In this episode, we dive into one of Indonesia’s most sensational and hotly debated criminal cases — the death of Wayan Mirna Salihin, who collapsed after sipping an iced coffee in a Jakarta café in 2016. What followed was a media frenzy, a forensic puzzle, and a courtroom drama that gripped an entire nation.

We explore:

• The toxicology findings and the investigation that pointed to cyanide
• Police theories, motive debates, and the intense scrutiny aimed at Jessica Kumala Wongso
