Marc Rieben, a Swiss man accused of murdering his wife, Kristina Joksimovic, is sentenced to life imprisonment, according to multiple reports. The case centers on the killing of the Miss Switzerland finalist in February 2024, after an argument that led to her death. During trial proceedings, prosecutors and court accounts describe how Rieben used household tools to dismember her body. Reports state that he used items including a jigsaw and a knife, and that he further separated remains using garden shears. Several outlets report that he then liquidised or “pureed” her remains using a blender. Rieben’s defense and testimony described an alternative narrative, including claims that Joksimovic attacked him with a knife and that she had a history of domestic violence, though these accounts are presented as part of the trial rather than as verified facts. One outlet also reports that Rieben’s lawyer portrayed him as an “ideal husband,” citing his involvement with childcare during the night. Accounts from the courtroom describe Joksimovic’s parents as visibly distressed during the sentencing and related proceedings.
