A Miss Switzerland finalist’s husband has been charged with murdering the beauty queen, as he allegedly cut out her womb and puréed her remains in a blender while watching YouTube videos.
Kristina Joksimovic, 38, was found dead at her home in Binningen, near Basel, in February last year, with an autopsy report revealing she was brutally decapitated before her death. The mum-of-two’s husband, identified only as Thomas, was formally charged with her murder this week, nearly two years after he was initially arrested following the grim discovery.
The autopsy alleges that Thomas, 43, removed a single organ from the mother of his children’s body, chopped up and “puréed” her other body parts.

The documents obtained by the Daily Mail state Ms Joksimovic was dismembered using a jigsaw blade and pair of garden shears, and that her womb was “carefully removed”. A Swiss court later heard the move was “deliberate mutilation or ritualised degradation of the body” suggesting Thomas was mentally unwell.
Other parts of his wife’s body were discovered after they had been “puréed”, with Thomas accused of having forced them into a powerful industrial grade blender before dissolving others in chemicals. Investigators said that, as he cut up Ms Joksimovic’s body, Thomas played YouTube videos on his phone.

His wife had been killed by strangulation before being dismembered, according to autopsy findings, with a “reddish throttle mark” having been discovered on her neck. A friend told the Mail her remains were discovered by her dad, who had seen strands of blonde hair protruding from a black bag in the family’s laundry room.
Thomas was arrested the following day, according to local outlet BZ Bazel, with the outlet reporting that he had initially found her dead and dismembered her body in the room. The autopsy discovered that Thomas had meticulously gone about disarticulating his wife’s body, initially popping her hip joints from their sockets.
He removed her upper left arm, forearms and leg, before severing her spine so he could chop off her head and split her torso in half. Investigators assigned to the case found Ms Joksimovic’s body had been reduced to a near-unrecognisable state.

According to reports, found body parts included a “large number” of skin flaps, some of which had “attached muscles”, and a “large number of pieces of muscle”. Horrifyingly, investigators found, some of those horrifically mutilated muscle pieces included “attached pieces of bone”.
Thomas, who had two young girls with Ms Joksimovic, later allegedly admitted to having killed the mum in March, claiming he wanted to protect himself as she had previously attacked him with a knife. He allegedly confessed to the killing after having previously told Swiss authorities he had come home to find his wife dead and mutilated. But medical experts who later identified the mum’s cause of death as strangulation found that there was no evidence of self defence.
