's iPad about how to dispose of a body and how to dismember a body. According to prosecutors, after finding out about Ana's affair, Brian beat her to death and dismembered her body in the family basement. On Thursday, April 27, the accused murderer was arraigned in Norfolk Superior Court.
Ana thought Brian was going to prison
Talking to a friend, Ana told that she believed her husband was going to be imprisoned as she was concerned he would be incarcerated on art fraud charges. Days before her alleged murder, she feared his imprisonment and had plans to leave Brian and move to Washington, DC. According to the court documents, the slain woman got "uncharacteristically emotional and extremely upset" when she made the confession to her friend.
On Thursday, April 27, the defendant's attorney admitted that the accused killer's mother who suspected infidelity previously hired a private detective to keep a watch over Ana during her trip to Washington. However, the attorney allegedly stated that until Ana disappeared, her husband had no reason to suspect her. Prosecutors then counterargued saying that Brian eyed a Washington, DC, man whom he believed was Ana's love interest and he obsessively checked the man's Instagram account.
According to prosecutors, Ana's death would result in a lot of gain for Brian which includes life insurance payouts of nearly $2.7 million. However, the defense argued that Brian's family was already loaded and he did not keep the money as his motive behind and also added that the mother of three vanished of her own accord. Walshe who is scheduled to appear in court in August has pleaded not guilty to obstruction of justice, misleading police, improper conveyance of a human, and murder.
