Breaking News: Miss Switzerland finalist was strangled, then ‘pureed’ in a blender by her husband….see more
A former Miss Switzerland finalist was strangled and savagely dismembered by her husband, who then “pureed” her remains in a blender, Swiss officials revealed.
Kristina Joksimovic, 38, was found slain in her home in February in Binningen, near the city of Basel in Switzerland.
Her 41-year-old husband, who was only referred to as “Thomas” in local media reports, was taken into custody but had appealed for his release, which was rejected on Wednesday by the country’s federal court in Lausanne after he confessed to the killing.
The model’s husband and father of their two daughters admitted that he killed her in March, but said it was to protect himself after she had previously attacked him with a knife.
However, medical experts found no evidence of self-defense and identified her cause of death as strangulation.
