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.

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:

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.

CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org on 12 Sep 2024 22:00 collapse

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?)

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”.

Tikiporch@lemmy.world on 14 Sep 2024 02:26 collapse

You’re always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute.

Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.

The article is unclear about which body parts were dismantled and blended, i assume he just did the arms and legs or something. Which leaves a lot of the body to be found and analyzed.

Basically, if i get this right, he was cutting the body in pieces and blending them one by one, which i assume must be a long process so no wonder he got caught. Honestly if i were to get rid of a body that would also be my plan in its entirety

I found about 66 liters as the volume of the average person. Assuming a regular 1.5 liter blender, that would mean roughly 44 blending sessions. And that’s not taking into account the problems you’ll have with large bones or bones in general.

Bones, tendons, cartilage those blades would probably be toast after about 30 minutes. The article also mentioned chemical so I’m assuming he tried to do some form of chemical treatment but it wasn’t moving along fast enough.

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.
