Jubillar Trial: Mother Recalls Death Threats as Inmates Give Conflicting Accounts

Jurors face a credibility test in a no‑body case driven by testimony rather than conclusive forensic evidence.

Overview

  • On Oct. 8, Nadine Jubillar told the Albi assize court her son said weeks before Delphine vanished that he would kill her, bury her and ensure no one found her.
  • Former cellmate “Marco” reiterated that Cédric Jubillar confessed in 2021 to having gotten rid of the body and mentioned a knife and a borrowed car used to hide it.
  • Multiple other detainees contradicted Marco, saying they heard no confession and describing him as unreliable, though one inmate claimed the accused boasted of a “perfect crime.”
  • Investigators reported that searches at the burned‑farm site named by Marco produced no trace, and the defendant said any such remarks were jokes or anger, not admissions.
  • The court is set to hear ex‑partners Séverine and Jennifer on Oct. 9, with Jennifer having said she received admissions during prison visits, as officials debunk AI‑generated TikTok videos falsely claiming a body was found or guilt decided.
