Husband's Appeal Rejected in Miss Switzerland Murder

Kristina Joksimovic, a 38-year-old former Miss Switzerland finalist, was gruesomely murdered by her husband, Thomas, in February near Basel, Switzerland. She was allegedly strangled, dismembered with tools including a jigsaw and garden shears, and her body parts were 'pureed' in a blender and dissolved in a chemical solution. Despite Thomas's claims of self-defense, forensic reports contradict his account, showing no evidence of her attacking him. Reports indicate that the couple's relationship had been in crisis for months, with prior instances of domestic violence. Thomas, who demonstrated a lack of empathy and cold-bloodedness, has been denied release from custody. The case has shocked many, including friends and colleagues in the Swiss beauty pageant community.
