    A Massachusetts man accused of killing and dismembering his missing wife, Ana Walshe, 39, allegedly Googled “10 ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to,” according to prosecutors.

    Brian Walshe, 47, of Cohasset, appeared in court Wednesday morning on charges of murder and improper transport of a body. Not guilty pleas to the charges were entered on his behalf. Walshe was already in custody after pleading not guilty to a charge of misleading investigators.

    Brian Walshe stands during his arraignment in Quincy District Court, in Quincy, Mass., Monday, Jan. 9, 2023, to face charges in connection with misleading investigators. Walshe has been charged with the murder of his wife, missing Cohasset woman Ana Walshe.

    Prosecutors believe Walshe made a series of Google searches including: “how long before a body starts to smell”; “how to stop a body from decomposing”; “how to embalm a body”; and “what’s the best state to divorce.”

    Walshe also allegedly Googled “dismemberment” and “what happens when you put body parts in ammonia,” prosecutor Lynn Beland said. There were more Google searches for “hacksaw best tool to dismember” and “can you be charged with murder without a body,” according to Beland.

    Blood, a bloody knife and another knife were found in the basement of the Walshes’ Cohasset home, Beland said.

    Prosecutors said police also recovered 10 trash bags containing blood-stained items including: a hacksaw, towels, rags, cleaning agents, carpets, slippers, Prada purse and Ana Walshe’s COVID-19 vaccine card.

    Ana Walshe was reported missing by co-workers in Washington on Jan. 4. At that time, Brian Walshe claimed he last saw his wife early on Jan. 1, as she prepared to take a ride share to Boston Logan International Airport for a “work emergency,” but investigators said she never caught a ride and never boarded a plane.

    Investigators said they tracked Ana’s phone on Jan. 2, and it pinged in or near her Cohasset home.

    Brian Walshe was charged with misleading the investigation on Jan. 8. At that time, investigators revealed they found blood and a broken knife in the family’s basement and had surveillance video of Brian Walshe, wearing a medical mask and surgical gloves, purchasing $450 in cleaning supplies with cash at a Home Depot in nearby Rockland.

    Walshe was wearing a monitoring bracelet as he awaited sentencing for selling fake Andy Warhol paintings to an art buyer in California. He was under house arrest but was allowed to leave home for things like doctors’ appointments and grocery shopping. The bracelet did not have GPS tracking.

    Police conducted a sweeping search at a Peabody landfill. The landfill was the destination for a dumpster that was outside Brian Walshe’s mother’s apartment building in Swampscott. He had visited his mom in the days following his wife’s disappearance, claiming he went shopping for her. Police found no receipts from the stores he mentioned.

    Investigators have not recovered a body.

    Brian and Ana Walshe have three children. Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey said Ana Walshe’s disappearance was the second case of domestic violence his office had seen in recent weeks.

    “Our thoughts are very much with the families these crimes have left behind,” Morrissey said.

    Brian Walshe is being held without bail and is set to return to court on Feb. 9.

    Kupwara, Jan 18 (GNS): Braving extreme chill amid prevailing inclement weather, people in Safawali village of Jumagund in Kupwara on early Wednesday morning had no other option than to put a male patient on a stretcher to ferry it a hospital at Zurhama as the road connecting the areas, as per locals, continues to remain shut due to accumulated snow.

    A group of locals told GNS that a 42-year-old person, Irshad Ahmad Raina son of Farooq Ahmad Raina, developed abdominal pain the previous night. “The patient was given medication, but he didn’t show any signs of relief, following which it was decided to evacuate him to a hospital at Zurhama, which is some 25 kilometres from here”, they said. “As the road is yet to be cleared of the accumulated snow, the patient had to be put on a stretcher”, they claimed.

    Deputy Sarpanch Jumagund, seconding the claims of locals, told GNS that “even as the persons ferrying him (patient) started their journey at around 5 in the morning, they were however yet to reach their destination.”

    “We not only fear for the safety of the patient but for those ferrying him alike as the weather is very cold”, he said.

    The deputy village-head in the meantime alleged that the interior roads are also yet to be cleared of the accumulated snow.

    “We urge the authorities to clear the roads as soon as possible to alleviate our sufferings”, he said.

    When contacted, Deputy Commissioner Kupwara Doifode Sagar Dattaray told GNS that there have been frequent avalanche warnings amid prevailing weather conditions. “With the (avalanche) warnings being high, we don’t want to act in haste as it may put the precious lives on stake”, he said. (GNS)

    Governors to voters: The state of our nation is bleak, except under me – The News Caravan

    “>Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, cast his state as the place “where woke goes to die,” to which Murphy, in his State of the State address, responded, “I’m not even sure I know what that means.”

    It’s not just the nation’s highest-profile chief executives getting in on the crowing, either. It may be news to most, but Jim Justice, the Republican governor of West Virginia, is aware of “jealousy” about his state, “because now, all of a sudden, we’re the diamond in the rough that they missed.”

    “We’re in a never-before-seen era of contrast between red and blue states,” said Rob Stutzman, a Republican strategist. “What state you live in has become a subtext for what your politics must be, and I don’t think that was ever really true until the last six years or so.”

    Covid, he said, “has thrown an accelerant on the way governors have presented their states. It became more a point of contrast – open or closed, mandate or no mandate, pro-vaccine or vaccine skeptic. There were very few governors who played it down the middle.”

    The governors’ addresses have not been without some introspection about what could improve within their geographic boundaries. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb, a Republican, pointed last week to the relatively high rates of smoking and obesity in his state, where “our life expectancy in Indiana has declined in recent years.” In Arizona, Katie Hobbs, the newly-elected Democratic governor, warned of “potential catastrophe that will happen in just a few months” if lawmakers do not address an education funding cap, while noting the state is facing a “drought unlike anything in modern times.”

    In New York, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, after a closer-than-expected election, warned that inflation was harming Empire Staters. “And on top of that,” she added, “how do you pay the monthly rent, or the mortgage? It’s just so overwhelming for our families.”

  • Kashmir’s last generation of chain-stitch artisans sees no future for the craft

    Srinagar, Jan 17: Traditional chain-stitch craft is witnessing slow death with craft restricted to old generation of artisans.Mohammad Irfan Wani, a chain stitch artist from Malchemar Aali Kadal told news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), that his family has been associated with ‘Jalakdozi’ craft for the last 200 years. But he is worried the craft which his forefathers introduced in his family will have no takers now.

    I will be the last person in my family to be associated with the art as none is ready to learn. Also, there is a low demand for chain stitch items. An artisan earns a mere Rs 100-150 per day and they can’t sustain their families,” he said.He blamed the government for its failure in reviving the art.“Our items are reaching every country and demand can increase too. But middlemen are looting both artists and customers and despite repeated requests to the government, no step has been taken to stop this practice,” he said.Gulzar Ahmad (61), another artist from Aali Kadal in Srinagar complained that there is little demand for the chain stitch products.People who have been associated with the art are finding it hard to meet their two ends and most of them have left the trade, he said.Chain stitch is a sewing and embroidery technique in which a series of looped stitches form a chain-like pattern. Chain stitch has been inspired by the enchanting natural beauty of Kashmir, hence motifs like Booen (chinar), Badam (paisley), Yemburzal (narcissus), Daenposh (pomegranate) and Pamposh (lotus) are the most popular and repeatedly employed motifs—(KNO)
