Today's Top Headlines

Wednesday, December 10

Good morning Wypierdalaj,

We’re expected to hear from a key witness in the Brian Walshe murder trial today, and it appears the prosecution could be close to resting its case.

Gem Mutlu is expected to take the stand Wednesday. Mutlu, Ana Walshe’s former boss, was at a New Year’s Eve dinner with Brian and Ana, meaning he is essentially one of hte last people to see here alive.

And the judge indicated Tuesday that Mutlu could be one of the prosecution’s final witnesses, as they are close to wrapping up their case.

Today is the warmest day of the week, and the warmest so far this month. We’ll reach into the mid and upper 40s with lots of clouds and a steady south/southwest breeze. The rain showers will wait until the mid/late afternoon to swing through, and the cold will be slow to return tonight.

That said, we could see some wet snow mix in late tonight across northern Worcester County as temps drop back to the low 30s.

It’s a mild(ish) start to the day tomorrow, but with colder air moving in on a gusty wind, we’re likely to see the temperatures slowly drop despite the sunshine. Gusts will be near 40mph as our storm system deepens to in the Maritime Provinces. The cold will settle in for the coming days as the weather remains quiet into the first part of the weekend.

A Massachusetts man is going viral for his reimagining of the classic Christmas movie “Elf.”

Picture it. Instead of Manhattan, Buddy the Elf ends up 200-plus miles away here in good old Boston.

The Zakim instead of the Lincoln Tunnel. The Common instead of Central Park. And of course, Dunks, Kowloon and other iconic local spots.

Could Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum return sooner than expected from his devastating Achilles injury?

On Tuesday, Tatum posted videos to his Instagram story of himself looking spry on the court. His Achilles didn’t seem to bother him while he played 1-on-1 at the Auerbach Center.

A longtime employee at Saks Fifth Avenue in Boston’s Back Bay is facing charges accusing him of embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from the company.

Suhail Kwatra worked nearly two decades as a personal shopper, dressing Boston socialites, until an internal investigation revealed he was allegedly processing fraudulent returns.

Asset protection officials from the company told police they only caught a few of those fraudulent transactions. They said Kwatra wrote a letter admitting to taking hundreds of thousands dollars, promising to pay it all back.

A woman with family ties to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is returning home to Massachusetts after nearly a month in custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Bruna Ferreira, the mother of Leavitt’s nephew, has been released from ICE custody after an immigration judge approved her for bond.

Ferreira was arrested by ICE agents outside her home in Revere on Nov. 12. Initially taken to Vermont, she was then transferred to a Louisiana detention center.
