Attorneys for Brian Walshe, the Massachusetts husband charged with murdering his wife Ana on New Year's Day, claimed in court today that she was having an affair before she vanished, and that she may have wanted to 'disappear'.
Walshe appeared in court this morning in Boston,
Massachusetts, on first degree murder charges. He was seen arriving clean-shaven, with a new haircut and in a smart shirt and sweater - a stark contrast from his scruffy appearance during past hearings.

Today, prosecutors alleged his motive - he suspected his wife, who'd launched a successful real estate career in a different state, was cheating on him.
When she vanished, Brian stood to gain $2.7million in life insurance payouts and was fearful that his wife was going to leave him.
They say he had hired an investigator to follow Ana in the months before her death, though it's unclear what that investigator discovered.

Walshe denied those allegations through his attorney Tracy Miner.
She admitted his mother had hired a private investigator, but claimed she did so independently.

Prosecutors say he had been obsessively looking at the Instagram page of a 'male friend'.
Ana was particularly close with Abdulla Almutairi - a married colleague who frequently refers to her as his best friend.
