Overview

  • The third week opened with the victim’s lover describing threats he says Delphine received and stating his personal conviction that Cédric Jubillar killed her, while he denied any role in her disappearance.
  • The defense asserted that the lover’s number appears among lines connecting to a relay covering the Jubillar home on the night of 15–16 December 2020 and alleged that the related police telecom report is missing from the case file.
  • Lawyers for the civil parties countered that the lover’s line connected at his home and cast the new claim as a false lead, with the court considering whether to re-hear investigators or an expert on the data.
  • The day also featured planned testimony from neighbors about reported nighttime cries and from a gendarme who took the couple’s son’s statement, with further witnesses and experts scheduled this week.
  • Cédric Jubillar maintains his innocence in this no‑body, circumstantial case, faces a potential life sentence, is expected to be interrogated at the end of the week, and a verdict is scheduled for 17 October.
