span class="inline inline-center">
The police plan to submit the case dossier of Jessica Kumala Wongso, a suspect of premeditated murder of Wayan Mirna Salihin, to the Jakarta prosecutor's office next week.
Police investigators were still busy completing the dossier, which, among other things, would contain the investigation report, expert assessments, reports on crime scene reconstructions and on pieces of evidences, Jakarta Police general crimes chief Sr. Comr. Krishna Murti told journalists on Thursday.
"We are making a summary of the dossier. We will note crucial points of the case and analyze them," he added.
Jakarta Police has also submitted an application to extend the detention of Jessica for another 20 days to the prosecutors' office.
Jessica, who shared a table with Mirna and Hani at Olivier café in Central Jakarta during the incident, is suspected of pouring cyanide into the iced coffee drunk by Mirna, who died on her way to hospital after consuming the coffee.
Jessica has denied allegations of being involved in the death of her friend. The police claim to have strong enough evidence to name her a suspect but have not revealed any motive for the alleged murder.
'The police are not required to reveal the motive; instead the police are only required to describe the elements of the criminal act,' Krishna added. (bbn)(+)
