The lawyers of Cédric Jubillar, suspected of having killed his wife, unveiled a new argument on Tuesday to demand his release: they hypothesized that Delphine Jubillar could have left the home on her own, the evening of his disappearance.
This possibility goes against the thesis of the investigators, who believe that the husband killed Delphine Jubillar during an argument, in their house in Cagnac-les-Mines, after having read an SMS from his wife's lover. on his phone.
"There are objective elements in the file which allow us to consider that it is more than likely that she changed to get out" of the house, said Emmanuelle Franck, one of Cédric Jubillar's lawyers, after his pleading before the investigative chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal.

For this new request for release, the hearing took place in the absence of this 34-year-old plaster painter, and behind closed doors, at the request of the public prosecutor's office, against the advice of the defense lawyers. .
The same was true of the previous release request, which was rejected in November, while a first request met the same fate in September.
For justice, concordant clues allow to conclude to the implication of the husband in the disappearance of the nurse of Cagnac-les-Mines, near Albi, on December 15, 2020. “The elements of the accusation have not never been conclusive and this since the first day ”, insisted Jean-Baptiste Alary, also counsel to Cédric Jubillar after a hearing which lasted nearly five hours.
Deliberated Friday
This request for release comes after a second hearing of several hours carried out on December 3, and after the placement in police custody for "concealing a corpse", in December, of the new companion of Cédric Jubillar, who had been released without be indicted.
The general prosecutor's office requested that he be kept in detention.
"Even if a person disputes the facts, a court may find that there is, in the file, enough elements to decide on continued detention", underlines the Toulouse prosecutor Samuel Vuelta Simon.
The decision of the investigating chamber was put under advisement on January 14.
According to his lawyers, Cédric Jubillar will be heard again at the beginning of February concerning the accusations brought by one of his cell neighbors: Delphine's husband would have confided to him that he killed his wife and buried her body, indicating to her a place in particular .
"It is a non-information, a manipulation, an organized staging, as if by chance, on the anniversary of the disappearance of Delphine", pointed out Me Martin, irritated.
For Me Alary, if the lead was credible, it would have already led to the resolution of the investigation: "If it is serious, why we did not find the body?
"
Laurent Boguet, the lawyer for the children of the Jubillar couple, civil party, considered after the hearing that it was necessary "to leave room for investigative acts carried out by the justice system."
The requests made by Cédric Jubillar appear premature ”.
Since his indictment for intentional homicide on June 18, Cédric Jubillar has been held in solitary confinement at the Seysses remand center, near Toulouse.
