A murder without a body and without a crime scene, clues without proof and a suspect behind bars for a year: after eighteen months of investigation, the Jubillar case retains all its mystery. Monday, June 13, the judge of freedoms and detention ordered the renewal of the warrant of deposit of Cédric Jubillar, imprisoned in the remand center of Seysses (Haute-Garonne), not far from Toulouse. Thursday, June 9, the three lawyers from Tarn had pleaded for his release and his placement under judicial supervision with the wearing of an electronic bracelet. After examining the 11,266 pages of the file, the judge followed the prosecution’s requisitions which demanded continued detention. The defense has announced its intention to appeal. It will be up to the investigating chamber to decide – which it could do in a few days.
” I am innocent. I did not do anything. » Since June 18, 2021, the date of his indictment for “voluntary homicide by spouse” and his placement in pre-trial detention, Cédric Jubillar, 35, has claimed his innocence. Faced with the accusation, the plasterer painter denies any involvement and his lawyers plead ” the presumption of innocence ” et “an empty folder”. They demand the release of their client and to date, all requests filed with the investigating chamber have been rejected. “There is no reason for him to remain in detention”they believe, especially since, according to them, leads, other than those targeting Cédric Jubillar, have not been investigated.
