Overview

• The president of the Tarn court of assizes ordered a supplemental inquiry on July 21 to formally hear Cédric Jubillar’s ex-girlfriend.
• Toulouse gendarmes began interviewing the witness on July 23 in the Gers and must deliver their findings by July 31.
• The ex-girlfriend has confirmed that Jubillar confessed to strangling his wife and pointed to an agricultural site as a hiding place for Delphine’s body.
• This court-ordered hearing relies on France’s Article 283 procedure and leaves the trial date of September 22 unaffected.
• Jubillar, in pre-trial detention since June 2021, continues to deny any involvement in his wife’s disappearance and murder charges.
