“We would move towards a hearing which would begin towards the end of September for four to five weeks”, explained to some journalists Me Alexandre Martin, one of Cédric Jubillar's three lawyers, after a meeting with magistrates in charge of the organization of this hearing, at the Toulouse Court of Appeal.
One of the lawyers for the civil parties, Me Philippe Pressecq, for his part indicated a “slot from September 22 to October 10” for this murder trial which is to be held in Albi, before the Tarn Assize Court. Delphine Jubillar, nurse and mother of two children, disappeared on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020 in the middle of a curfew linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, in Cagnac-les-Mines (Tarn).
“Outstanding” trial
This disappearance caused great excitement in France, a few days before the Christmas holidays and a few weeks after the conviction of Jonathann Daval for the murder of his wife in Haute-Saône, which he had long denied by taking on the role of the grieving husband. . Cédric Jubillar, a 37-year-old plasterboard painter, was indicted for murder and placed in detention on June 18, 2021.
In this case without a body, no confession, no witness, no crime scene, no irrefutable evidence, investigators are convinced that Cédric Jubillar killed his wife, when she had just announced her intention to divorce. “This is an extraordinary trial where everything is contested, many witnesses will be called, experts too, […] as everything is discussed, it is a very detailed analysis that will have to be made of this file,” underlined Mr. Martin.
