Miss Switzerland Finalist Strangled, ‘Pureed’ in Blender by Husband: Police

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. Joksimovic, an international model, mentor, and mother of two, was allegedly strangled in her home, then dismembered with a jigsaw and her remains blended and chemically destroyed. 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.

Witness No-Show Rocks D4vd Tesla Investigation: Report
Tension is boiling inside the grand jury investigating Celeste Rivas’ death, as a key female witness now risks arrest for refusing to testify. TMZ reports the deputy D.A. threatened a body-attachment order after the witness failed to appear — and she’s represented by the same attorney as D4vd’s manager, who spent days fielding questions about why he never called police. With prosecutors treating singer D4vd as a suspect in an alleged homicide, Law&Crime's Jesse Weber breaks down what this standoff means for the investigation with former deputy attorney general Mark Weaver.
