Reconstructing the night of December 15 to 16, 2020, during which Delphine Jubillar disappeared, is what investigators have been doing for a year and a half. Concrete evidence is lacking since no crime scene has been found, but various testimonies raise many questions. Among these, the word of a friend of the Tarn nurse. The Midi Dispatch had reported her remarks and in particular the fact that her husband and main suspect in the case lied.
In pre-trial detention for spousal homicide, Cédric Jubillar quickly questioned his behavior and his statements. The testimony of a friend of the couple does not play in his favor, even if the latter does not overwhelm the 34-year-old painter-plasterer: “I arrived at the house at the beginning of the afternoon, in Cagnac-les-Mines. Cedric was with a friend from the housing estate. I was surprised by the disorder that reigned in this house. There was a lot of dust and you couldn’t put a glass on the table anymore. Delphine was very orderly and used to keeping her house well. This mess was unlike him. During the conversation, I asked Cédric if Delphine hadn’t left with someone, an acquaintance, a friend? I was unaware at that time of their plan to separate. Cédric replied that she had no lover, not to her knowledge. In retrospect, I know he lied to me since he knew.“
Indeed, he knew full well that his wife had a lover. According to the explanations collected and repeated by Marco, his former cellmate, on the last evening when Delphine Jubillar was seen alive, Cédric would have gone to join her to recover his phone charger but would then “broke a nerve“Seeing his wife immersed in her phone. He would have first seen a message from his wife’s lover with whom she was texting, relates the fellow prisoner. He took his phone from his hands and saw the messages. “That’s what pissed him off“, indicates the ex-convict. For months, the Jubillar couple had been struggling and his wife had met another man with whom there was a real crush. The lovers hoped to settle down together after the end of year celebrations.
Cédric Jubillar remains presumed innocent of the charges against him until the final judgment of this case.
