[edit] Biography
[edit] Early life
Pajčin was born in Belgrade and her family originates from Gubin, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] She started her professional dancing career at discothèques.
[edit] Music career
Ksenija started her career as a go-go dancer.[1] She appeared as backup dancer in the music video for Dragana Mirkovic's song Opojni su zumbuli in 1994. She was offered the opportunity to join a pop duet, The Duck, as a female vocal.[1] Marija Mihajlović actually sang for their debut album, while Pajčin only lip synced.[1]
As a dancer, she became famous in Greece, where she performed in numerous night clubs.[1] Pajčin later went on to have a solo music career, and while her vocals were not impressive, she garnered attention for her dancing and outfits. She owned a dance studio in Belgrade[1] and worked as a model. She frequently appeared in tabloids and was known for her outrageous statements. She openly discussed her sex life and plastic surgery.[2]
[edit] Death
Ksenija and her boyfriend Filip were heavily injured and nearly died in a car accident on 28 January 2010, just 47 days before they died in a murder-suicide.[3]
On 16 March 2010, the bodies of the 32-year-old singer and her boyfriend Filip Kapisoda, a 22-year-old model, were found in her apartment in Belgrade.[4] Both had gunshot wounds to the head. Police suspect a murder-suicide, with Kapisoda as the shooter. Police were called to the house several nights earlier as the couple were reported by neighbors because Kapisoda had broken into Pajcin's apartment, knocking down the door.[5] Early investigation reports stated that the dead bodies were discovered by the singer's mother, and that the gun used in the homicide was found next to Kapisoda's body. It is believed that the motive for the murder-suicide was jealousy. Further investigating has led to believe that she aborted a baby she had with Kapisoda. She hid this secret from Kapisoda, knowing that he would not love her anymore and leave her. He then somehow discovered about the secret, he killed her, and later himself. Bojana Rankovic, the main investigator for the murder of Pajčin, said that she was warned through a text message that Kapisoda would kill her. In addition, the pistol used by Kapisoda was not his own, leading investigators to believe that someone else may have been involved.[6]
