Kristina Joksimovic, a former model and finalist in the Miss Switzerland contest, was tragically found dead in her home in Binningen, near Basel, Switzerland, in February of this year. The details of her death, recently revealed, have sent shockwaves through the country. Local media reports indicate that her husband, identified as Thomas, has admitted to her brutal murder, leading to a ruling by the Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne that denied his appeal for release from custody.

 

 

The horrific crime came to light when authorities discovered Joksimovic's remains in the couple's home. According to local news outlet BZ Basel, Thomas, 41, reportedly confessed to the murder during a crime reconstruction in March. He claimed that the killing was in self-defense after Joksimovic allegedly attacked him with a knife. However, the court ruling paints a different picture of the events leading to her death.

 

The court determined that Kristina Joksimovic was strangled to death before her body was dismembered in the couple's laundry room. The grisly details, as reported by BZ Basel, reveal that Thomas used a jigsaw, knife, and garden shears to carry out the dismemberment. In a disturbing twist, it was further revealed that body parts were then chopped up with a hand blender, "pureed," and dissolved in a chemical solution.

 

Thomas was arrested the day after Joksimovic's body was discovered. Initially, he told investigators that he had found her dead and, in a panic, dismembered her body in the laundry room. However, his confession during the crime reconstruction, coupled with the forensic evidence, led to his continued detention.

 

Joksimovic, 38, was a well-known figure in the modeling world. She had been crowned Miss Northwest Switzerland and was a finalist in the Miss Switzerland pageant in 2007. Following her success in pageantry, she transitioned into running her own business as a catwalk coach. Among her many accomplishments, she mentored Dominique Rinderknecht for the Miss Universe pageant in 2013.

 

The tragic and violent end to Joksimovic's life has left her family, friends, and the wider community in mourning. The court’s decision to keep Thomas in custody reflects the gravity of the crime, as authorities continue to piece together the full details of this harrowing case. As the investigation progresses, the focus remains on achieving justice for Kristina Joksimovic, a life cut tragically short in a crime that has shocked the nation.

Pureed. You mean like a mango smoothie?!? Gross!

One very sick and demented man. He needs to be removed from this world.

Initially he found her body and decided to cut her up into pieces!!

Perhaps not the best excuse I!!

That was the usual media exaggeration. The illiterates that write these articles nowadays, will never be in line for the Nobel Prize in Literature.  Most can't spell, or punctuate. 

There are two types of people in this world.

Those who can run another human being through a blender,

and those who cannot.

yeah, pureed.

sorry, I don't believe it.

nice try, ChatGPT. but you don't fool me.
