Jubillar case: husband of Delphine admits to homicide in letter to his lawyer
Cédric Jubillar has finally admitted his responsibility in the death of his wife. This admission appears in a handwritten letter sent to his counsel, made public by La Dépêche du Midi and reported by franceinfo.
Delphine Jubillar, a 33-year-old healthcare professional, disappeared during the night of 15–16 December 2020 in Cagnac-les-Mines, a commune in the Tarn department. For nearly six years, the location of her remains has remained unknown. Her husband, who had previously denied any involvement, changed his position by writing this document.
The small town of 2,600 residents, profoundly affected by this tragedy, learned of this development on 7 July. Those close to the missing woman and neighbours now share the hope of fully clarifying this mystery and ending the fruitless searches.
A resident of Albi named Jérémy devotes part of his days to searching the woodland around the former marital home. He visits four times a week. He described this announcement as a major shock. He had feared that this disappearance would become an unsolved case in the absence of a body and a confession.
The defendant was found guilty in 2025 and sentenced to thirty years of criminal detention. An appeal hearing was scheduled for September. This admission could influence the course of these proceedings and guide investigators towards the exact location where the deceased may have been buried.
The residents hope to close this painful chapter that has kept the entire area in doubt and anxiety for several years.
