Miss Switzerland Finalist Was Dismembered by Husband And Put in Blender
Court finds Kristina Joksimovic, 38, was strangled to death and there were concrete indications of mental illness underlying the case Telegraph 15 SEP 2024 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/...eg?imwidth=680 A former model and Miss Switzerland finalist who was allegedly murdered by her husband was found to have been strangled, dismembered and her remains put through a handheld blender, medical reports reveal. Kristina Joksimovic, 38, was found dead in her home in Binningen, near Basel, in February. Her husband and father of her two children, named only as Thomas by local media, admitted to killing her in March, according to the Federal Court. However, his claim that he was acting in self-defence was contradicted by the medical forensic report. A court ruling on Wednesday found that Ms Joksimovic had been strangled to death and reported that there were ?concrete indications of mental illness underlying the case. A post-mortem included in the ruling said that her body had been dismembered with a jigsaw knife and garden shears in the laundry room of the couple?s home. Her remains were then liquidised with a handheld blender and dissolved in a chemical solution, the report added. Ms Joksimovics remains were discovered on Feb 13 by a third party. Thomas was detained by authorities the day after but initially told investigators that he had dismembered her in a panic after discovering her dead. He later claimed to have killed her in self-defence after she came at him with a knife. According to investigators, Thomas showed a conspicuously high level of criminal energy in their assessment. They spoke of a lack of empathy and cold-bloodedness after killing his wife and added that Thomas had ?sadistic-sociopathic traits. Ms Joksimovics body was dismembered with a jigsaw knife and garden shears The couple, who married in 2017, were reportedly going through marital difficulties, with police called to their place of residence before the incident over reports of physical violence. Just four weeks before she was killed, Ms Joksimovic shared photos on social media of a couples getaway at a luxurious hotel above Lake Lucerne. The pair had two young daughters. Ms Joksimovic was crowned Miss Northwest Switzerland and went on to be a finalist in the Miss Switzerland competition in 2007. They seemed like the perfect family The couple lived in an affluent area of Basel, Swiss newspaper 20 Minuten reported. One friend told the Swiss German-language daily, Blick: To me, they seemed like the perfect family. But another friend said their relationship had been in crisis for months. After her time competing, Ms Joksimovic launched a career coaching other models and beauty pageant contestants. Fellow contestants shared their condolences when the news of her death first broke. |
