Overview

• The assize trial opened Monday in Albi with Cédric Jubillar charged with murdering his wife Delphine, an offense punishable by life imprisonment.
• Jubillar arrived around 8:20 a.m. under escort and, after the jury was constituted, consented to be filmed in the glass dock.
• Hearings are scheduled over about four weeks with 65 witnesses and 11 experts, with a verdict expected on October 17.
• An ex‑companion identified as Jennifer/Jennyfer told RTL he repeatedly said “I strangled her” and described how he did it, allegations she is set to recount in court.
• Jubillar denies killing his wife and the defense argues the file lacks material proof, while ex‑companion Séverine L. has decided to join the case as a civil party.
