'It torments and haunts me': Horrific details emerge in Ana Walshe's alleged murder by husband Brian
Ana Walshe allegedly spent holiday in Dublin with mystery lover
Before the note was discovered, court documents disclosed that Walshe spent her Thanksgiving holiday in Dublin with a mystery lover a month before she was allegedly murdered on New Year's Eve by her husband Brian Walshe. The 39-year-old woman who worked as a real estate executive was reported missing on January 1 and was later presumed dead. However, her body has not been discovered.
The 47-year-old alleged killer who was arraigned on Thursday, April 27, in Norfolk Superior Court faces first-degree murder charges after investigators found several pieces of evidence connecting him to the murder, including the woman's clothing and also his bizarre internet searches on his son's iPad about how to dispose of a body and ways to dismember a body. After he discovered her affair, Brian allegedly beat the mother-of-three to death and dismembered her body in the basement.
During the arraignment, the defendant's attorney admitted that his client's mother who suspected Ana of infidelity hired a private detective to keep a watch over her during her trip to DC. Brian thought of a DC man as his wife's mysterious lover and obsessively checked his Instagram account, said the prosecutors.
Brian would gain millions in insurance payout if Ana died
The prosecutors also added that if Ana died, Brian could gain a lot including the insurance payouts of nearly $2.7 million. However, the suspect's attorneys argued that their client and his family are already loaded.
Brian has not pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including misleading police, improper conveyance of a human body, and first-degree murder. He is set to appear back in court in August 2023.
