F
ootage showing the last two minutes of Wayan Mirna Salihin's life after drinking the fatal glass of Vietnamese coffee has been shown by a digital forensic expert at the trial of murder suspect Jessica Kumala Wongso.
The footage of the Jan. 6. incident at the Central Jakarta café was played by Digital forensic expert Adj. Sr. Comr. Mohammad Nuh Al-Azhar at a Central Jakarta District Court hearing on Wednesday. In the footage Jessica is seen at 4.23 p.m. changing her sitting position from the edge to the center of the bench, allegedly to avoid being seen by the CCTV. At 5.03 p.m., Jessica can be seen moving her position again to the edge of bench.
She waited for her friends Mirna and Juwita Boon, alias Hani, who arrived at 5.18 p.m. Mirna sat in the center of the bench, with Jessica on her left and Hani on her right.
"After sitting, Mirna moved the glass near her and mixed the coffee with a straw that had been put in the glass. Judging from the pixel movement, she seems to open the straw cover before stirring it," Nuh said.
After drinking the coffee, Mirna seemed to close her nose and mouth with her hand and waggle her hand.
At 5.19 p.m., Hani moved Mirna's glass near to her mouth and nose. At 5.20 p.m. Mirna is seen lying on the cafe bench, slowly losing consciousness.
In the 56 minutes from the coffee being served by the waiter until it was drank by Mirna, Jessica did not leave the table. "No one seemed to be accompanying her at the table. The coffee was totally under her 'authority'," Nuh said. (bbn)
