Cédric Jubillar confesses to wife's murder, offers to reveal body's location

Cédric Jubillar has confessed to the murder of his wife, Delphine, who disappeared from their home in Cagnac-les-Mines, Tarn, in December 2020. Jubillar has expressed his willingness to reveal where he hid her body, according to his lawyer, Pierre Debuisson.

Debuisson told La Dépêche du Midi that Jubillar confessed with relief and wishes to provide a burial for the mother of his two children. The painter-plasterer plans to share more details with the justice system when he is questioned. In a letter to his lawyer, Jubillar mentioned a dispute but did not specify the circumstances.

Meanwhile, renowned criminal lawyer Frank Berton will not defend Jubillar in the upcoming appeal trial. Berton confirmed his withdrawal from the defense team. Another lawyer for Jubillar, Pierre Debuisson, explained that Jubillar sent Berton a letter stating he no longer wished for him to be his lawyer. Jubillar was concerned about Berton's potential absence during the entire appeal trial and preferred not to take that risk.

The case has garnered significant public attention, with numerous books, documentaries, and media frenzies surrounding the trial. The disappearance of Delphine Jubillar, a 33-year-old nurse, has captivated the nation, leading to intense speculation and public fascination.
