– Murder
suspect Jessica Kumala Wongso celebrated her 28th birthday on Sunday in East
Jakarta detention center.
Dozens of
well-wishers attempted to visit Jessica, who is accused of killing her friend
Wayan Mirna Salihin, but only a few visitors were allowed to enter the
detention center, including her mother, Imelda Wongso, her lawyer Hidayat
Boestam and four friends.
Hidayat said the
visitors took birthday cake, tumpeng rice, prayer books and a rosary, and other
gifts for Jessica.
“There was no
candle-blowing ceremony. There was also no special request from Jessica to her
mother,” Hidayat said as reported by tribunnews.com.
Maria Elska, one of
the visitors expressed her belief that Jessica is innocent “Don’t force Jessica
to admit to something that she did not do,” she added.
Prosecutors have
demanded the judges at Central Jakarta District Court sentence her to 20 years
in prison. On Friday, Jessica lawyers will read their defense.
Mirna died on Jan. 6
on her way to hospital from a restaurant in Central Jakarta after sharing a
table with Jessica and another friend. Jessica is accused of lacing Mirna’s
coffee with cyanide.***
