her husband, Cédric Jubillar, kept in detention by the courts

Justice decided, Friday, June 2, to keep Cédric Jubillar in detention, his lawyers told AFP. The latter is accused of the murder of his wife Delphine, nurse and mother of two children, who disappeared at the end of 2020 in the Tarn.

“Unsurprisingly, it’s the same thing over and over again: the same criteria are repeated at leisure to keep this man in pre-trial detention again and again, while we are starting to arrive at extremely long procedural deadlines and we has serious exit solutions”lamented to the press one of Cédric Jubillar’s lawyers, Me Jean-Baptiste Alary, after a closed-door hearing.

The need to preserve evidence

The liberty and detention judge justified his decision by the need to preserve the evidence, and by “the risk of pressure on witnesses, the guarantees of representation in court, which would be insufficient according to the magistrate, and the exceptional and persistent disturbance to public order”added Me Jean-Baptiste Alary.

The defense of Cédric Jubillar considers that the file does not contain any proof of the guilt of this plasterer painter, detained in the Seysses remand center, near Toulouse, since June 18, 2021, the date of his indictment for murder. Seysses prison is “one of the worst in France, in detention conditions that are deplorable, especially when you are in solitary confinement”underlined the lawyer.
