Jessica Essays

On January 2016, there was a homicide in Olivier café, Grand Indonesia in Jakarta. The victim, Wayan Mirna Salihin took her last gasp of breath at around 5 p.m. in front of her two friends. This was due to cyanide poisoning on her Vietnamese coffee. Despite only circumstantial evidence indicating the involvement of one of her friends, Jessica Kumala Wongso led this case to court. The trial has been going on for 4 months and the court hasn’t decided yet whether she is guilty or innocent. However, I believe that Jessica is the girl behind this.

To start of, Jessica has up to 14 items in total on her Australian criminal records. On August 2016, she crashed her car into Sydney’s Nursing Home. Police said that it was due to drinking. Moreover, her boss in New South Wales Ambulance, Kristie Carter said that from her attitude of hatred and nature of craziness, she has no doubt that she could kill another person. Once, Jessica said to her that if she wanted to kill, she already knows the exact dose of poison needed to kill someone. This shows how shrewd she is on killing people and act like she wasn’t. Therefore, criminal records can be seen as one of the aspects she is guilty.

Afterwards, Jessica is also said to be having mental illness. She was hospitalized in Australia for five times last year after attempting to commit suicide. Depression could be the cause as it is a common mental health problem worldwide. Jessica once asked Mirna for advice. But, it did not end well as Mirna gave advice that might seem negative from Jessica’s perspective. As a result, Jessica got up from her chair and left. This kind of act is not normal especially to a best friend that gives her a promising advice. This can also be seen as a vengeance from Jessica to Mirna of disfiguring her boyfriend by killing her directly. Other than that, when Mirna had lost consciousness, Jessica neither cried nor panic, which might seem weird for a best friend not to cry when her soul mate died. Thus, her mental illness can cause her to face the prison or death penalty.

In addition to the aspects, Jessica’s suspicious movements and responds could also be the reason why she is guilty. She arrived at Olivier café an hour early at 3:30 p.m. Jessica was recorded by CCTV camera to be examining the seating. After a short while, she left the cafe and went to a Bath and Body Works shop to buy her friends presents. After she returned, she deliberately obscured the CCTV’s view with 3 large shopping bags, which were placed on the table side by side. People with no intention of something would not do that. Also, she ordered the drinks before her friends arrived, which means that she was with the drinks the whole time. CCTV’s footage showed that the drinks were on the table for about 52 minutes. It also showed that there were movements of the coffee. If that wasn’t hers, then why did she even move it? Hence, her own actions made her to be in this position.

So,
