In a tragic and horrifying crime that has shocked Switzerland, Kristina Joksimovic, a former Miss Switzerland finalist, was brutally murdered by her husband in their home near Basel. The shocking incident, discovered on February 13, involved Kristina being strangled to death before her body was horrifically dismembered using a jigsaw, knife, and garden shears. Subsequent investigations revealed that her husband, referred to only as “Thomas,” had attempted to dispose of her remains using a blender and chemicals.
The appalling details came to light after “Thomas” was arrested and charged with the murder of his wife. Initially claiming self-defense, stating that he acted after Kristina attacked him with a knife, his story was discredited by medical experts. They found no evidence supporting his claims and determined that strangulation was the cause of her death. Autopsy results provided further chilling evidence of the grisly method in which her body was treated post-mortem.
This horrendous act has cast a stark contrast to the life the couple portrayed on social media, where they seemed to be a happy family living in a picturesque home overlooking Basel. They have two daughters, and the revelation of such violence within what appeared to be a loving family has left the community and those who knew Kristina in profound disbelief.
Kristina Joksimovic had not only achieved notable success in beauty pageants but was also a respected entrepreneur. She dedicated part of her career to coaching up-and-coming models for major competitions, including the Miss Universe pageant. The news of her appalling death was met with mourning and shock, highlighting the tremendous impact she had on those around her.
The Swiss courts have since handled the case, with an ongoing investigation suggesting possible mental illness in Thomas, as he remains in custody, his plea for release having been denied.
