The investigation chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal rejected the request for release filed on Tuesday. Cédric Jubillar has been detained since last June for the murder of his wife Delphine, which he denies.
The investigation chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal rejected, this Friday, the request for release of Cédric Jubillar, detained since June for the murder of his wife Delphine, which he denies. “The refusal to release was confirmed by the Court of Appeal”, told reporters one of Cédric Jubillar’s lawyers, Alexandre Martin, who has already pleaded several times in favor of the release of his client.
Cédric Jubillar, suspected of having killed his wife Delphine Jubillar and imprisoned since June in the Toulouse-Seysses prison, continues to say he is innocent and had made a new request for release on Tuesday before the Toulouse Court of Appeal. “More than ever, this file is empty, this file is disintegrating over time, it is getting bogged down. We have been saying it for six months, and we continue to keep this man in detention., professed one of his lawyers, Jean-Baptiste Alary, before the hearing. “To keep him in detention becomes totally unreasonable, he pleads. The six months he spent free, he did not harm the investigation, it is necessary that justice finds serenity in the analysis of the file.
Third rejection
This is the third rejection for this 34-year-old painter and plasterer for his release. The previous requests were rejected by the courts for which consistent clues make it possible to conclude that the husband was involved in the disappearance of the nurse from Cagnac-les-Mines, near Albi, on December 15, 2020. In this case without a body or confessions, the investigators of the gendarmerie’s research section are continuing their research in the field and a cell dedicated to these investigations remains active, more than a year after the disappearance.
A twist in this affair occurred in December, a year to the day after the disappearance of Delphine Jubillar. The new companion of Cédric Jubillar was placed in police custody, before being released, without being indicted. The gendarmes thought she might have information on the whereabouts of the nurse’s body. Shaken by this police custody, this 44-year-old woman said Thursday that she still supported her companion, but that she could not help but doubt, admitting “not being 100% sure of his innocence”.
Cédric and Delphine Jubillar, 33, who worked as a night nurse in a clinic in Albi, were in the process of divorce when, on December 15, 2020, she disappeared at night from their house in Cagnac-les-Mines, in the middle of curfew. Shortly before, he had learned that his wife had a lover and was planning to start a new life with him. On Saturday, a mass in homage to Delphine Jubillar was celebrated in the Sainte-Cécile cathedral in Albi, on the initiative of her brothers and sister as well as friends. She gathered a hundred people.
