What to Know

Brian Walshe is charged with the 2023 murder of his wife, Ana Walshe, and also accused of dismembering and discarding her body.

Walshe was stabbed in jail in September, an event his attorneys say have impacted his mental heath and ability to understand the case.

The defendant has been at Bridgewater State Hospital under evaluation to determine whether he is competent to stand trial.

Brian Walshe is expected in court on Friday for a competency hearing after his murder trial was delayed over questions about his ability to participate in the proceedings.

Walshe is accused of murdering and dismembering his wife, Ana, on New Year's Day 2023. He was arrested later that month, at first charged with misleading investigators, and eventually murder.
