Cédric Jubillar has admitted in a letter to his lawyers that he is responsible for the death of his wife Delphine, who disappeared in December 2020 in the Tarn.
Cédric Jubillar, 38, sent these confessions last week to his lawyers Me Pierre and Guy Debuisson. He admitted being responsible for the disappearance of Delphine Jubillar on the night of 15 to 16 December 2020 in Cagnac-les-Mines, without however admitting to murder.
The lawyers held a press conference on Monday. They described a marital dispute that went wrong and explained that their client had moved the body to protect his children. They called the case a crime of passion and denounced a botched investigation.
Sentenced to 30 years of criminal imprisonment in autumn 2025 by the Albi assize court, Cédric Jubillar was due to be tried on appeal in Toulouse from 21 September. His lawyers believe that this hearing would now be grotesque and are requesting additional information to find the body.
