A former Swiss beauty queen was murdered in February. Her husband is the main suspect, with shocking details emerging about the crime’s aftermath.
Beauty queen turned coach met tragic end
Kristina J., a 38-year-old mother of two, was found dead in Switzerland earlier this year. She had won a regional beauty pageant in Switzerland in the early 2000s and later ran a coaching company that trained models for the catwalk.
The main suspect in her murder is her husband, who is currently in pre-trial detention. He recently filed a lawsuit seeking release, but the Federal Court in Lausanne decided he must remain in custody until the trial. This decision has brought disturbing details about Kristina J.’s death to light.
Suspect claims self-defense, court disagrees
According to Swiss media reports, the husband initially claimed to have found his wife’s body and “panicked,” leading him to dismember her in the laundry room. Later, he admitted to the prosecution that he had strangled her but insisted it was in self-defense, alleging that Kristina J. had attacked him with a knife.
However, the court in Lausanne does not believe his account. Swiss media quote the ruling: “The medical-forensic report contradicts his claim of self-defense.”
Gruesome details of post-murder actions revealed
The autopsy report detailed how the body was dismembered after the killing. The suspect reportedly used not only a jigsaw, knife, and garden shears but also pureed several body parts with a hand blender and used chemicals to dissolve them.
The court described the suspect’s actions as showing “remarkably high criminal energy, lack of empathy, and cold-bloodedness after killing his wife.” Furthermore, it was noted that the suspect had previously choked his wife, an incident that was on record.
The court’s decision to keep the suspect in custody was based on these findings, which paint a disturbing picture of the crime and its aftermath.
