What happened on the night of December 15-16, 2020 at the Jubillar family home in
Cagnac-les-Mines, in the Tarn? It is on this key moment in the disappearance of Delphine, of which no trace has been found since, that the magistrates in charge of the case should focus their questions this Friday at the Toulouse courthouse.
This is the second time that Cédric Jubillar has left his cell in the Seysses remand center for a hearing since his indictment for “murder of a spouse”, on June 18, 2021. During the first interrogation, on October 15 , the magistrates were attached to the strained relations in the couple in the process of separation, the nurse having decided to leave the marital home to live with her lover.
He says he’s innocent since his arrest
“We are happy that he is heard,” said Alexandre Martin, one of the three lawyers of the 34-year-old plaster painter to AFP. Whoever claims his innocence from the start should “continue to say what he says from the beginning, which is not contradicted by any objective element of the file”. “He therefore waits with serenity for the judges’ questions,” adds Alexandre Martin.
The defense, which has already unsuccessfully requested three times the release of its client, believes that “the presumption of innocence is violated”. Investigators and judges for their part consider that they hold a “bundle of serious and concordant clues”. On the evening of the disappearance, two of the couple’s neighbors heard frightened cries of a woman. Cédric Jubillar should also be questioned on his cell phone, which was cut off for several hours that night, before he reported Delphine’s disappearance to the gendarmes.
