The Shocking Murder of Kristina Joksimovic: A Swiss Model’s Tragic End

Kristina Joksimovic, a former Miss Switzerland finalist, was brutally murdered by her husband, Thomas, in February 2024. The horrific details of her death have shocked the public: after strangling her, Thomas dismembered her body using a jigsaw, knife, and garden shears, and then attempted to conceal the crime by pureeing her remains in a blender and dissolving them in a chemical solution.

Initially, Thomas claimed he acted in self-defense, alleging that Kristina attacked him with a knife. However, forensic evidence contradicted his account, revealing that she had been strangled without any signs of struggle. Investigators noted a history of violence in their relationship, with previous incidents of Thomas physically assaulting Kristina.

The case has raised alarms about domestic violence, particularly the alarming statistic that a woman is killed by a partner or family member every 11 minutes globally. Kristina, a mother of two, was remembered by friends as a kind and compassionate individual, and her tragic death highlights the urgent need for awareness and action against domestic abuse
