They had not seen each other for many months. “It’s been more than a year already,” she confides, in the room of the lost steps of the Toulouse Court of Appeal. Severine was “passing through Toulouse”, this Tuesday, June 28, 2022, and, without telling him, she came “to support” her (ex?) lover, Cedric Jubillar.
A shy and childish smile
A few moments before entering the courtroom where the extension of his pre-trial detention is to be debated, she asks the few journalists present: “Do you know if he is going to be extracted? Will I be able to see it? “. She enters. And the face of the architect of his wife’s murder lights up with a smile that is at once incredulous, shy and childish, through the glass box in which he is seated.
A little nod to the forty-year-old, whose raised glasses hold back her wavy hair. A hand strays over his goatee (always so impressive) to ask him, by mime, if he likes it.
“He looks tired but I expected worse”
The young woman finds that he has changed. “He told me he was happy to see me, a I love you, asked me if I was okay. He made me understand that he is holding up. He has looking a bit tired, but I expected worse. I told him that he had a rather long goatee, he replied that he did not have no mirror…”.
The magistrates who wait while waiting for the lawyers all wear an FFP2 mask. “A cluster in progress at the chamber of instruction”, explains the president. The staring game continues in the room. ” It’s disturbing. It’s nice to see him anyway. He didn’t expect it at all, I didn’t even know I was going to come to Toulouse… His smiles are touching. What else to say? I don’t know any more than everyone else. Since December, I took a step back. I said to myself: ‘I’m going to come and see him’. It will perk him up a bit. Now we just have to wait”.
The young woman prefers to keep her feelings about the case to herself:
“I needed to see him to look into his eyes. Seeing him, I tell myself that it’s not him [qui a tué sa femme]. Looks like a little baby. I wish it wasn’t him. Especially for his children. But I don’t think it will come out. They’re going to keep it for six more months while they do some research. I don’t know what happened [concernant cette affaire]. But we have to find Delphine”.
‘He hasn’t seen a familiar face in a year’
“For now, I have taken a step back [dans notre relation]. I prefer to be careful what I say because afterwards, on the networks, it fuses. I’m not there, I came out of all the groups. People have hatred in them. It is Free mechanics. It had an impact on my daily life. My life will never be the same again. Above all, I try to protect my children”.
Cédric’s extension of pre-trial detention examined
The investigation chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal declared the closed session. She is currently examining the request for the release of Cédric Jubillar, whose freedoms judge recently pronounced the extension of 6 months of his provisional. The decision was reserved for Monday, July 4.
Why is she here today? “I came to perk him up a bit. He hasn’t seen a familiar face for a year. I’m the only one he must have seen since he got back. His dear brother supports him and also writes to him”. Séverine always corresponds with him by mail. “I hadn’t received anything for a while, before the last week. Maybe a dozen letters in all since December, with breaks. There is even a time when I sent him a money order for 1.08 euros. So that he buys a stamp and writes to me,” she smiles.
She carried out “every day (s) in the mailbox”
His passage through the hut jail, in December 2021, for “complicity in concealment of a corpse” (from which she emerged free and white, editor’s note), experienced the young woman. “The gendarmes thought that Cédric had confided in me on the pillow, This was not the case “. As for the fellow prisoner’s accusations, the the famous Marcoshe doesn’t even want to talk about it.
Séverine may have missed her feelings on break, she confides “check her mailbox every day”. What do they say to each other in these letters? “Their content must remain intimate. It’s between me and him. I try to get away, I protect myself. Corn if he needs me, I am there”. In the box, the enamored and grateful looks of Cédric Jubillar retain all their intensity.
