• Delphine Jubillar, a Tarn nurse disappeared without a trace on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020. Suspected of having killed her, her husband Cédric was indicted and imprisoned on June 18,

  • After the rejection of his request for release at the beginning of the month, his lawyers had lodged an appeal, examined this Tuesday before the investigating chamber.

  • Without any new exculpatory evidence, the latter again called into question the “serious and concordant” indications which led their client to detention.

"It's unbearable to have a man imprisoned, who no longer sees his children, whose wife has disappeared and who claims his innocence ... with a file that is empty".

This Tuesday, Alexandre Martin, one of Cédric Jubillar's lawyers, challenged the continued detention of his client before the investigating chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal, in his absence.

Indicted and imprisoned since June 18 for "intentional homicide on a spouse", the plasterer who celebrated his 35th birthday on September 14, is suspected of the murder of his wife, Delphine, a nurse who disappeared on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020 and with whom he was in the process of separation.

A quilt left for analysis seven months later

In turn, without bringing any new elements, his defenders tried to dismantle point by point the elements of the file retained against their client. These serious and concordant clues which led to his indictment. All returned to the famous duvet, presented as a central element by investigators who suspect Cédric Jubillar of having put it in the washing machine just after calling them on the day of the disappearance.

“Putting a washing machine on the road may seem odd.

But is there a serious and concordant clue here?

We found the duvet 34 hours later.

During the searches of December 16 and 17, there was a plethora of items taken and placed under seal, but not the quilt and water from the machine presented as extremely confusing items.

And yet, before July 28, neither the investigating magistrates nor the gendarmes had the idea of ​​sending them for analysis, ”notes Emmanuelle Franck who also defends Cédric Jubillar.

End-to-end indices

The latter also returned to the operation of the suspect's cell phone the night of his disappearance. In particular on the consultation of a dating site when he turns his mobile back on, even before calling the gendarmes. “It's bizarre behavior, but we don't know if it's a consultation or a notification, even the gendarmes say so, but you made it a clue. Once we have discarded the behavioral or context clues, that is to say not much, the clues remain with all the reservations that we must put there. And then that's it, ”continues the lawyer whose client will be heard on October 15.

Arguments defended by the Advocate General who requested his continued detention.

For the representative of the prosecution, "we realize that put end to end and interpreted in a context", these indices allow to designate Cédric Jubillar as "the most likely to have committed the crime".
