DEDHAM, MASS. (WHDH) – A new judge has been appointed in the case of a Cohasset man accused of killing and dismembering his wife.

Prosecutors say Brian Walshe killed his wife Ana Walshe in 2023.

Judge Beverly Cannone was removed from the Walshe case and given special assignment to oversee the second Karen Read trial.

A motion hearing for Walshe will be held early next month, overseen by the new judge, Diane Freniere.
