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.
When you put it like that... Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to judge.
It was self defense, after all, and one can never be too safe.
Woman must have been an antideluvian vampire to require such extreme measures.
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.
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.
That's, that's a brand new sentence.
This is the most psychopathic thing I have seen in quite some time. wtf
This story is wild to read, how do you purée someone and still find a body and determine they were strangled?
I mean, considering how some of them can struggle with ice cubes, you'd need one hell of a (consumer grade) blender to effectively get rid of a body
I suspect he vastly underestimated the scope of the job.
Shopkeeper: Oh, hello Thomas, back already? How was that blender? Not big enough you say? Well how big do you need? A whole large coconut you say?
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.
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
Not to mention hell for your blender. Bones…aren’t exactly “puréeable.” Any blade would get dull pretty fast when going through human body parts.

Meh. I’m team BlendTec. They’d probably make a commercial for this. “Next on Will It Blend! Fashion models!”
"We're here about the homicide. Where's the body?"
"Nope, ain't nothing here except 60 litres of strawberry smoothie".
"the ruling from the court held Ms Joksimovic was strangled to death."
CSI Switzerland must be fucking wizards, man.
Because what sane person, who upon walking into their home and finding a loved one unconscious (or even worse :dead:) doesn’t reach for their blender.
Amiright, guys??
What brand was this blender? I would like to know, not because I have any former models that need blending, but because that thing must've been a tank
I mean they found a body so I assume it wasn't that great
Asking the real questions here. I've got a ninja and I'm pretty sure there's no way I could puree bones.
Because that would sure eliminate the DNA evidence...
A murderer and a moron.
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.
They quoted the word "pureed" which means there was butter and potato starch involved
That's better. I was afraid he was just gonna chop her up. But having her as some portion of a meal... So much better.
The start of the headline lured me in for the biggest WTF moment I've had in ages. I'll be sweating bullets the next time I see something about a former model/Miss-Wherever
People following the story of a former Olympic runner: First time?
What. The fuck.
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.
What the fuck bros
Poor girl...
Did he drink her?
That is the question
And it was a hand blender even. Wow
Wow is right. That man probably voided his warranty if he blended her feet.
Jesus fucking Christ.
What the actual fuck? No jail for this motherfucker, just throw him into a vulcano
MBS gonna hire this guy
I bet he used a Blendtec
This is human smoke. Don't breathe this.
Um, so did they say what blender it was?
Is that your friend in the woodchipper there, heh?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
