The husband of a former Miss Switzerland finalist has been charged with her murder, Swiss authorities announced Wednesday. The 43-year-old, named Thomas under Swiss privacy laws, is accused of strangling his wife, Kristina Joksimovic, 38, before dismembering her and attempting to dispose of her remains inside their home in Binningen in February 2024.
The model’s body was cut apart with a jigsaw knife and garden shears, according to the autopsy report and court documents. Investigators say Thomas also removed her womb, the only organ taken from her torso, before chopping parts of her body with an industrial blender. Officials said some remains were “pureed” and dissolved in a chemical solution.
Police later recovered the blender, as well as skin flaps with muscle tissue attached and bone fragments, The Telegraph reported.
Kristina Joksimovic was crowned Miss Northwest Switzerland and was a finalist for Miss Switzerland in 2007. She later became a catwalk coach and mentored several models, including Dominique Rinderknecht, ahead of her appearance at Miss Universe 2013. (NDTV)
