Cédric Jubillar, suspected of having killed his wife Delphine, who disappeared at the end of 2020 in the Tarn, will not find freedom, as his lawyers once again demanded. He remains in prison for another six months, the court ruled on Monday. “Justice has decided to extend the detention of Cédric Jubillar considering that there were still investigations to be carried out”, announced one of his advisers, Alexandre Martin. The incarcerated husband’s lawyers have ten days to officially appeal, which they intend to do.
“The term of deposit, for a period of one year, expires in a few days. Cédric Jubillar is innocent, the detention is unjustified and we will repeat it before the judge of freedoms and detention (JLD), until we are heard, ”insisted Jean-Baptiste Alary, one of his defenders. , last Thursday during his hearing before the JLD. “It is a file which, instead of being supported, is disintegrating, collapsing a little more every day”, still estimated the lawyer. The Toulouse JLD had put its decision under advisement on Monday.
Delphine Jubillar, 33, a nurse in a clinic in Albi, was last seen on the evening of December 15, 2020, in her house in Cagnac-les-Mines, the village near Albi where she lived with her husband. and her two children. Cédric Jubillar reported his disappearance the following day at dawn. He claims his innocence, but after six months of investigation, he was indicted for voluntary homicide and imprisoned on June 18, 2021.
All requests for release rejected
He maintains that he has nothing to do with the disappearance of his wife, who had just announced her decision to divorce him. His lawyers filed several requests for release, all of which were rejected. Emmanuelle Franck, one of his advisers, describes “a crushed Cédric Jubillar, by a judicial gear, a judicial machine, which incarcerates first and thinks afterwards”.
Without overwhelming evidence, confessions, crime scene or body that could provide decisive elements, the investigators believe, however, that they have gathered a sufficient body of evidence to justify the 34-year-old plaster painter’s continued imprisonment.
