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.

Because that would sure eliminate the DNA evidence...

A murderer and a moron.

    Redundant, 99.99% of murderers are complete morons.

    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.

    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.

    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. (Unless he moved to a real one afterwards?)
