” She gets on my nerves. I’m going to kill her, I’m going to bury her and no one will find her ”. Here is what Cédric Jubillar would have said one autumn morning, at the end of October-beginning of November, to his mother, in a parking lot. According to the revelations made by The Parisian this Sunday evening, Nadine F. confirmed during her police custody that this sentence had indeed been spoken by her son. And, stunned by the evidence presented to her by investigators, she even begged him to confess the truth during a confrontation. Without success.
Cédric Jubillar, indicted and imprisoned on June 18 for “murder on a spouse”, still claims his innocence. This Tuesday, his lawyers will request his release during a hearing before the investigating chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal.
“No really conclusive element”, according to the defense
And this death threat, pronounced a few weeks before Delphine Jubillar disappears without a trace, will not fail to fuel the debates. “He was able to pronounce a cookie-cutter sentence, but what interests us is not what he said but what he did”, explains to 20 minutes Alexandre Martin who, with Jean-Baptiste Alary and Emmanuelle Franck, defends the 33-year-old drywall player. “We are going to demonstrate that with a very objective and professional look at the case, none of the elements put forward is really conclusive,” adds the defense.
It intends in particular to return point by point to the “serious and concordant elements” delivered by the public prosecutor of Toulouse on June 18, just after the indictment of Cédric Jubillar. Among them, “the cries of distress of a woman” heard by two neighbors – a mother and her daughter – at 11:07 pm, the evening of the disappearance. “These cries were not heard by neighbors much closer and from which it appears from the depositions that they were well awake at that time”, underlines Alexandre Martin. The mist on the window of Delphine’s car observed by the gendarmes on their arrival at the Jubillar home around 4:50 am? “Fog in a car with the window left open is a non-argument,” retorts Alexandre Martin.
It also seems that Cédric Jubillar turned off his cell phone during the famous night, which he never did. “His cell phone just didn’t emit any activation sign from the time he said he went to bed, around 11pm, until he woke up around 4am. [3h54 selon le parquet] », Defuses the lawyer. As for the speed with which the husband warned the gendarmes that morning, which calls out to the investigators, in the context of a couple in the process of separation. “We will produce the transcript of exchanges which show a real concern”, announces the defense.
Delphine Jubillar, a 33-year-old nurse, mother of two, vanished from her home in Cagnac-les-Mines, in the Tarn, on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020. The trail of spousal homicide is preferred by investigators.
