Forbes StaffKristina Joksimovic was strangled to death by her husband with her body “pureed” in a blender.
A brutal murder incident has made it to the top of the headlines in Switzerland, involving the death of a former Miss Switzerland finalist, Kristina Joksimovic. She was cruelly murdered by her husband in Binningen, Switzerland. She was 38 when she was strangled to death when her husband attempted to cover up the crime by “pureeing” her body parts in a blender and dissolving them in acid.
Dismembering the body.
Since the body of his wife Kristina dismembered was discovered in February, her husband, referred to in the media as “Thomas,” has admitted to the murder. As reported by Swiss media outlet FM1 Today, Thomas dismembered his wife’s body using a jigsaw, knife, and garden shears. Then, he used a hand blender to “puree” the remains and dissolve parts in a chemical solution.
Self-defense by the husband.
Thomas claimed that he acted in self-defense, alleging that his wife Kristina attacked him with a knife first. However, the medical reports contradict his statement. The autopsy revealed the brutal manner in which her body was dismembered, raising doubts about his self-defense plea. He was denied release from custody by the Federal Court in Lausanne, citing “concrete indications of mental illness” and his “cold-blooded” behavior after the murder. The investigators revealed that he displayed “sadistic-sociopathic traits” and lacked empathy throughout the ordeal.
Thomas remains in custody.
A third party found Kristina’s body, and her husband was arrested the next day. Thomas remains in custody as the investigation continues. It is said that there was trouble in marriage behind closed doors. After getting married in 2017, the couple appeared to live affluent lives in a spacious home. They would often share photos of travel. Kristina had shared pictures of their recent getaway just four weeks before her murder. However, according to a friend of the couple, the marriage was in crisis for months.
