Claiming his innocence for months, Cédric Jubillar is undermined by the analysis of a very useful object: his mobile phone. Coming out of the hearing of the investigating chamber on June 28, 2022, at the Toulouse Court of Appeal, which was examining a possible conditional release of Delphine’s husband in pre-trial detention for spousal homicide since June 2021, the lawyer of the couple’s two children has made damning revelations about the main suspect in the case.
In interview for Toulouse news, master Laurent Boguet charged the husband of Delphine Jubillar, pointing to the use of his smartphone which was analyzed by experts. For him, the controversial craftsman clearly lied: “He explains that his phone ran out of battery on the evening of December 15 to 16, 2020 [la nuit fatidique]. But since he had to get up the next day to go to work, and his phone acts as an alarm clock, he then indicates that after putting it to recharge, he activated airplane mode. And this is a lie. (…) If this phone had been put to charge at night, as Cédric Jubillar asserts, it would have presented a very different charge index the next morning. So it may have just been cut.”
Maître Boguet supports his thesis by specifying that the analysts say that this telephone remained off “at the most strategic hours of the evening“, i.e. from 10:30 p.m. to 4 a.m., and therefore not simply in airplane mode. “This phone cut is quite unusual“, specifies the lawyer who underlines that the husband of Delphine used, like many people of his generation, very often his telephone. This turning off therefore corresponds to a moment, in the middle of the night, when he obviously did not want to be disturbed. , nor spotted.
The lawyer goes even further, thinking that as the telephone was cut off before 11 p.m., so before the argument in which his eldest son attended, hidden behind the door, Cédric had premeditated things. This means that he was already thinking of making an attempt on his wife’s life and that it wouldn’t just be a stroke of madness. He has in the past held violent words towards his wife such as “I’m fed up, I’m going to kill her, I’m going to bury her, no one will find her”. A sentence he said to his mother Nadine but which he had justified, during his interrogation with the examining magistrates, Audrey Assemat and Coralyne Chartier, by saying that he had uttered them out of anger. For Laurent Boguet, suspect number 1 also knew that his wife had a lover and was monitoring his actions. For the defense however, his elements are not concrete and without body or trace of the crime, nothing accuses Cédric Jubillar of having committed the irreparable.
Cédric Jubillar remains presumed innocent of the charges against him until the final judgment of this case.
