About this episode

The perfect dinner: Thomas and the basement of Binningen: The femicide of Cristina Hox Cristina's head was in a garbage bag in the basement while her husband Thomas prepared dinner and put their daughters to bed with complete ease. How can a man talk about the day, serve food, and put children to sleep knowing exactly what he was hiding beneath his feet? In this episode, we explore the contradictions between the model family that Thomas and Cristina projected on social media and years of hidden domestic violence. We analyze how meticulously organized tools, dissolving chemicals, and his post-crime behavior reveal an act of sadistic premeditation, not a panic impulse as he claimed. What triggered the homicide on February 13, 2024? Victim: Cristina Hox Date: February 13, 2024 Location: Binningen, Switzerland Status: Thomas found guilty, bail denied - The jigsaw saw, pruning shears, and hand mixer were arranged with meticulous order in the laundry room, contradicting his panic alibi. - Thomas changed his statement in March: first he said he found the dead body; then he claimed self-defense, but he had no injuries. - He posted photos on Instagram the same day, February 13, with the phrase "my family is my world" hours before the crime. - Cristina planned to leave the relationship out of fear of Thomas's reaction, according to testimonies from relatives documented by the investigation.
