Added 2025-08-30 07:03:12 +0000 UTCWhen school friends Jessica Wongso and Mirna Salihin caught up for coffee in Jakarta’s upscale Olivier Cafe in January 2016, it was supposed to be a friendly get-together. Then, moments after taking a sip from her Vietnamese iced coffee, Mirna collapsed and died. What unravelled was one of Indonesia’s most controversial murder trials, with the question on everyone's lips - did Jessica Wongso poison Mirna with cyanide?

This case was absolutely nuts. I still have no idea what exactly went down, but I'm not wholly convinced it is enough to convict someone. Perhaps the Indonesian justice system feels the same, after all, they let her out on parole very early even though she maintains her innocence.

Who acts like that if they're not guilty of something??
