Cédric Jubillar admitted to killing his wife Delphine Aussaguel, who disappeared in late 2020 in the Tarn department in southern France. The confession came in a letter addressed to his lawyers after nearly six years of denying any involvement in her death. Le Figaro ↗
According to available information, Jubillar stated in the letter that he killed Delphine after another argument. The case became known in France as the "murder without a body," since the woman's body has still not been found. One source states that Jubillar also admitted to burying her near their home in Cagnac-les-Mines, near Toulouse. France24 ↗
The confession was announced by his lawyers on Monday, July 6, 2026. In October 2025, Jubillar was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his wife's murder, having maintained his innocence up until now. The change in his defense comes about two months before the planned appeal trial. Le Figaro ↗
The defense also indicated that the September date for the appeal proceedings may now be problematic following the confession. According to reports, Jubillar has stated that he is prepared to provide information about the location where he hid his wife's body. This development could lead to new investigative steps and change the course of further proceedings. Le Monde ↗
