The prosecution rested its case after emotional witness testimony in day eight of the murder trial of Brian Walshe.

The 50-year-old Cohasset man is accused of killing his wife, Ana Walshe. She was last seen alive on New Year’s Eve 2022 and was reported missing several days later. Her body was never found.

Prior to the start of the trial, Brian Walshe pleaded guilty to improper conveyance of a human body and misleading a police investigation. He pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder, with the defense maintaining that Ana died from a sudden medical event.

On Wednesday, Brian’s parole officer and two of Ana Walshe’s friends were among those who took the stand.
