Jubillar Trial Enters Decisive Week With Lover, Neighbors Taking the Stand

An interrogation of the accused is slated for Friday with a verdict due October 17.

Overview

  • On Monday, Donat, known as “Jean” and identified as Delphine’s last known interlocutor, is due to testify after investigators said searches, phone data and DNA cleared him of involvement.
  • A mother and daughter are expected to recount muffled screams they say they heard around 11 p.m. the night Delphine vanished, followed by a gendarme’s account of the couple’s son describing a dispute that evening.
  • On Tuesday, neighbor Guillaume is scheduled to testify that a blue Peugeot 207 parked on Rue Yves‑Montand changed orientation during the night, a point the prosecution links to an alleged transport of a body, which the defense disputes.
  • An expert will also be heard on the condition of Delphine’s glasses, with prosecutors suggesting breakage during a violent argument and the defense arguing they were already damaged.
  • Later in the week, the court plans to hear from Cédric Jubillar’s mother, former cellmates and ex‑companions before the defendant’s questioning on October 10.
