Former Miss Switzerland Murdered by Husband

Kristina Joksimovic, a former Miss Switzerland finalist, was allegedly murdered by her husband, Thomas, who is accused of dismembering her body and attempting to dispose of her remains in a blender. The 38-year-old model's body was found in their Binningen home in February, and an autopsy revealed she was strangled before being mutilated with various tools, including garden shears and a jigsaw. Thomas, 41, confessed to the murder but claimed it was in self-defense, alleging that Kristina attacked him with a knife; however, this assertion was contradicted by the autopsy findings. Friends of Kristina reported that their relationship had been troubled and that she had been planning to leave him. The case has ignited discussions on domestic violence and mental health issues in Switzerland, and Thomas's request for release from custody was denied due to the gruesome nature of the crime. The modeling community mourns Kristina's loss, remembering her as a kind-hearted individual who transitioned from modeling to coaching aspiring models.
