Man Confesses From Jail to Killing Wife, Says He Will Reveal Location of Body in Case that Shocked France
- On Monday, Cedric Jubillar confessed from his jail cell to killing his wife, Delphine Jubillar, in December 2020. His lawyer, Pierre Debuisson, said Jubillar promised to lead investigators to where he disposed of her remains.
- Jubillar was convicted last year and sentenced to 30 years in prison for the murder, despite maintaining his innocence throughout the trial. The jury relied on circumstantial evidence, as Delphine's body was never found.
- Debuisson said Jubillar admitted he killed Delphine "after yet another marital row" at their home. He used his car to move the body on the night of her death, the lawyer added.
- Malika Chmani, lawyer for the couple's two children, said, "We are relieved for the children." His legal team believes the September appeal trial will be postponed for re-interrogation and body searches.
- Authorities are expected to renew search efforts in the Tarn department following previous unsuccessful sweeps of the surrounding countryside. This cooperation offers hope investigators can finally provide closure and a proper burial for Delphine.
