A Massachusetts man about to stand trial for murder in the death and dismemberment of his wife pleaded guilty Tuesday to disposing of her body and misleading police.

A Massachusetts man charged with killing his wife has been sentenced to more than three years behind bars in an unrelated art fraud case.

Prosecutors say the husband of a Massachusetts woman who has been missing since New Year’s Day suspected she was having an affair and persuaded his mother to hire a private investigator to prove it.

Prosecutors in Massachusetts are basing their murder case against a man whose wife is presumed dead but whose body has not been found in large part on a series of gruesome internet searches.

A prosecutor says the husband of a Massachusetts woman who's been missing since New Year’s Day went online to look up ways to dismember and dispose of a body, and clothes and other items belonging to the woman were found at a trash processing facility.
