In the enigma of the disappearance of Delphine Jubillar more than a year ago in the Tarn, doubt has still not given way to certainties. If the companion of Cédric Jubillar, heard in mid-December as part of this investigation, said Thursday that she still supports him, she at the same time admitted “not to be 100% sure of his innocence”.
“I support him, I’m not going to let go of his hand now,” said this 44-year-old woman to 100% Radio, released on December 16 after being in custody for more than a day for ” concealment of a corpse ”. She also added that she continues to exchange by mail with Cédric Jubillar, 34, detained in solitary confinement at the Seysses remand center, near Toulouse, since his indictment on June 18 for intentional homicide by joint. “Since my custody, I received four letters during the holidays, two by two,” she explained, without commenting on their content.
His lawyer, Fabienne Bex, clarified that his client was out of custody exhausted, ended around 9 p.m. without any prosecution being retained, and has since preferred to stay in the background. But after “a lull, positive for her health and her serenity”, “she is fine”, added Me Bex, deploring the publication of a lot of information, according to her, erroneous.
A link announced on Facebook
The lawyer denounced in particular the fact that “it was indicated that the new companion of Cédric Jubillar knew the latter ten years ago, which is totally false”. If he “lived in the Albigensian region, my client really got to know Cédric Jubillar in April 2021 and not before. At least not on a personal basis. She knew him before only through the media, ”said the lawyer. Cédric Jubillar had revealed their affair by posting a photo of them on Facebook, which shocked relatives of the disappeared.
The lawyer also recalled that the companion of Cédric Jubillar “has always been in the same position of quest and help in this investigation” with “an investment perhaps more increased at the beginning than now, given his hearing. “. His client, who was “annoyed by Internet users, on social networks”, “is now more in the background, leaves room for investigators” because “she did everything she could to help and collaborate with” them.
A case without a body or a confession
Cédric and Delphine Jubillar were in the process of divorce when, on December 15, 2020, she disappeared in the middle of the night from their house in Cagnac-les-Mines. In this investigation without a body or confession, he remains the number 1 suspect. He claims to be innocent, but the courts consider that they have sufficient evidence to keep him in pre-trial detention. Tuesday, the investigative chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal must examine his new request for release.
