Miss Switzerland Finalist Strangled, ‘Pureed’ in Blender by Husband: Police
Swiss prosecutors have charged the husband of former Miss Switzerland finalist Kristina Joksimovic with murder in a case marked by staggering brutality.

Her husband initially told police he found her dead before claiming self-defense — a version investigators say is flatly contradicted by the evidence. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down the newly filed murder charges, the disturbing forensic details revealed by court documents, and what this case could hinge on at trial with criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Safa Robinson-Ferrer.PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW:Download the SAN app at https://san.com/sidebar for Unbiased, Straight factsHOST:Jesse Weber: https://twitter.com/jessecordweberLAW&CRIME SIDEBAR PRODUCTION:YouTube Management - Bobby SzokeVideo Editing - Michael Deininger, Christina O'Shea, Alex Ciccarone, & Jay CruzScript Writing & Producing - Savannah Williamson & Juliana BattagliaGuest Booking - Alyssa Fisher & Diane KayeSocial Media Management - Vanessa BeinSTAY UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LAW&CRIME NETWORK:Watch Law&Crime Network on YouTubeTV: https://bit.ly/3td2e3yWhere To Watch Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3akxLK5Sign Up For Law&Crime's Daily Newsletter: https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletterRead Fascinating Articles From Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3td2IqoLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrimeTwitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
