Swiss authorities have alleged that Kristina Joksimovic, a 38-year-old former beauty pageant contestant, was brutally murdered by her husband in February.
According to the Basel-Landschaft police, Joksimovic was strangled before her remains were placed in a blender and pureed.
The gruesome crime occurred in Binningen, near Basel. Initially, authorities did not release the victim’s name, but she was later identified by The Telegraph and BBC, citing medical reports and Swiss outlet 20min, which described her as a 2007 Miss Switzerland finalist.
Joksimovic had participated in the 2007 Miss Switzerland pageant, according to a 2007 article by 20min.
According to reports, Kristina Joksimovic’s husband, referred to only as Thomas, initially told police that he found her lifeless body by the stairs and panicked.
However, during a detention hearing and a Federal Court ruling, he allegedly confessed to dismembering her.
Later, in March, Thomas reportedly admitted to authorities that he had indeed killed Joksimovic, as stated in a Federal Court ruling cited by local outlets.
An autopsy report revealed gruesome details of the crime, indicating that Thomas allegedly used a jigsaw and garden shears to dismember Joksimovic, then chopped up her remains and dissolved them in a blender, as reported by 20min, local radio FM1 Today, and bzbasel.
The autopsy report revealed that Thomas not only dismembered Kristina Joksimovic’s body but also “pureed” her remains in a blender.
Additionally, the report found that her remains were dissolved in a chemical, contradicting Thomas’ claim of self-defense.
Joksimovic and her husband had two children together, who were taken into care immediately following the incident, according to the Basel-Landschaft police.
Despite the damning evidence, the public prosecutor’s office has yet to file formal charges against Thomas, who remains in custody, as reported by 20min.
The investigation is ongoing, and the husband’s account of events has been disputed by the autopsy report’s findings.
According to a 2007 profile by 20min, Kristina Joksimovic was a down-to-earth individual who enjoyed playing foot volleyball, watching documentaries, and reading.
Her interests and personality were showcased in the mini profile, where she also revealed that one of her favorite movies was the 2001 film “Blow,” starring Johnny Depp.
