THE man accused of killing his wife while watching YouTube videos as he decapitated her and put her body parts into a blender, has been charged.
The criminal investigation into the horrific death of the former Miss Switzerland finalist Kristina Joksimovic, 38, has concluded with the model’s husband being charged with her murder.
A trial date is yet to be set.
Only named as Thomas in local media due to privacy laws, Kristina’s husband admitted to strangling his wife to death after she was found brutally murdered in February last year.
An autopsy found that Kristina’s husband used a jigsaw, knife, and garden shears to dismember her body, leaving her decapitated.
Her body parts were then “pureed” in a hand blender and were dissolved in a chemical solution, Blick reports.
Her remains were discovered by her horrified father when he saw blonde hair sticking out of a black bag in the laundry room, a friend told the Daily Mail.
The grisly discovery was made by the dad after he had spent hours at the house in Binningen, near Basel, Switzerland, not realising something was wrong.
Investigators discovered that Kristina’s husband Thomas was watching YouTube videos on his phone while he dissected the mum-of-two, according to court documents.
He also refused to give police full access to his encrypted phone which they believe could contain more evidence.
The court was told that Thomas “carefully removed” Kristina’s womb, the only organ removed from her torso.
His “intentional mutilation or ritualised degradation of the body” could indicate a mental disorder, the court said.
Cops arrested him the next day when Kristina’s remains were found and reported to authorities.
He reportedly told investigators that he killed his wife “in a panic” as she approached him with a knife – claiming it was an act of self-defence.
But a medical forensic report “contradicts his description of self-defence”, Swiss outlet FM1 Today reports.
Cops said Thomas showed a “lack of empathy and cold-bloodedness after killing his wife” and had made efforts to cover up her death.
Kristina, who had Serbian roots, was a model turned catwalk coach.
She previously won the Miss Northwest Switzerland competition – and went on to be a finalist in the 2008 national competition.
One of her close pals said her relationship had been “in crisis for months”.
Cops were previously called out over reports of domestic violence.
Just weeks before she was killed, Kristina posted pictures of a “couple’s getaway” on her Instagram account along with her husband and kids.
