No electronic bracelet in the immediate future for Cédric Jubillar. For the eighth time in two years, Toulouse magistrates refused his request for release on Tuesday. Two years after the preventive imprisonment of the plaster painter for the murder of his wife Delphine, the Investigation Chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal confirmed on appeal the decision taken at the beginning of the month by a judge of freedoms and detention to keep the husband in prison, we learned from one of Cédric Jubillar’s lawyers.
In France, this measure, reviewed every six months at the end of the first year of detention, can last up to three years if the penalty incurred is more than 20 years’ imprisonment, which is the case in the case of the disappearance of the Tarn nurse.
Delphine Jubillar vanished from the family home of Cagnac-les-Mines on the night of December 15 to 16, 2019. No trace of her has been found since. Her husband Cédric, who had given the alert and with whom she had started divorce proceedings to live a new love story, was indicted and imprisoned on June 18, 2020. He has since been held in solitary confinement at the Seysses remand center, near Toulouse. The main suspect has never ceased to claim his innocence.
Even in the absence of discovery of the body, Cédric Jubillar could be tried before the assizes in the course of the year 2024.
