"Brian Walshe was stabbed in jail Thursday while awaiting trial on allegations that he killed and dismembered his wife in 2023, according to multiple media reports. Walshe was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston following Thursday night's stabbing, his attorney told WCVB. He has since been discharged and returned to Norfolk County Jail. Details about Walshe's condition or the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident were not immediately available. Walshe's defense attorneys were not reachable for comment Friday morning."
"Walshe, 50, is scheduled to go to trial next month for allegedly murdering his wife Ana, who was last seen alive early on New Year's Day in 2023. Prosecutors allege he made a series of disturbing Google searches about dead bodies and purchased a hacksaw and various cleaning products soon after his wife disappeared. Ana Walshe's body has never been found."
"Authorities have suggested Ana Walshe's affair and multimillion-dollar life insurance constituted a possible motive for her murder, as did the couple's purported marital struggles as Brian Walshe awaited sentencing on federal art fraud charges. However, as Brian Walshe's trial draws nearer, his lawyers have continued to question the integrity of the investigation and the substance of the evidence presented to grand jurors who indicted Walshe in 2023."
