Switzerland was left in shock after the horrific murder of former Miss Switzerland finalist Kristina Joksimovic. The 38-year-old former model was found dead on February 13 at her home in Binningen, near Basel. Authorities have revealed that her husband, Thomas, allegedly murdered her in a gruesome act of dismembering and dismembering her body parts.
Swiss police have revealed that Ms Joksimovic was strangled before her death. Her 41-year-old husband, identified only as “Thomas” in local reports, was arrested shortly after the crime and later confessed. He claimed he was acting in self-defense and claimed his wife attacked him with a knife. However, investigators have found forensic evidence that contradicts this claim.
After strangling Ms Joksimovic, Thomas allegedly dismembered her body in their laundry room using a jigsaw, knife and pruning shears. Local media also reported that some of the remains were processed with a stick blender and dissolved in chemicals. Despite Thomas’ claim of self-defense, forensic experts pointed to signs of pre-medication and mental illness.
Reports suggest that Thomas had “sadistic tendencies” and displayed a high level of criminal intent. Investigators described his actions as “cold-blooded” and lacking any empathy. Adding to the tragedy, it turned out that Thomas had strangled his wife before. Prosecutors also revealed testimony from a former partner who claimed Thomas was violent toward her and at one point slammed Joksimovic’s head against a wall. The federal court in Lausanne recently rejected Thomas’ request for release and he remains in custody as the investigation continues.
