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.

    My mind couldn’t contemplate the title when I first read it. I thought this was some sort of AI art or deep fake “blender” program that he was selling nudes or vids of her that he had constructed… the whole actual person being put into a blender just didn’t even compute.

      I was so confused at the title too. What does being “pureed” in blender animation software even mean?

      Why do people suddenly call a mixer a blender? Isn’t “blend” related to light? English makes no sense.

        English makes no sense.

        Too true!

        Isn’t “blend” related to light?

        You can use blend for anything, especially if you’re creating a mix of two original things. And you could mix light too (you have things like mix() for colors in CSS).

        In cooking, I would call something you use to mix dough a mixer, and something you use to make a smoothie a blender. I guess there are some subtle differences in “feel” but the words are almost interchangeable.

      Okay gallows humor here, fair warning.

      Have you ever made a fucking smoothie? Do you know how hard it is to get that last little bit of ice to properly puree? Now imagine trying to blend fucking bone.

    If this happens ever again, people are going to call the police on each other when they make smoothies for dinner. This is why the TSA will have a separate tray for blenders.

    BZ Basel also said Thomas was arrested the day after Ms Joksimovic’s body was found, and initially told investigators he had found her dead and dismembered her body in their laundry room in panic.

    Let those who have not dismembered a family member in a panic with a jigsaw and garden shears before dissolving their pulped body in a bath of acid throw the first stone.

      There’s a documentary on Hulu I highly recommend called The Jinx, about multimillionaire serial killer Robert Durst. One of my favorite lines from him is “I did not kill my best friend, but I did dismember him”.

      His family owns like half of NYC. Someone I know used to work directly under them and can confirm the batshit runs down the whole family tree.

        No spoilers, but the very end of that series is absolutely insane. Up there with “Icarus” or “An Honest Liar” as great documentaries that end up having a completely unpredictable twist that changes the trajectory of the film completely.

    That’s an episode of “Will It Blend?” I didn’t think we’d ever get in real life.
