Disappearance of Delphine Jubillar: her husband, Cédric, remains in prison

The Court of Appeal rejects the request for release, the 3rd, of Cédric Jubillar. The husband of the nurse, who has been missing since December 15, 2020, therefore remains in pre-trial detention. On January 11, Cédric Jubillar’s lawyers unveiled a new argument to demand the release of Cédric Jubillar, hypothesizing that Delphine Jubillar could have left the home on her own, the evening of her disappearance.

This possibility goes against the thesis of the investigators, who believe that the husband killed Delphine Jubillar during an argument, in their house in Cagnac-les-Mines, after having read an SMS from his wife’s lover. , on his phone.

“There are objective elements in the file which allow us to consider that it is more than likely that she changed to go out” de the house, said Emmanuelle Franck, one of Cédric Jubillar’s lawyers after her argument before the investigating chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal.

For this new request for release, the hearing took place in the absence of this 34-year-old painter and plasterer, and behind closed doors, at the request of the public prosecutor’s office, against the advice of defense lawyers. . It had been the same during the previous request for release, which had been rejected in November, while a first request had suffered the same fate in September. For justice, 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.

According to his lawyers, Cédric Jubillar will be heard again at the beginning of February concerning the accusations made by one of his cell neighbors, relayed in the press, to whom Delphine’s husband allegedly affirmed that he killed his wife and buried her body, in pointing him to a particular place. “It’s a non-information, a manipulation, an organized staging, as if by chance, on the anniversary date of Delphine’s disappearance”, pointed to Me Martin, irritated.

For Me Alary, if the lead was credible, it would have already led to the resolution of the investigation: “If it’s serious, why didn’t we find the body?” he launched.

Laurent Boguet, the lawyer for the children of the Jubillar couple, civil party, estimated last Tuesday that it was necessary “to still leave room for acts of investigation carried out by justice. The requests formulated by Cédric Jubillar appear premature”.

Since his indictment for intentional homicide on June 18, Cédric Jubillar has been held in solitary confinement at the Seysses remand center, near Toulouse. He has always maintained his innocence.
