The police held on Friday the third reconstruction of Wayan Mirna Salihin's death at a restaurant in Grand Indonesia, Central Jakarta, where she met up with two friends ' Jessica Kumala Wongso and Hani ' on Jan. 6 before she died as a result of drinking cyanide-laced coffee.
The reconstruction, which was part of the scene investigation, was held to learn the process of the making of the iced coffee thought to have caused Mirna's death, said Jakarta Police general crimes director Sr. Comr. Krishna Murti in Jakarta on Friday.
'The reconstruction is being held to learn about the making of the coffee from the beginning to when it was served on the table,' Krishna said as reported by kompas.com.
The process that was reconstructed included how the barista opened the coffee packet, how the coffee was made and the condition of the ice that was added to the coffee.
The police have not named a suspect. They have paid intense attention to Jessica, searching her house and questioning her several times.
Jessica visited the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) office on Wednesday. She told a Komnas HAM commissioner that she was being treated like a suspect in the investigation. Her lawyer also complained about 'unfair' media reports about Jessica.
Krishna said that from Thursday until early Friday, the police had questioned a number of Olivier employees to learn about the coffee-making process. 'The questioning of Olivier workers was conducted until 2:30 a.m. on Friday,' he said, adding that seven workers were questioned.
The case dossier has been handed to the prosecutor's office.
Besides Jessica, the police also questioned Hani 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. (bbn)(+)
