France has been transferred through a court -free trial

The French murder process, which opened on Monday, transferred the public because of the mystery at its core: Where is the victim’s body?

Cedric Dzhubilar, a 38-year-old decorist artist, has been accused of killing his wife Dolphin nearly five years ago in a fit of jealous rage.

He has always denied the allegations and, in addition to indirect evidence, investigators have fought to create a case. No body, no blood, recognition and no witness.

With its unexplained central fact and the cast of characters from the small town of southern France, the affair has become a sensation in social media.

Smoke investigators have set up countless chat groups, where they exchange theories and share indications, a lot about annoying police and families.

“These groups are the equivalent of the bistro counter – but with more people,” says psychoanalyst Patrick Avran, author of a book about crime attitudes.

“Everyone constructs the theory that fits him best.”

Jubillar’s mystery began in the midst of Covid Lockdown when – in the early hours of December 16, 2020 – Cedric Jubilar contacted gendarmes to announce that his wife had disappeared.

Dolphin, who was 33 years old at the time, was a night nurse at a clinic, not far from their home in the Minans of Kanyak-Le in southwestern oxitania. The couple had two children, aged six and 18 months.

Police realized that the jubils had no happy relationships.

Cedric Dzhubilar was the usual cannabis user and barely kept a job. Dolphin was in contact with a man she had met online. He and Cedric were talking about divorce.

Police and locals conducted extensive environmental searches – with sunken, lowered in some of the discarded mining shafts with which the area is full.

Dolphin’s body has never been found, but a case was gradually built against her husband and in the middle of 2021 he was under investigation and detained.

The prosecutor’s office in the Albi trial will tell the court that Cedric Jubilar has had a clear motivation to kill his wife because of their upcoming division.

The lawyers will raise other points: Certain Strandy Actions on Cedric on the Night of disappearance; signs of battle, including a pair of broken glasses; A neighbor who heard a woman screaming.

Cedric Jubilar’s own character will be brought under the spotlight, with witnesses expected to speak of his threatening Dolphin language before she disappears, and his apparent lack of concern afterwards.

Two of his acquaintances – a former roommate and ex -girlfriend – will also repeat what they told the police: that Cedric admitted to the murder and told them where her body was.

But since no more digging has been found, the body is expected to raise doubts about the truth of the couple’s accounts.

In fact, the heart of Cedric Jubilar’s case is that there is nothing – beyond the popular opinion that he is the perfect culprit – to prove that he has given up with his wife. He has always protested his innocence.

The process is expected to last four weeks, with 65 witnesses being called 11 experts. More than 16,000 pages of evidence have been drawn up.

Explaining the grip of the case of the public mind, writer Tibo de Montaigu said in Le Figaro that he was like “Georges Simenon’s novel”, the creator of the fictional detective inspector Maigret.

In a long analysis of the case, he said that for all the circumstantial evidence against Cedric Dzhubilar, the central question was this: how “Red -haired, blurry Motz, who smoked ten joints a day, could commit the perfect crime?

“Killing her wife without leaving the smallest trace; secret transportation of her body, burying her in the immediate place, then returns to tell the police – all until his two children slept quietly in their bedrooms.

“And it was a man who congratulated the cops in Panda Panda and then played Game of Thrones on his phone in the very morning of disappearance.

“So: Genius Bluffer; lucky fool; or poor innocent?”

The court will decide.
