ALBI, France: A Frenchman whose wife disappeared during the Covid-19 pandemic and whose body was never found was sentenced to 30 years in prison Friday for murdering her, in a case that has gripped France.
Cedric Jubillar, a 38-year-old painter and plasterer, had said he had done “absolutely nothing” to his wife, Delphine, whose body has never been found since she went missing in rural southern France in December 2020.
The sentence matched the prosecutors’ request for the man, who has been in detention since 2021. Jubillar’s lawyers said he would appeal.
