New Delhi: A shocking incident has emerged from Switzerland, where former Miss Switzerland finalist Christina Joksimovich was brutally murdered by her husband. Christina, aged 38, was killed in a gruesome manner near Basel in the town of Binningen. Reports reveal that her husband strangled her to death before taking extreme measures to conceal the crime.
To hide his crime, Christina’s husband dismembered her body, using a jigsaw, knife and garden shears. He then used a blender to grind the dismembered remains and attempted to dissolve them in acid. This horrific act was uncovered in February when Christina’s body was found in a severely mutilated state. Authorities quickly determined that Christina had been strangled before being dismembered.
According to FM1 Today, Thomas, the accused, admitted to the murder. He confessed to using various tools to cut up his wife’s body and then attempted to dispose of the remains using a hand blender and acid. The details of these actions have shocked both the public and the investigators.
Thomas has claimed that the murder was committed in self-defense, alleging that Christina attacked him with a knife. However, medical reports have failed to support this claim. The investigation revealed the brutal nature of the dismemberment, which has complicated Thomas’s defense. The court in Lausanne has rejected his appeal for release, citing concerns about his mental health.
Christina and Thomas married in 2017 and lived a seemingly successful life. Christina had posted recent photos on social media just weeks before her death, indicating a normal life. However, a friend revealed that their marriage had been troubled for months. Previous reports of domestic violence had led to police interventions at their home.
