Justice confirmed Monday that Cedric Jubillar was still being held. He is suspected of killing his wife Delphine. She disappeared in 2020, according to the lawyers.
The Advocate General had asked for the continuation of detention of the 34-year-old man, who claimed innocence, on June 28 during a closed-door hearing. .
Emmanuelle Franck was one of the defense attorneys who requested her client’s release once more. She denounced Monday “the stubbornness in justice that can only lead to tragedy”
Jean-Baptiste Alary (another Cedric Jubillar lawyer) said that the reasons of the investigating chamber for keeping his client in detention “always the exact same.” This is to avoid pressure on witnesses and the disappearance or destruction of evidence, stated Jean-Baptiste Alary. He regretted that the investigating chamber does not specify what evidence it is.
Defense lawyers plan to continue their fight to get their client released.
In the absence of any irrefutable evidence the investigators continue to present “a body of consistent and serious evidence” against Cedric Jubilar.
On June 13, a judge of freedoms (JLD), extended the detention of the main suspect by six months. The original one-year period was scheduled for June 18. Indicted in June 2021 for intentional homicide, he was placed in solitary confinement at the Seysses detention center, near Toulouse.
Delphine Jubillar was 33 years old and worked as a nurse at Albi’s clinic. She was last seen in Cagnac-les Mines, where she lived with her husband, two children, and her mother.
Cedric Jubillar was quickly identified as the main suspect by investigators, even though he claimed his innocence. He highlighted the absence of any crime scene or irrefutable evidence and became the main suspect.
