This is the deeply sorrowful last family picture posted by the former Miss Switzerland contestant, who was reportedly murdered and dismembered by her spouse.

Kristina Joksimovic, who was 38 years old, was found in her elegant home in Binningen, close to Basel, a day after she passed away in February.

Later, her husband admitted to murdering his wife, saying it was done in 'self-defense.' He also claimed that he cut up her body in the laundry room after acting out of fear.

A chilling autopsy report revealed that multiple body parts had been mutilated with a hand blender, blended into a paste, and then dissolved in a chemical solution.

Devastated friends shared their sorrow after the mother of two was discovered. One friend told the local news outlet Blick, "To me, they appeared to be the ideal family."

A few months prior to her untimely passing, Ms. Joksimovic posted a picture of her small family, with the caption 'my everything'.

The most recent family photo posted on Instagram was from August 2023.

Kristina Joksimovic was found in her 'luxurious' home in Binningen in February.

Kristina guided the upcoming generation of models participating in beauty contests, as well as aspiring businesswomen.

According to local news sources, the husband of the model confessed to killing her, stating that he acted in self-defense.

In February of this year, Ms. Joksimovic's body was discovered a day after she was reportedly murdered. Authorities concluded that Kristina had been strangled prior to her death.

A court ruling reveals that the accused, along with her spouse, admitted to choking his wife.

A post-mortem examination revealed that the body had been cut up in the laundry room using a jigsaw, a knife, and garden shears, according to local news source Blick.

Her husband eventually admitted to murdering her, claiming it was in 'self-defense.' He stated that he dismembered her in the laundry room because he was overwhelmed with fear.

Friends were stunned by the news, with many turning to social media to share supportive messages on her Instagram posts.

"One of Kristina's friends shared with the local news site Blick that she appeared to have an ideal family. He mentioned that he last saw her in December, three months earlier. 'I'm really heartbroken,' he said."

Kristina's husband, Thomas*, had his request for release from detention denied on Wednesday by the Federal Court in Lausanne. The court stated that there were clear signs of mental illness involved in the case.

Christa Rigozzi, who won the title of Miss Switzerland in 2006, shared a heartfelt message online: "I'm at a loss for words and still feeling sad. Rest in peace, my dear."

"Words can't express my feelings. May you find peace in God's embrace," said Jastina Doreen Riederer, the 2018 champion.

Kristina posted pictures online of the couple marking their first anniversary in 2018, following their wedding in 2017.

In previous photos, she referred to her husband as "my support," and she expressed her joy when she revealed that she was expecting their second child.

Nadine Vinzens, who held the title of Miss Switzerland in 2002, was friends with Kristina. She expressed her feelings to Nau.ch upon hearing the news of Kristina's passing: "I knew her quite well and had a short encounter with him. I am completely stunned and deeply saddened."

"I never imagined that anything like this could occur."

In a comment on Kristina's recent social media update, she expressed, "I’m absolutely devastated. You were an amazing and kind person. I will always cherish our time together in LA. Rest in peace, beautiful."

Lorena Santen, who won the title of Miss Switzerland in 2023, was one of Kristina's students in the modeling class and expressed, "We are going to miss you dearly."

In February, ex-Miss Switzerland Christa Rigozzi expressed her shock to 20 Minuten, saying, "It's awful. I'm truly taken aback. My thoughts are with her two daughters. She was a lovely and warm-hearted person."

Miriam Rickli, the Swiss actress and TV host who competed in the Miss Switzerland finals with Kristina, expressed her shock after learning about her friend's death, saying, "I can hardly find the words."

Some expressed that they had noticed concerning issues within the family several months prior to the event.

An informant shared with Blick that the relationship had been struggling for several months, and there were claims that authorities had been contacted earlier due to incidents of physical aggression.

Investigators looking into the case have stated that Thomas, a business owner, exhibited an unusually high degree of criminal activity in their evaluation.

He is considered innocent until he is formally accused.

They mentioned a 'lack of compassion and a chilling demeanor following the murder of his wife,' as well as his attempts to hide the circumstances of her death. They also noted that the accused exhibited 'cruel and sociopathic characteristics.'

Before her passing, Kristina posted pictures on Instagram, taken by her husband, of her and their kids.

Kristina and her husband were blessed with two daughters.

Kristina, the mother of their two kids, was reportedly killed after she confronted him with a knife. He confessed to cutting her body into pieces 'in a fit of panic.'

Kristina guided the candidates for Miss Switzerland so they could emulate her journey.

According to reports, Kristina's husband stated that he fatally attacked her in self-defense when she approached him wielding a knife. It’s important to remember that he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

He allegedly acknowledged that he cut up the former model, with whom he shares two children, 'out of panic.'

A medical-forensic report also goes against his account of acting in self-defense, as stated by the Swiss news source FM1 Today.

Thomas, a citizen of Switzerland, was allegedly taken into custody the day after her body was discovered by someone else.

According to local source BZ Basel, prosecutors allege that the accused choked his wife prior to her death.

"It's truly heartbreaking and surprising to see what has occurred. I feel deeply sorry for the kids," said Swiss model and former Miss Switzerland Dominique Rinderknecht in an interview with Nau.

As she prepared for the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, Rinderknecht underwent runway training with Kristina and documented their journey on YouTube, attracting 500,000 views.

Kristina, who hails from Binningen and has Serbian heritage, is said to have transitioned from a modeling career to that of a runway coach, motivating future talents in the industry.

In addition to her other achievements, she guided the contestants of Miss Switzerland to emulate her success. She also helped female entrepreneurs develop the confidence to walk assertively in both their careers and personal lives.

In 2003, she was crowned the winner of the Miss Northwest Switzerland pageant and later became a finalist in the Miss Switzerland contest in 2008.

That same year, she established a coaching and consulting business aimed at helping aspiring models, all while continuing her full-time job in IT recruitment.

The mother of two tied the knot with her spouse in 2017 and has since shared updates featuring their kids.

Kristina, originally from Binningen and of Serbian heritage, participated in several beauty competitions during the 2000s.

Kristina was crowned Miss Northwest Switzerland and later became a finalist in the national competition in 2008.

Model Andrea Brotschi, who took part in a Swiss beauty contest, expressed her heartfelt sorrow for her friend: "I’m incredibly devastated and surprised. We had just seen each other."

"You were truly a wonderful person—compassionate, smart, and an all-around amazing individual. Why? Thank you, Kris, for everything you've done."

Frida Hodel, the Swiss Bachelorette from 2015, expressed her condolences for Kristina by saying, "We remember you fondly. I will always hold you in my heart. May you rest in peace."

Eli Simic, another contestant from the Bachelorette in 2017 who was searching for love, responded to Kristina's most recent Instagram update in Serbian: "Rest in peace, Kiki. I’m at a loss for words..."

“Kristina! This is unbelievable!” exclaimed Selina Beutler, an international makeup artist.
