Overview

• The Tarn assize court in Albi is trying Cédric Jubillar for the alleged killing of his wife, Delphine, who vanished in December 2020.
• On Tuesday, Delphine’s siblings and other relatives told the court they believe he lied about the night she disappeared and portrayed her as a devoted mother unlikely to leave on her own.
• A recording from December 17, 2020 was played in which Jubillar spoke of his wife in the past tense and said she “had someone” in her life, with his apparent tears later questioned by the cousin who captured the audio.
• Under questioning, Jubillar admitted using coarse, demeaning language and harsh punishments toward his son, while insisting he did nothing to Delphine.
• Wednesday’s witnesses include Anne S., a close friend who was among the first contacted after the disappearance, and several of Delphine’s colleagues; a verdict is scheduled for October 17.
