IRCGN Identifies Bones as Delphine Aussaguel’s After Husband’s Confession

Overview

• Investigators say Cédric Jubillar acknowledged responsibility in early July and on July 15 guided gendarmes to a field near Mailhoc where bone fragments were recovered.
• IRCGN forensic tests confirmed on Sunday that the remains found in the Tarn—including two femurs—belong to Delphine Aussaguel.
• The Cour d'appel de Toulouse decided on July 21 to postpone Jubillar’s appeal from September to the first semester of 2027 to allow new expert work and preserve the rights of all parties.
• Probes now focus on determining the cause and manner of death, locating any additional remains, and analysing telephony and GPS data that may bear on possible prior reconnaissance or premeditation.
• The confirmation ends six years of uncertainty over Delphine’s whereabouts, gives relatives some factual closure, and will shape further psychiatric, forensic and procedural steps before the rescheduled trial.
