Overview

• On Monday, the court is set to question Cédric Jubillar specifically about the night of 15–16 December 2020 after a first round of four hours on Friday, with no dramatic turn expected.
• Cédric Jubillar, 38, has repeatedly denied killing Delphine, responding tersely during lengthy hearings and showing visible fatigue while sticking to his account.
• Prosecutors highlight a cluster of indicators—Delphine’s broken glasses, her Peugeot’s unusual position and apparent heat, a rare overnight shutdown of his phone followed by many calls, and reported screams—as aligning with homicide.
• The defense underscores the lack of material proof and the absence of a body despite extensive searches, and it contests witness accounts, including an ex‑partner’s alleged confession claim and a former cellmate’s testimony questioned for credibility.
• Closing arguments are slated through Thursday—parties civiles Monday–Tuesday, prosecution Wednesday, defense Thursday—with a verdict expected Friday, 17 October, when Jubillar faces a possible life sentence if convicted.
