Justice confirmed on Monday July 4 the continued detention of Cédric Jubillar, suspected of having killed his wife Delphine, who disappeared at the end of 2020 in the Tarn, said the lawyers for this painter.
The investigation chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal followed the Advocate General who had requested on June 28 the continued detention of this 34-year-old man who claims to be innocent, during a hearing behind closed doors. .
Emmanuelle Franck, one of the defense lawyers who had once again requested the release of her client, denounced on Monday "
the stubbornness of justice which can only lead to disaster
".
The defense continues its “fight”
According to another lawyer for Cédric Jubillar, Jean-Baptiste Alary, the arguments of the investigating chamber to keep his client in detention are "
always the same
".
This is in particular to avoid possible pressure on witnesses or the disappearance of evidence, said Mr. Alary, regretting that the investigating chamber “
does not specify what evidence
” it is.
The defense lawyers intend to continue their "
fight
" to obtain the release of their client whose file would be "
empty
".
For their part, the investigators, in the absence of irrefutable evidence, continue to put forward "
a body of serious and consistent evidence
" against Cédric Jubillar.
A judge of freedoms and detention (JLD) had extended the detention of the main suspect on June 13 by six months, initially scheduled for one year until June 18.
He had been indicted for intentional homicide in June 2021 and imprisoned, in solitary confinement, in the Seysses remand center, near Toulouse.

Delphine Jubillar, a nurse in a clinic in Albi, then aged 33, was last seen on the evening of December 15, 2020, in her home in Cagnac-les-Mines, the village near Albi where she lived with her husband and two children.
Even if he claims his innocence, highlighting the absence of a crime scene or irrefutable proof, Cédric Jubillar quickly became the main suspect for the investigators.
