Event Summary

Thomas, the husband of former Miss Switzerland finalist Kristina Joksimović, has been formally charged with her murder. Prosecutors allege that in February 2024, Thomas strangled Kristina Joksimović at their Binningen home, then dismembered her body using a jigsaw knife and garden shears. He reportedly removed her womb, severed limbs, snapped hip joints, and decapitated her. Parts of her body were then 'pureed' in an industrial blender and dissolved in a chemical solution, with Thomas allegedly watching YouTube videos during the act. Kristina Joksimović's father discovered her remains, leading to Thomas's arrest. Forensic experts concluded she died from strangulation, contradicting Thomas's claim of self-defense. The Italy — Paola Public Prosecutor s Office has charged Thomas with murder and disturbing the peace of the dead, noting his 'remarkably high level of criminal energy, lack of empathy, and cold bloodedness'. A trial date has not yet been set.
