Premium Episode #38 - Mirna Salihin
🕑 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.

Jessica behaved *so* suspiciously: checking out the CCTV cameras, placing the bags on the table to hide whatever she was doing, overly calm during and after Mirna foaming and seizing, mentioning cyanide to Mirna's sister, (possibly) trying to leave the country shortly after the incident...and more even. Who acts like that if they're not guilty of something??
