A Massachusetts man remains on trial for murder in the death and dismemberment of his wife after pleading guilty just as jury selection began Tuesday to disposing of her body and misleading police.

Brian Walshe did not plead guilty to killing his wife, Ana Walshe, an immigrant from Serbia who worked in D.C. and was last seen early on Jan. 1, 2023, following a New Year’s Eve dinner at her Massachusetts home. Her body has never been found. Walshe's first-degree murder trial is still scheduled to move forward, with jury selection continuing on Wednesday.
