urder suspect Jessica Kumala Wongso, 27, has undergone six days of psychiatric examinations at the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital in Central Jakarta.

Jessica'€™s lawyer Andi Yusuf said she had been examined by no fewer than 20 doctors as part of the investigation into the murder of Jessica'€™s friend, Wayan Mirna Salihin, who died after consuming a cyanide-laced coffee.

'€œIt'€™s not over yet, the process takes a long time. At least five days, but 15 days at the longest,'€ Andi said on Tuesday, as quoted by tribunnews.com. Andi said the 20 doctors were from the hospital'€™s psychiatric team.

He said the examinations were conducted because the police had found Jessica to show some '€œoddities'€.

Andi said he did not accompany Jessica while she was being examined.
