Cédric Jubillar Trial Opens in Albi as Accused Reiterates Denial

Jurors must weigh a circumstantial dossier without a body or crime scene.

Overview

  • On day two, the court is set to hear the first responding gendarmes after completing an initial focus on personality evidence and a psychologist’s testimony.
  • Jubillar allowed filming in the dock and told the court he still contests the charges, later saying the disappearance of his wife and not seeing his children "touch" him.
  • Personality findings presented in court describe a chaotic upbringing, heavy cannabis use and online habits, with Jubillar admitting he maltreated his son and saying he "reproduced the pattern."
  • The prosecution highlights broken glasses, a washed duvet with trace blood and a missing phone, alongside accounts of a dispute and reported screams, all challenged by the defense.
  • An ex-companion says Jubillar told her he strangled Delphine and described the gestures, assertions he disputes, as roughly 65 witnesses and 11 experts are scheduled before a verdict expected October 17.
