About this listen
It was January 6th, 2016, in one of Jakarta’s most upscale cafés, three young women gathered for a casual afternoon coffee.
Among them was Jessica Wongso, returning to Indonesia for a holiday from Sydney, Australia, where she had lived and worked since the age of 16. She was keen to reconnect with her former best friend, Mirna Salihin. The two had fallen out the year before, but now, over coffee, it seemed like a chance to reconcile.
Jessica arrived early. As any thoughtful friend might do, she ordered Mirna’s drink, an iced Vietnamese coffee, while waiting.
But when Mirna arrived and took just one sip, the mood shifted in an instant. Her body convulsed. She began foaming at the mouth. Within minutes, she was in and out of consciousness. And within an hour… Mirna Salihin was dead.
