The man is suspected of having killed his wife, Delphine Jubillar, at the end of 2020, whose body has not been found. His lawyers demanded his placement under judicial supervision with wearing an electronic bracelet, which the judge of freedoms and detention refused on Monday.
A murder without a body and without a crime scene clues without proof and a suspect behind bars for a year: after eighteen months of investigation, the Jubillar case retains all its mystery. Monday, June 13, the judge of freedoms and detention ordered the renewal of the warrant of deposit of Cédric Jubillar, imprisoned in the remand center of Seysses (Haute-Garonne), not far from Toulouse. Thursday, June 9, the three lawyers from Taranis pleaded for his release and placement under judicial supervision with wearing an electronic bracelet. After examining the 11,266 pages of the file, the judge followed the prosecution’s requisitions which demanded continued detention. The defense has announced its intention to appeal. It will be up to the investigating chamber to decide – which it could do in a few days.
” I am innocent. I did not do anything. “ Since June 18, 2021, the date of his indictment for “voluntary homicide by spouse” and his placement in pre-trial detention, Cédric Jubillar, 35, has claimed his innocence. Faced with the accusation, the plasterer painter denies any involvement, and his lawyers plead “the presumption of innocence” and “an empty file”. They are demanding the release of their client and, to date, all requests filed with the investigating chamber have been rejected. “Nothing justifies his remaining in detention”, they believe, especially since, according to them, leads, other than those targeting Cédric Jubillar, have not been investigated.
The case starts on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020, in Cognac-Les-Mines (Tarn), in the very early hours of a cold morning and under an anti-Covid curfew. Around 4 a.m., Cédric Jubillar, father of two children and husband of Delphine, is awakened by the tears of his youngest child. According to his first testimony, he went to bed shortly after 10:30 p.m., leaving his wife and eldest son, aged 6, on the living room sofa watching a television program on M6.
