Jubillar Trial Reaches Midpoint With Disputed ‘Screams’ Testimony Ahead

Disputed witness accounts now anchor the case ahead of neighbours who report hearing cries.

Overview

  • Two weeks in, the prosecution still has no body, no decisive physical evidence and no confession, while the defence has chipped away at several investigative points presented as incriminating.
  • An assistant childminder testified that Cédric Jubillar once claimed he would have hidden a victim better than Jonathann Daval, a remark he denied in court as a lie.
  • The court heard a recording made by Delphine’s cousin 33 hours after her disappearance in which Cédric spoke about his wife in the past tense, a detail whose significance remains contested.
  • Monday’s session is set to hear Delphine’s lover and present son Louis’s audition, with two neighbours expected to recount reported cries from the night of the disappearance as the defence targets their timing and plausibility.
  • Digital traces show both spouses used dating apps in 2020, illustrating a relationship in rupture that shapes the competing narratives presented to jurors.
