Disappearance of Delphine Jubillar: what are the conclusions of the magistrates?
The investigating judges have ruled out certain avenues surrounding the disappearance of Delphine Jubillar, including in particular “the theory of voluntary departure, suicide or accident and kidnapping”. In the eyes of the magistrates, there is no longer any doubt that “Cédric Jubillar is the author of the murder of his wife”, report our colleagues from Le Parisien. For this, they rely on clues including in particular “the major difficulty” of the father of two children in “resign” to see his wife leave him, or even a “impulsive and violent character” denounced by several testimonies.
