A former model who was a finalist in the Miss Switzerland contest was allegedly murdered and “pureed” in a blender by her husband, officials in Switzerland are reported to have said.
Kristina Joksimovic, 38, was found dead in her home in Binningen, near Basel, Switzerland, in February this year.
According to local news outlet BZ Basel, a man named Thomas, 41, had an appeal for release from custody denied by the Federal Court in Lausanne on Wednesday after he reportedly confessed to killing his wife, with whom he had two children.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Because that would sure eliminate the DNA evidence…
A murderer and a moron.
Redundant, 99.99% of murderers are complete morons.
I don’t know about morons, but you have to be pretty ignorant to think you can get away with murdering your spouse these days.
Well clearly this guy was smoothie brained.
…
nice
TBF if it looks like paste as opposed to a murder victim you’re less likely to DNA test it in the first place. It’s moot because it was the spouse in this case, though, and I’m skeptical he got that far with just a hand blender.
Most of murders aren’t calculated acts with an escape plan, a lot of them done in a heat of a situation or under some influence.
This guy probably didn’t thought he’d do that and then panicked, couldn’t manage to find any other way to get rid of the body but using a blender he usually used to smash vegs and stuff.
Other ways of life could’ve probably lead him to another tool or method he is comfortable with in his day-to-day life, but his first thought was a blender.
I assume that that’s what the chemical solution was for.
Maybe, but you can watch pretty much any true crime story about a modern murder and see that, at this point, it’s so hard to hide you or your victim’s DNA that most of the unsolved cases are mostly due to police fuckups. Or deliberately ignoring evidence.
Ehhh idk about that one. In a case like this? Sure. Random crimes are almost never solved tho. If you go two states over in a car, shoot someone in the face, and then go home, then you’re almost never gonna get caught. Especially if it occurred somewhere with a high crime rate or to a member of a marginalized community.
Don’t get any ideas tho!
Very true, especially in countries like the US:

https://thehill.com/homenews/3878472-nearly-half-of-us-murders-going-unsolved-data-show/
For the US, the national average is around 40-50% for unsolved homicides. Some states/cities are even higher. Pretty depressing, really. We live in a heavy Police State society and yet law enforcement fails so badly in their primary purpose.

That’s, that’s a brand new sentence.
That’s an episode of “Will It Blend?” I didn’t think we’d ever get in real life.
It’s one of could have gone my entire life without knowing was a possibility.
You’re terrible, even by my standards, which are impressively low
I like to treat every standard like a limbo bar and see how much lower I can go.
gross.
I have to go through the entire rest of the day having this in the back of my mind the whole time. GFD. 🫣
Fight to urge to blend someone to see if it tastes good
Only yesterday I came across this link thanks to Lemmy - be warned it’s gruesome:
Wow humans are awful
What brand was this blender? I would like to know, not because I have any former models that need blending, but because that thing must’ve been a tank
The Swiss make some great precision machinery, I bet it was a Swiss brand.
I mean they found a body so I assume it wasn’t that great
Asking the real questions here. I’ve got a ninja and I’m pretty sure there’s no way I could puree bones.
BZ Basel also said Thomas was arrested the day after Ms Joksimovic’s body was found, and initially told investigators he had found her dead and dismembered her body in their laundry room in panic.
Let those who have not dismembered a family member in a panic with a jigsaw and garden shears before dissolving their pulped body in a bath of acid throw the first stone.
There’s a documentary on Hulu I highly recommend called The Jinx, about multimillionaire serial killer Robert Durst. One of my favorite lines from him is “I did not kill my best friend, but I did dismember him”.
His family owns like half of NYC. Someone I know used to work directly under them and can confirm the batshit runs down the whole tree.
No spoilers, but the very end of that series is absolutely insane. Up there with “Icarus” or “An Honest Liar” as great documentaries that end up having a completely unpredictable twist that changes the trajectory of the film completely.
When you put it like that… Maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to judge.
If only he got the mental health he needed…
It was self defense, after all, and one can never be too safe.
When Vita-mixes are criminalized, only criminals will have Vita-mixes.
In Florida this man would be a hero.
Woman must have been an antideluvian vampire to require such extreme measures.
Because what sane person, who upon walking into their home and finding a loved one unconscious (or even worse :dead:) doesn’t reach for their blender.
Amiright, guys??
Look I was hungry and the fridge only had two slices of cheese, a quarter of a bottle of expired milk, and some random sauce packets. I worked woth what I had on hand.
This is the most psychopathic thing I have seen in quite some time. wtf
I dunno I thought nothing was gonna beat the Olympian that was hunted down and set on fire by her Ex just earlier this month but yeah this beat it.
Yeah I didn’t need to read this headline as soon as I woke up
Poor girl…
“the ruling from the court held Ms Joksimovic was strangled to death.”
CSI Switzerland must be fucking wizards, man.
He might not have finished blending her corpse. I think they can also determine the cause of death from tissue samples sometimes.
Or they got a confession, I guess.
Did he drink her?
That is the question
This story is wild to read, how do you purée someone and still find a body and determine they were strangled?
The article is unclear about which body parts were dismantled and blended, i assume he just did the arms and legs or something. Which leaves a lot of the body to be found and analyzed.
Basically, if i get this right, he was cutting the body in pieces and blending them one by one, which i assume must be a long process so no wonder he got caught. Honestly if i were to get rid of a body that would also be my plan in its entirety
Not to mention hell for your blender. Bones…aren’t exactly “puréeable.” Any blade would get dull pretty fast when going through human body parts.

Meh. I’m team BlendTec. They’d probably make a commercial for this. “Next on Will It Blend! Fashion models!”
… don’t breathe this!..hmmm Olympic runner juice 🥤. Sorry just had to. I’m a total disgrace, this is serious and sad. Sorry, really. It’s only slightly funny.
I suspect he vastly underestimated the scope of the job.
Shopkeeper: Oh, hello Thomas, back already? How was that blender? Not big enough you say? Well how big do you need? A whole large coconut you say?
I found about 66 liters as the volume of the average person. Assuming a regular 1.5 liter blender, that would mean roughly 44 blending sessions. And that’s not taking into account the problems you’ll have with large bones or bones in general.
Bones, tendons, cartilage those blades would probably be toast after about 30 minutes. The article also mentioned chemical so I’m assuming he tried to do some form of chemical treatment but it wasn’t moving along fast enough.
“We’re here about the homicide. Where’s the body?”
“Nope, ain’t nothing here except 60 litres of strawberry smoothie”.
You’d be surprised the things they can figure out with modern forensics, maybe low oxygen in the remaining tissue, maybe a special enzyme that activates in the lungs when you are carbon dioxide poisoned.
The leaps in detection technology even in the last ten years are astounding.
I mean, considering how some of them can struggle with ice cubes, you’d need one hell of a (consumer grade) blender to effectively get rid of a body
Start with a wood chipper.
Saw that in a movie once.
Yeah but that sprays evidence everywhere, best to find a deep, dark, cold lake somewhere.
If you can get the body out to international waters over a particularly deep section of ocean maybe… not gonna trust a lake to not betray me
Unless it’s the big lake Gitche Gumee in November… then you’re golden
Lake Superior is deep enough. but it’s cold enough the corpse won’t go away anytime soon.
I imagine you can fit a wood chipper into a boat and then take care of all the problems that way.
From the bottom up, I imagine.
And it was a hand blender even. Wow
Wow is right. That man probably voided his warranty if he blended her feet.
What the fuck bros
