Jubillar Trial: Ex-Partner Doubts His Guilt, Says He 'Joked' About Burying Delphine

The court has shifted to credibility battles in a no‑body case nearing the accused’s comprehensive questioning.

Overview

  • Séverine L., who dated Cédric Jubillar in spring 2021, told the court he did not behave like someone who had lost his wife and said he mentioned a burial near a burned farm “in jest.”
  • She depicted him as a practiced liar, cited remarks about erasing traces and a hoped‑for €7,000 life‑insurance payout, yet said she struggles to believe he killed Delphine.
  • Jennifer C. is expected to testify by videoconference after telling investigators he mimed strangling and warned, “If you cheat on me, you’ll end up next to her.”
  • A day earlier, former cellmate “Marco” reiterated claims that Jubillar confessed and cited a knife, a loaned car and a burned farm, though other inmates disputed him and searches there found nothing.
  • The accused’s mother recalled prior threats to “kill and bury” Delphine; Jubillar denies any role and calls incriminating remarks dark humor, with his recapitulatory interrogation scheduled for Friday.
