Brian Walshe, accused of murdering his wife, has admitted guilt to two out of three charges relating to her disappearance and death.

During a court session held at the Norfolk Superior Court in Massachusetts, Walshe entered guilty pleas on Monday for the charges of unlawful disposal of a human body and misleading law enforcement, as reported by FOX News Digital.

However, Walshe maintained his innocence regarding the charge of murdering his wife, Ana Walshe, who vanished after a New Year’s Day dinner party on January 1, 2023. Her remains have not been discovered.

Judge Diane Freniere announced that she would allow the victim’s family to deliver impact statements before setting a date for sentencing.

In the meantime, proceedings for the murder trial are scheduled to continue.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, prosecutors alleged that Brian Walshe killed his wife and took measures to conceal her body.

Brian Walshe claimed that Ana had been called back to Washington, D.C., on New Year’s Day 2023, for a work emergency. However, he did not contact her employer until January 4, 2023.

He allegedly claimed she took an Uber or Lyft from home to the airport. Prosecutors said there is no evidence of her leaving home that day.

Prosecutors said Walshe also searched the internet for the best ways to dismember a body, how to clean blood, and whether someone can be charged without a body.

Additional evidence, according to prosecutors, included blood found in the Walshe family’s basement, a bent knife with blood on it, and security footage of Brian Walshe making a trip to a hardware store, where he purchased over $400 in cleaning supplies.
