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 murdered his wife Ana Walshe in 2023.

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

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