Police investigators and prosecutors met for second time on Friday to discuss the case of the Wayan Mirda Salihin's death, following their first meeting on Tuesday at the Jakarta Prosecutor's Office.
Police believed Mirna died because of cyanide-tainted coffee she drank when she was at Olivier Café, in Central Jakarta together with her two friends ' Jessica Kumala Wongso and Hani ' on Jan. 6.
The prosecutors have given advice to the police so they can build a strong case and gather solid documentation before the case is officially transferred to the prosecutor's office, said Jakarta Prosecutor's Office spokesman Waluyo in Jakarta on Friday.
'The point is, we want to arrange the facts that have been obtained by the police," Waluyo told journalists.
Police have questioned Jessica, Hani, Olivier Café's workers and relatives of Mirna. They also sought the help of the Australian Federal Police to obtain information about Mirna when she lived in the country.
Waluyo stressed that his office had not received the case dossier from the police as it was not yet complete and a suspect was yet to be named at the time of the meeting.
Separately, Jakarta Police general crime division head Sr. Comr. Krishna Murti said investigators had received valuable advice from the prosecutor's office.
'We will follow up the prosecutors' suggestions to improve our investigations," Krishna said. (bbn)
