Lesson I learned from this. Never go out with estranged toxic friends after you've cut them from your life. Rest in peace Mirna, you deserved so much more than this.
@@AVspectre the thing is, this kind of case never happened in Indonesia. So people doesn't have that thought in the back of their mind to "protect" themself from a scenario like this you know.
@@AVspectre the thing is here we're used to friends ordering something for us before we arrived. Yeah we kinda take positive thinking too seriously. Really need to be more careful even with 'friends'.
But they probably would simply have thrown out the leftover drinks at Jessica's table, after they left, as cafes normally do - if it wasn't for Jessica accusing the staff of putting something in the coffee. That's what made them keep Mirna's coffee. After all, they were being accused of wrongdoing so they would want to clear their name. If Jessica hadn't said anything, the staff would never have thought to keep Mirna's coffee.
Similar case happened with milktea in the Philippines, but the owner who made the drink died because he tasted it. His son went to the shop before and after the incident to "put and clean" something. No one was jailed for the owner's death and a woman who is a customer.
My dumbass thought the fatal ingredient was some kind of detergent (because of the Bed, Bath, & Beyond bags). Nope, just regular ol’ shopping bags with plain ol’ poison hidden in one of them.
if she hadn't accused the shop of tampering with her drink they probably wouldn't have thought to keep the cup. so good on them for being attentive and protecting themselves.
id say if it was lost, itd have been dumped accidentally by a staff member after she was taken to hospital, but theyd have to be absolute idiots to not suspect poison ingestion from her coffee. but yeah, in the case that they couldnt test the actual coffee she drank, she may have scraped by due to lack of evidence.
Adrien, thank you for reporting on this cyanide murder incident. I happened to be at the scene of the incident. I was having a nice dinner with my friends and I clearly remember how panicked and chaotic everyone was. a few days later, the police came to my house and asked me if I was involved or not. The news shook the entire country, and it became a year-round hot topic for many people. (sorry if my english had some errors, english is not my mother tongue)
@Barbie Blues initially everyone was suspecting on agus (the waiter) if he had some sort of connivance or something like that. Afterward, he testified in court, and his testimony was found to be plausible bcs it was supported by alibis that aligned those of other eyewitness accounts, so he pleaded not guilty and his status was changed to witness
Seeing how devastated her husband was was so painful. No one deserves their life cut short over such bitterness, or to lose a loved one over a jealous friend. She had her entire life ahead of her & I liked the part of the video where you described her personality & used footage from Mirna & her husband’s wedding. She deserves to be remembered as lively & blessed as she was. My heart goes out to her family.
It's heartbreaking. He must feel so much guilt for thinking she would be safe meeting Jessica with a friend. He probably wishes every day he told her not to go. He lost his wife forever & Jessica only loses 20 yrs.
A friend of mine was considering going to meet an ex at their old hangout spot beneath a small bridge. I repeatedly warned her it was a bad idea, and that she should meet him in a more public space, and that talking wouldn’t solve or help anything anyways. However, she went and was assaulted. He tried to pull her pants off and rip her shirt. She kicked him in the balls, and ran the entire way to her house when he let go. It is extremely dangerous to keep someone so jealous, unstable, and generally uncaring in your life. Please. Anyone who thinks they shouldn’t be with whoever they are with because of signs like these, PLEASE take the step to leave and save yourself the trouble. You are worth it. Your life is the most important thing in the world, no one else can be you. No one else sees the world you see, don’t let some attractive person distract you from that.
My wife personally was friends with Mirna’s parents. Mirna’s parents had to fight to get Jessica to trial. I don’t remember the specifics, but I believe that both families were wealthy. In the nation of Indonesia, money talks more so than in First World nations.
The victim's parents will never know the true cause of their daughter's death and this is because of their immense stupidity - they did not accept the autopsy - the Middle Ages people - it´s all about religion
All evidence was later today found to be forgery and modified, there are no strong evidence that Jessica was the murderer, cyanide was only found on a small amount inside mirna's stomach and cctv video was edited and brought before the trial so sad for Indonesian law enforcer who had orchestrated this case for public performance
It is very clear that Jessica is jealous of Mirna. Mirna was beautiful, have a seemingly successful life, and had a happy life with her husband. It’s scary what someone can do out of hatred and jealousy. So sad, Rest In Peace Mirna-you were loved.
20year short? Here in sweden she would have gotten 11 year and getting out after 6 and living a good life in prison with good food and Nice bed🙄 swedish jails senteces is a joke
I’m from Indonesia and this case was huge, the whole nation was talking about this. I was kinda shocked to see this case on my favorite channel. Thank you Adrien for covering this case and thank you for explaining about Indonesia and Jakarta at the beginning of the video. Much love from Indonesia🇮🇩
She said she was shocked to see this case on his channel. And, you respond that she needs to look at the mass genocide Indonesia is committing. How does your statement have anything to do with hers?
@@fms6306 oook, but did we nuke two whole cities? Or commit a proven massacre and continued to deny it? Kill their own military officers over a simple suspicion, or send them to gulag? If you're trying to expose nations of their war crimes, don't do that here.
The grief etched on the face of her husband is gut-wrenching. You can literally feel the pain through the screen. I cannot conceive of such devastating loss. They had their entire lives ahead of them, and it was all taken away by someone who had absolutely no regard for human life. Evil lives among us...
Jessica comes across as a psychopath. She was methodical in the killing of Mirna and showed zero remorse for what she'd done. She almost looked proud of herself. Twenty years was nowhere near long enough.
Maybe the signature of a psychopath is the inability to comprehend that your actions will be catalogued against you! So often they seems to totally miss the fact that what they are doing is obvious to any observer! They think they are so clever when really they are so stupid!
@@bthomson I agree Jessica was a psychopath but she was clearly a very stupid one. Those psychotic killers who were never caught or were very hard to catch never killed anyone in public, or were never near the area when the killing began (the Unabomber for instance).
@@fc7307 The dead woman's sister said that Jessica was jealous. I think at front view, that does look like the case, however we don't know what was the issue between the two. Serial Killers are different because they often kill without a grudge, or they chose to take their grudge out on random, innocent people. To your knowledge, Did Jessica poison the other friend coffee cup too?
Indonesian here and I’m obsessed with this case! I’d like to share some things sourced from local TV and interviews: 1. An expert from Aussie has a theory that the cyanide was put somehow in the straw. That’s why Hani and the cafe manager that tried the drink was OK. Mirna had the most right away with the first sip. 2. In the girls’ whatsapp group, Jessica asked the other girls if there were any emergency clinic in Grand Indonesia (the mall), few days before the meeting. When confronted about this in court, she said she wanted to ask for vitamin D that she left in Aussie, and that the ones in regular shop were too upsetting in the stomach. I take D3 and that sounds ridiculous. That really says she planned everything. 3. Mirna’s dad said in a local talkshow that he didn’t know who Jess was. He said he knew well Mirna’s friends from Aussie (like Hani), would treat them with meals etc. and never he knew or saw Jess among them. Mirna’s twin also said pretty much the same, meaning they’re not that close, or, Mirna really tried to disconnect from her. 4. Court facts: when Mirna’s dad asked Hani and Jess what they drank, Jessica lied saying she only had water. While in fact she had 2 cocktails! And Hani didn’t drink anything because she didn’t respond to the chat when Jess asked what they’d like to order. Of course Jess could careless about Hani…It’s all about Mirna from the get go. Sorry for the long post LOL.
Love the additonal facts! However, although I know this is nitpicky, Aussie is the demonym and not used for the country. It's like saying, "An expert from Italian."
"I cannot accept this verdict, I feel that it is not fair" I would actually agree with Jessica, her sentence is not fair because she should have at least gotten life in prison.
Blame the Australian federal police for forcing the mildest possible sentence for Jessica over their agreement with Indonesian police in giving Jessica's history
My heart goes out to her husband, my God, I couldn't bear to see him so shattered. As for Jessica, 20years is a slap on the wrist for me, for a premeditated murder, it is just unacceptable. Mirna, may your soul rest in peace, and may God comfort your husband and family at large.
A case from my country, thanks for covering this case. No one deserves to be betrayed like this. I hope we're all surrounded by good people around us, especially the best friend that we trust the most.
It's really hard to find a friend that we can 100% trust these days. My best friend blackmailed me because I tried protecting him from his friends( whom he thought to be good)....he just told me to F**k off. Well, later he realized that I was right all along. He wants to be my friend, but I'm done with that.
Wow Lonelywhale. Hopefully a 20 year sentence does mean 20 years, unlike other countries where she would be out in 10. She's frightening. I have a feeling that she will just be even more angry and jealous once she is released. The victim's husband is truly distraught. What a lovely couple they were. It will take him a long time but I do hope that he can find happiness again.
@@IslandGirlKelly She appealed to the court in 2017, she also asked for a review of a court decision in 2018, but the Supreme Court rejected all the requests and she was still sentenced to 20 years in prison, but we all know that wasn't fair enough:(
I heard Mirna's father is working really hard to get her (Jessica) a death sentence or at least life in prison. The twin sister was also very upset and I pity her. Being twins, there's just an unspeakable bond between them for sure, I can't imagine her pain.
Imagine being a good friend and telling your idiot toxic friend to leave her loser boyfriend but then she gets so enraged she kills you years later. Absolutely crazy. Rest in peace Mirna.
I thought Jessica told Mirna to leave her boyfriend? Did I misunderstand? When Mirna went on to marry the boyfriend, she didn't invite Jessica to the wedding, which enraged Jessica. I thought Jessica was jealous of the boyfriend who would take Mirna away, plus of Mirna's successful life.
@@dovebair you misunderstood. 3:27 "Mirna told Jessica she didn't approve of her boyfriend and told her to leave him". This is the fight that basically ended their friendship.
@@tomhindley1584 Mirna seemed like a very kind and intelligent person. Why would she have told Jessica to leave him and that she didn't approve of their relationship? I suppose I am making an assumption but I think it's a pretty safe assumption.
Yeah but let’s be honest. Nobody should ever tell someone to leave their partner because they never will. People leave out of their own will, it should be adviced but not ordered, this is for others, it’s none of your business. However Jessica was so stupid and evil. RIP Mirna
@@gamingsaint8141 i mean there was this group of climbers that were taken hostage and they ended up pushing one of the hostage takers of a cliff. I think like in this situation your inoccent it was out of desperation and survival So it depends really on the what and why of the situation
She's never shown any remorse, she even smiled at the cameras after trials. No wonder the public hated her so much that the audience of the trial cheered after the judge announced the verdict.
@@aseeds7785 I think Jessica was always jealous of her. She’s married now things are different.. maybe they’re planning for a family soon. Priorities are husband/family first not friends. Plus her husband wasn’t very fond of her.
@UCPedRKBgl4CHtAJVToe3mVw he also said that while they were meeting in australia, mirna told jessica that she didnt approve of jessicas boyfriend at the time and told her to breakup, that made jessica also angry and she left mirna to pay the whole bill at the restaurant they met in
Meh crying like a Lil biatch in court ain't gonna bring her back. Plenty of fish in the sea. Just throw your rod and hope another 1 bite. No use sobbing about it.
I'm Indonesian and was in elementary school when this tragedy happened... I remembered EVERYONE talking about it. This case gripped the whole nation. It's the only thing anyone could talk about, and it's featured in every local news channel and talk show.
The short clip of Jessica absolutely enjoying being in the spotlight, as if the attention from the cameras were the paparazzi instead of the press, really says everything about her. 20 years isn't going to 'cure' this narcissistic sociopath. If anything, it just gives her more uninterrupted time to plot her revenge. Also, just wanted to say that 14:53 "Jessica seemed...emotionally constipated" made me spit out my own coffee. Thanks, Adrian.
This was such a disturbing case, the fact that Jessica knew exactly what would happen the moment Mirna took a sip of that coffee, less than 5 minutes and she lost her life, it gives me chills, especially seeing her head fall back in the footage- rest her soul and i hope her husband is doing well. Thank you for covering this, as respectfully as you always do. ✨🙇🏽
@@Cinedragon I'm just glad Mirna's other friend, Honey, didn't try it as stupid Jessica could had killed two people instead of just one. 20 years is way too short for a premeditated murder. She should had gotten life as Mirna lost her life so Jessica should had lost hers as well.
I loved the little break with the coffee tutorial, didn’t take away anything from the story and wasn’t harmful/offensive to the sad death of mirna. Truly an accomplishment found rarely on this platform. Hats off to you my friend.
I feel so bad for Sandy (I'm guessing on the spelling), Mirna's twin. I'm a twin myself and to lose my twin would be horrible. I dread the day that one of us will die, we've been close our whole lives. I get the impression Mirna and Sandy were also really close, and it made me a bit emotional to see how heartbroken she was after Mirna's death. I feel terrible for everyone that was in Mirna's life that had to lose her so suddenly.
Mirna definitely should have kept moving and not met back up with such a toxic "friend," bearing fatal toxins. Mirna failed to trust her gut all the way, and stay away for good. She took a friend with her, but obviously that wasn't anything that would have protected her from the poisoned coffee. Do not sit down with someone who might be an enemy. Obviously, it's hard to jump to the conclusion that somebody's going to kill you. But if they've already ordered drinks don't drink them! Insist on paying for a new round.
I don't think you should judge this cases in such a superficial matter. There are several factors and studies around it. For instance, in one hand there is the ideal of rehabilitation of the acussed, in the other, the ideal of neutralization of the danger held within the person. Than, there is the difference between the law and the legal system as a way for justice as people think, or just an instrument of social order, cause it's very difficulty to bring real justice in the real world, and set it apart from vengeance and sense of retribution that is never enough. At least, you have to think in the real victims. The society, and, specially, the family and friends of the deceased person. At first, you would want the most severe penalty for the agressor, because the penalty can't be light enough so it would stimmulaty individual and vengeanfull thoughts and actions, creating a circle of hated. But studies shows that the victims needs to couple with reality with time. And surprisingly, it's better to them to accept that tragic things happen and no sentence would return their loved one. In other words, a world where you kill and get killed brings little hope and capabilities for the person to move on. In the other hand, a world where someone kills and that's the way it is and still have to think about the humanity of the killers, gives incentive to the victims acceptance of the world good and bad, as a whole, giving them better chance to survive in a chaotic system and find peace. So.. You have to read and check the empiric data and always think about the big picture. Those judges, that have the burden to see families destroyed, and cruelty acts, doesn't do a relative light sentence for no reason. There are hundreds of hours in study of books, ideas, concepts and human psychological in it. At least here in Brazil.
Another thing, there are several studies that shows jail as a school of crime. In other worlds, you enter as a robber and go out as a killer, with a worst degree of criminal danger. So.. What do you do? Lock everybody for life? Then you created a system designed solely in the neutralization of the criminals. And it would represent a system that create poverty, Desi qualities, and than, punish people with less. If the system is unjustly, the people that commits unjustified acts are not aggressors, but victims, and the system as a whole must be on trial, as Mandela read and said. So.. If you can't lock someone for life, you have to lock them in the time necessary for the society and family to move on and recover within years, and with no guarantee, while thinking in the possibility of rehabilitation of the criminal. See how it's not so simple, and only based on how we feel and want? Because we humans only have simphaty for the ones we consider equals. And no one choose to do bad things for themselfs because they want to. It's a tough job to judge someone.
@@joaovcruz12 Tell this to the two 10-year-olds who killed a kid, got off, and are actually on protection programs with one going in and out of jail and bragging about what he has done and trying to do it again. And the mother getting trolled and blamed for letting her own child killed.
I don't really remember who told this probably her husband or her twin sister, but Mirna told them that she felt scared with Jessica and didn't want to meet her alone, so she brought Hani with her and I think this is an important sign of a victim that felt a danger coming to her way that people sometimes forget about it
Iyaa benar jauh sebelum itu mirna mau curhat ke hanni jg . Mungkin mau ceritain soal jessica tp cerita tsb blm sempet terjadi karena mirna skrg sudah meninggal .
This will definitely be difficult for you to understand because there are many strange things in Indonesian law. Please understand if English is difficult to understand because I use translate Here are the facts that I can explain: 1. Jessica arrived early to avoid the 3 in 1 (traffic jams in Jakarta are extraordinary) 2. They agreed to meet at 4, Jessica sent a juice menu to the group and Mirna replied that she liked Vietnamese iced coffee, then Jessica offered to buy it for her then the coffee came at 4.15. Mirna unexpectedly arrived late 3. The table was not chosen by Jessica, but by the cafe waitress 4. Jessica is not monitoring CCTV, but there she is looking for a waiter who guides her to make the payment first 5. When Mirna had a seizure and was referred to the nearest clinic, the victim's husband came to the location and did not allow the doctor to treat her first, he took Mirna to the hospital using a private car without an ambulance (this was very fatal) 6. 70 minutes after Mirna died, cyanide experts found no cyanide in Mirna's stomach and no symptoms of cyanide poisoning. However, 3 days after death and a sample was taken (not an autopsy), it was found to be 0.2 mlg/l (it was not fatal, it could have been due to decomposition of the corpse) 7. There is no evidence that Jessica put poison 8. There were no witnesses who saw Jessica put the poison. There is no evidence that Jessica possessed poison and purchased poison 9. Evidence that the coffee that Mirna drank was no longer original and the glass had been moved. 10. Many experts say that CCTV evidence is suspected to have been doctored. The CCTV was not taken from the DVR but from a flash disk directly and the video had been cut into pieces 11. 14 reports in Australia are not criminal cases. But it was a report of a lost wallet, his girlfriend's worries, his boss's worries and an accident 12. The rumor that Jessica threatened to kill her boss is a LIE, she never said anything like that. It is suspected that her boss didn't like Jessica because she left her job which made it difficult for her boss 13. The judge and public prosecutor at the trial always emphasized Jessica when giving testimony, even the expert witness at the trial from Jessica's attorney was shouted at in a high pitched voice. When Jessica was still being questioned she was forced to admit to an act she did not commit. If he admits he will only be sentenced to 7 years but will not be sentenced to death. It is suspected that they have engineered this case and are suspected of having been bribed by certain parties so that nothing will lighten Jessica's sentence. 14. Someone who previously worked on this case is in prison. This person had committed premeditated murder against his aide. he threatened the police that if he was sentenced to death he would expose the police's rottenness in the cyanide coffee case. (This is very odd, isn't it? It seems true that the coffee cyanide case was engineered) 15. There was a legal expert witness from the public prosecutor at the trial who was caught in a bribery case 16. The judge who sentenced Jessica violated the judge's code of ethics 17. The evidence submitted by Jessica's attorney to the judge and prosecutor that Jessica did not poison the coffee was not seen and was not considered at all by the public prosecutor 18. Jessica was proven guilty based only on the judge's assumptions and beliefs. 19. Mirna's family is thought to have spent a lot of money to cover the mouths of people who said Jessica was not the perpetrator 20. In Indonesia, no money, no justice, no viral, no justice, bribery is a very common thing. because people who don't have money can be made scapegoats or not be prosecuted 21. Jessica acts calm and unemotional because she doesn't want to see her mother sad, because if Jessica is seen crying in public her mother will cry too. Jessica's family is very closed to journalists. Basically, Jessica prioritized her family's feelings because at that time her father had undergone treatment 22. he was arrested at the hotel not because he was evading arrest. He avoided journalists who were always in front of Jessica's house which made it difficult for his family to buy food. After the Netflix documentary was broadcast, many officials threatened those who spoke about this case. There are officials who are trying to cover up this case and are trying to take down videos that discuss the irregularities in this case. This is very strange, why are they trying to cover it up so that this case won't be reopened? This may be strange to hear 🤣but in Indonesia many fortune tellers say Jessica is innocent and coffee is not poisonous. They said Mirna died of chronic stomach disease Now there are 3,800 lawyers who will help Jessica get justice pro-bono. "It is better to free 1000 guilty people than to convict 1 innocent person"
Sadly, 20 years is max cap for timed sentence in indonesia, because death penalty is out of option because for some reason Australia try to defend her (life sentence is also a option, but i think Australia don't want that either), this is probably the most harsh punishment she can get Unless she get another trial after she getting out and get 20 years sentence again, but i doubt it's possible, and even if it's possible, i doubt Australia would like it
The respect that you show to the victims, how you treat each case as a loss of human life and not just a interesting murder, is the reason I come back each week. The sensitivity you show has earned you respect. Good luck!!

You don't know my thoughts as I don't know yours, but weeb keyboard warriors like to make presumptions like you did
Scary knowing that if she hadn’t outright accused the staff of tampering and foul play, the coffee shop might not have kept the cup for evidence and might have simply dismissed the incident as the person’s own health problems.
Exactly! The hard evidence was the leftover coffee. Jessica shot herself in the foot there. I'm sure if she'd said nothing, and she and Hani had rushed Mirna out of the cafe to an ambulance, the cafe staff would have cleared their table, thrown out the coffee, and washed their cups, leaving behind no evidence. All the police would have had is the CCTV footage of Jessica acting suspiciously.
The sight of Mirna's husband broken and shattered and the bring treated to a photo of her murderer smiling like she just wrapped up her first movie. Is terrifying and undoubtedly nauseating. But here is the worst of it. Mirna cared enough to fly to another country to see her. Cared enough to say that she did not think Jessica should date this man. And for that.... she was killed. What a complete and utter disgusting motive Jessica had. RIP Mirna😭🙏🌷
how come theres no mentioned about the husband who took out the US$5 million life insurance on mirna ??? have you guys not done any research on this ?????
so chilling how she’s smiling in so much of the footage, it’s as if she doesn’t care about her friend in the slightest :/ also, I loved the coffee tutorial, I’ve just started working at a coffee shop so any refreshers are much appreciated :)
That's because she didn't care about her in the slightest. Her dysfunctional life, the self-destructive behavior, was a result of her dysfunctional interpretation of her own natural emotions. This kind of behavior often creates collateral damage, the result of caring for no one but yourself. She was jealous of Mirna because she believed that Mirna was everything she wanted to be. A dysfunctional interpretation of the natural emotion we call jealousy, is envy. Being jealous of someone is something everyone experiences, and it's important for our mental health. It's only when we try to repress those emotions by continuously reinforcing the idea that it's "bad" or "wrong" to be jealous, the divide between our emotions and the way we act on them, becomes a battlefield. Instead of finding ways to express those emotions, we shove them aside and never deal with them or try to understand why we're feeling that way. Because jealousy is natural, the emotion will always reoccur, and over time, we try harder and harder to push it aside. As the pressure grows, we'll become more and more desperate to hide from it, and will use things like drugs and alcohol. The consequences from doing those things have a snowball effect, and before long, there is no way to stop it from rolling further downhill and it all climaxes in a very destructive event, like driving into a nursing home because you're drunk. Sorry for the novel, I guess I just feel strongly about it all 😂
@@informanti jealousy is always “wrong”, what are you talking about? In what situation/context would jealousy NOT be wrong? While having the emotion is natural, it is a bad emotion. It shouldn’t be ignored, but don’t make it seem like it’s not always a bad thing to have
I'm an Indonesian, and at the time was working at a building near Grand Indonesia, thus would visit this cafe sometimes. I remember this case rocked the very core of the nation, due to the sophisticated and premeditated nature. Jessica is still in prison now, serving 20 years. And she has never once said that she regretted killing Mirna. You have done your research, and the details are amazing and accurate. Respect!
Rehabilitation shouldn't even be considered or even hoped for for someone like her. Either she would be put in jail and made sure to stay there for the rest of her life or just straight up death sentence.
I agree. But if there is even the slightest chance someone like her can be a changed person, they can do that behind bars for the remainder of their life. Even if she suddenly felt the crushing weight of her actions and she felt overwhelming remorse, it doesn’t change the fact that she took an innocent person’s life away.
ARGH! You do NOT know that. This video told a very condensed story of the events. You know practically NOTHING. Please research primary sources before making these kinds of statements.
@@princeofcupspoc9073 The way she reacted to killing her friend tells it all. You either have a conscious or you don't. I am not pro death penalty, but I think the best you can do to reform a person like this is teaching them not to kill people. You can't teach human empathy to a grown woman who murdered someone the way she did.
I would like to add that the cafe manager and everyone around thought it was epilepsy. And at all did not think it was a foul play. Only Jessica's weird comment "what did you put in the coffee?" Made her suspicious and she decided to keep the leftover coffee. Otherwise it would go down the drain and Jessica would never ever be convicted.. as circumstancial evidence means nothing in Indonesia especially when you have rich parents..
Haha Jessica ruined her own plans to get away with murder. She must have thought that everyone would find it suspicious that a person would start convulsing after drinking some coffee. In fact, nobody would have made the connection right away but since Jessica knew it was the poisoned coffee, in her mind, she imagined that others would immediately think the coffee was the possible cause and that Jessica was responsible (since she knew she was). So she accused the cafe staff as a way to plant suspicion that it was them, rather than Mirna's companions, which included Jessica. And this tactic to try to divert suspicion away from her failed spectacularly. If Jessica had been smart, she would have tried to get Mirna out of the cafe to hospital, and then left with Hani. Their table would have been empty so staff would have cleared away the drinks and poured the coffee down the drain, without giving it a thought. Even if Mirna had been put into an ambulance immediately, there was no way to save Mirna as cyanide acts extremely quickly.
Exactly. This case was dragged on pretty long because both Jessica and Mirna came from rich families... Jessica thought she could really got away with murder in Indonesia, but thankfully Mirna's family kept on pushing for justice. It must've been really devastating for the husband and family to come to the court, seeing Jessica denying and lying through her teeth. RIP Mirna
19:41-2:00 The fact that Jessica just looks so bored during the final verdict further proves that she most likely did it, and that she has no regret for poisoning Mirna. What a sick woman.
Are you sure Mirna died by poison ? there's no autopsy...and that's the fact what happening here in our country, how if Mirna died because of Gerd ? hhhmmm...
Just the idea she smiled on the verdict, it looked like she admitted her guilt that she felt she should pay for the death. She is like thinking she escaped death penalty and she erased Mirna in her life so that is win win situation for her. You get your life then Mirna did not have it. Life is what Jessica has that Mirna does not have so she wins against Mirna. Win win situation for Jessica. The CCTV is so clear she drank it amd felt the effect she died. There is no reason to say it wasn't caused by Jessica.
@@DewaQuezt-s1tif you look at the reports at 60 mins australia video posted, the experts says theres a amount of cynide in her stomach, although no reports stated that cyanide present in her other bodies, the amount of cyanide in her stomach could potentially kill her:) besides jessica's manager stated that 2 months before the murder happened, jessica attempt to suicide and told her manager that she knows the amount of how much to kill someone, also threatened her manager saying she could kill her and her mother, thats some sick person:)
This really is upsetting to me because she had a gut feeling to not meet up with Jessica. I wonder if Jessica was always this way or did something occur later in her life to make her… break in a sense?
Her ex-coworker when she worked for ambulance told to media that Jessica ever made joke that She knows the exact portion of drug to poison someone. Many times sending dead threats to her manager. They all think Jessica is more than capable to do this messed up stuff.
@@maximestormflower7171 "the exact portion of drug to poison someone" She fancied herself smart I think. Poisoning someone with cyanide ain't exactly a delicate job.
My husband taught me about vietnamese coffee, when he was a kid in the 70s he had a refugee vietnamese family live with his fam. While I don't drink it often, it is a nice treat when you want something different. I enjoyed the tutorial it was cool to see, thx for including it!
@TheMrCaptainStfu dude it's just my opinion. It's a bit thicker & a bit sweeter that normal coffee. Or because you're such a stickler I should say MY normal coffee. Plus it's fun to make. So I like it once in a while. I rly don't understand why you care so much about my taste in coffee, it's not a big deal just agree to disagree 🤷
@TheMrCaptainStfu She said "While I don't drink it often, it is a nice treat when you want something different" You're the making it more dramatic then it already was in the first place. Calm down.
I’ve been using that phrase for ten years at least, but I heard it from somewhere else. I’ve never heard anyone else use it though, and was pleasantly surprised when he did. Hopefully it catches on more, it always makes me chuckle.
The bit you did about making Vietnamese coffee made this video even better than usual. The attention to detail in each video you put out is amazing! Keep up the awesome work mate 🙏🏼☺️
It's so sad, they looked like such a beautiful couple. It's crazy how people around u can hate u so much that they will plot your downfall whilst they're smiling to your face
There are people who, when they see a couple in a relationship that is good , they will try to destroy it. Especially if it threatens the group dynamic . It happened to me. Very sad.
Crazy people like jessica is actually walk beside us, hiding among us in this world using their mask, be careful with those you being friend and associate with, people that make you feel uncomfortable is the one you should avoid the most, any negativity or ill intention in one mind cant hide from our human instinct, we just going to feel it illogically
"Pull up a seat, grab a coffee and sit back." Me vowing never to drink coffee from anyone besides myself after watching this video. This also reminds me to NEVER seek out toxic friends. As my grandma would say, "You wouldn't drink poison just cause you're thirsty so why invite bad people in your life cause you want friends?" This story is so sad man. OMG. Jessica is a sociopath.
Jess's mom in interviewed said miRNA had taken n ruined her most beloved youngest ( spoiled ) daughter succesfull life in Australia n made Jessica as the black sheep of miRNA's death . Jessica is a good daughter n very smart too cos she took after her very well n never miss a second . ( That's Jess's mom said during the interviewed, u can Google but it was all in bahasa ) ... Now u can understand where Jessica has this sosiopyscopath issues.
Wow, the fact that she simply poisoned her "friend" seemed so out of the blue! Her motive seemed a little unclear to me, but for a twisted mind, hate and jealousy could be reason enough. An interesting and unique case. I feel sad for her husband, imagine loosing your love in such a sudden, unexpected way. It's really horrifying what some people may be capable of, and that we might not see their darnkess before it's too late.
@@Vivi-vj4zy It seems obvious to me that she doesn't have the capacity to love something. She may have been jealous that her friend was spending less time with her, hence trying to make her friend break up, but that is purely for selfishness. Mirna cutting off all ties probably happened for many more reasons than the confrontation about her boyfriend.
@@sorano111 Why would you kill anyone over that? I can imagine if Mirna got rich did some smear campaign and paid Jessica's employers to fire her. But then that wouldn't be jealously at all.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the respectful way you handle all topics, cultures, names, etc. I've only recently "gotten into" true crime-related stories and documentaries, and far too many channels completely lack respect or even outrightly mock cultures and languages different from their own, which is a massive disappointment. So thank you for treating these topics, these peoples, these cultures with the respect and care they deserve. And also, that insert explaining the unique style of iced coffee was wonderful. Thank you so much for being such a great person Adrian. I look forward to continuing to enjoy your content!
The coffee instructions are a welcome addition. Very interesting to see how coffee is made around the world. Wouldn’t mind seeing more coffee how to videos in these mysteries.
I would like to share why I disagree. There are plenty of videos on TH-cam focusing solely on coffee and how they make it around the world. There aren't however, channels that focus solely on smaller cases/ worldwide cases. I feel like the little coffee break takes away from the main part of the video and it feels a bit inappropriate to just put in a coffee demo in the middle of a murder case.
@@ThePurpleGlitterEater I dont think it takes away at all and in this case sue to the circumstances of the case it was very apporpriate. Adrain does a fantastic job of putting us in the setting of where this happened and the coffee mad it even more immersive. Also, if u dont like it skip ahead.
If only Mirna trusted her instincts that day and not had gone for the coffee. It's such a heartbreaking story. May she rest in peace and I hope her Widower is okay
i remember watching her court hearing, and when the judge asked if she intended to kill her friend, she just answered "well, what do you think?" wtfffff
Maybe the clips were out of context, but seeing Jessica loving the spotlight, laughing, smiling, waving to people...is very disturbing while she was on trial for murdering her former best friend. I dont agree that she will be rehabilitated. Zero remorse.
the Vietnamese coffee tutorial was more startling than anything else in this case. I'd legit never heard of it before today. Thank you muchly for the tutorial on how to make it!
“20 years in prison is unfair!! - says the woman who took a person’s whole life away from them I just can’t understand the senselessness of her actions. A robbery gone wrong is one thing, but to watch someone consume the drink you poisoned is sadistic and disturbing. I don’t believe someone like her can be rehabilitated.
Yes. It is absurd to conclude that because she is young she could be rehabilitated. A psychopath is a psychopath. She's a murderer and cold-blooded! There's no rehabilitating going to be going on. She'll probably end up back in prison. Maybe she'll do something while she's in prison that gives her a longer sentence. She's definitely not the type of person anybody's going to be making friends with in the joint, I would imagine.
@@therealdeal3672 You have a point that rehabilitation would not work. Fact that during her depression she did not heal when she had been hospitalized. Maybe that was because; she stopped taking meds if prescribed or the meds had an alter effect. Apparently, whatever was going on wasn't working. In prison she would be forced to go to some type of therapist. More than likely she made her x-friend the victim, because she found her to be the cause of her failures. That's the one thing that needs to be confronted to make her mind understand, she does not get to play the victim.
@@therealdeal3672 yea but she’s from a rich family. And well..there’s corruption everywhere..she may be living it up there with special privileges that we will never know..of course this is all speculation on my part..but who knows..
I like that you dedicate sections to the victim and remembering their lives and lost potential, instead of exclusive attention to these vile murderers. Great channel!
This is such a tragic case! Mirna was clearly a lovely young woman who brought joy to those who loved her. Especially her husband. So sad, his loss and Mirna's loss of course. Jealousy is one of the ugliest motivations for murder. Loved learning about Vietnamese coffee and the little coffee maker used! You're awesome Adrian! Really appreciate that you pay attention to so many finer details to make a great production! Thanks!
I was at Paulaner enjoying my usual beer.....never would have thought such a tragic incident took place. I did heard about the commotion while totally ignorant about the detail. i headed back to my dorm at Setiabudi and years later discovered this video....Thank you for covering this story. Adrian. I finally understand the full story.
I'm Indonesian, and I still remember this case clearly. I lived in Jakarta from 2010 to 2018 and 5 years out of that I lived about 15-20 minutes drive away from GI (what the locals call Grand Indonesia Mall). GI was one of the many places I frequented on weekends to hang out with my friends. The mall is huge, has two separate buildings, the east and west malls, each about 6-7 storey high. When the case broke followed by the media circus, I was shocked and horrified, not only at the cold-bloodedness and psychopathy of the murderer, the sheer misery of how a young woman not far from my age robbed of her life, but also how disconcertingly close the murder took place .. I still remember the coffeehouse's name .. I still remember its glass facade and the door the murderer and victim walked through .. It was relatively new, strategically located just off the main entrance of the west mall, where I'd usually enter the premise. I don't know how many times I'd walk past that coffeehouse to take the escalators .. Soon after the murder took place, the coffeehouse was closed down, all boarded up. Suddenly, it was a crime scene in the midst of the opulence that is Grand Indonesia. I remember walking past the boarded coffeehouse, trying not to stare for too long, and saw the other mallgoers also stealing glances, some pointing at the place, some covertly taking pics, talking lowly in a hushed tone .. It's been 5 years, and I still feel bad for the victim, her husband and her whole family and friends. I wish them all love, light, and positivity.
@@ohdear2275 I don't think so. Judging by her facial expressions and actions, she's seems to have enjoyed killing her best friend as much as she liked to.
how come theres no mentioned about the husband who took out the US$5 million life insurance on mirna ??? have you guys not done any research on this ?????
My ex wants to see me and "talk things out". Not even getting close to her because I don't trust her at all. Too bad Mirna did not follow her gut feeling and cut off Jessica completely. What a tragic story.
I used to only meet my sons mother in public and cameras ... I finally gave up trying to make things ok and see my son after again she sent the Police to my door agian with false allegations. I lost my international border business due to false charges she put against me and lost everything I'd accomplished... that being said it's been 10 years since I seen my son he's now 15. There is nothing that can rip a heart in two than losing a child that's not dead to greed and control.
As someone who's listened to a lot of true crimes, if you have an abusive ex who has a history of hurting you who wants to sit down over drinks or coffee to discuss things... NEVER LET THEM PREPARE YOUR FOOD/DRINK OR ACCEPT ANYTHING YOU CAN'T SEE THEM PREPARING, don't assume that just because they ate or drank it won't be poisoned. Also always assume that they might have a weapon of some kind. There are alot of ways people afraid of losing control can react that will leave you dead/maimed before you can even realize it happened. Unhinged abusers are very creative in regards to acting out "If I can't have them, no one will"
My ex did the same. He kept trying to get me to come sit inside his car " to talk". My mother warned me that she thought he was going to do something and try to get me alone. Thank god I listened to my mother. When he tries to coax me into the car, insisting I sit inside, I said No and he could talk to me in front of everyone. He became so angry. I still wonder what he was going to do. Scary stuff.
Thank you for raising this complicated story on your list.A new subscriber here from Indomesia,I remembered,this casse was enormously blown up by the media at that time.However,I didn't really pay attention to the whole story.Luckily,you've wrapped this tragical case in an interesting spectacle for me. Keep up your good work. Sending u a big salute and respect for your channel from Indonesia.
@@judymurray191 For sure, hence the quotes. Still! For her to even contemplate murder is one thing. Going through with it is something else. I can’t begin to understand it.
This is heart wrenchingly tragic. Poor Mirna. She didn’t deserve such a terrible death. Sending prayers of healing to her husband, family, and true friends.
I remember watching one of her trials back when I was a teen. She keeps saying that she doesn’t know or she doesn’t remember to most of the questions in court then shifted the blame to the coffeehouse owner/waiter. I also remember her smiling when being photographed by the media even though she just got out of the court for (at that time) suspect murder! She was cocky and arrogant for thinking she could get away with it. Thank you for the great narratives 👍 much love from me xoxo
As a Vietnamese I'm very happy you have given us a detailed session on Vietnamese Coffee haha. Even though the coffee in the video seems to be a bit thin, we like our coffee thick and dark like our hearts. This is Milk Coffee btw, many also enjoy their coffee black without milk. :)
My heart breaks for her parents and husband. I can't imagine their pain. The woman is clearly a disturbed individual and they gave her only 20 years? Who's going to guarantee that she's not going to kill the next time she's feeling 'wronged' or slighted over something?
They disqualified her death penalty for the exchange of her document in Sidney. Also they lack conclusive evidence to prove that she indeed put the cyanide to the coffee for life time in prison.
She definitely doesn’t have any self accountability. Ppl who don’t react well to a suggestion, correction, or a warning, definitely should be careful of
She deserved the death penalty , but her was put under western pressure. U guys are so into human rights . Even if the killers dont believe humans have Rights
I love that Adrian often talks about how sentences are so short for such heinous crimes. Too often in YT crime shows these injustices are glossed over or accepted without comment. He never seems to forget about the person who was killed and how valuable their life was. This channel is getting to be my favorite!!
I feel so terrible for Mirna... but my heart goes out to her husband, that must be the worst kind of pain to feel.. I legitimacy couldn't imagine how horrible that would be.. I have a fiancé who I love deeply and I couldn't imagine losing him ever, especially not like that.. it would kill me. These cases hurt my heart, but thankyou so much for covering them! I've never heard of it before
Lmao that’s so weird. I looked at your photo and started reading your comment and knew straight away that your fiancé would be a “he”. Some people just look like a stereotype. You’re one of them.
I love that you always politely say "please consider subscribing". This is way more engaging people than what TH-camr usually do to raise the engagement.
Mans even made us Vietnamese Coffee. The committment, the dedication, I love it all 🥺❤ Thanks Adrien - Your videos are always so over the top (in a great way)!
I really appreciate the description about the Vietnamese Coffee in the middle of the video, It's a soothing interlude in between heavy topics like this
I really pity the husband, and the cafe owner and staff. The husband lost his loved wife, just after finally tying the knot. And the cafe owner and staff who did exactly nothing wrong and know literally nothing, was a suspect and they also got bad reputation.
It’s crazy to think that you’re going about your business day after day like normal, and all of the sudden boom, you randomly meet up with ‘friends’, take a drink of something and immediately start to fall ill and die. That’s seriously sad to imagine…
This woman's broken life was HER fault. But like so many she had to blame someone else. Note to self: NEVER meet up with toxic people from former relationships of any kind 😐
Really loved the segment on how to make Vietnamese Coffee. One of the reasons I absolutely adore this channel has to be that every video I don't just learn about a case, I also learn fascinating information about the place and culture - thankyou for bringing us such high quality content continuously ❤️
Brilliant video. One of the things I really like about your approach is that you handle the subject-matter very respectfully and always find time to pay tribute to victims/family. Its a classy touch and one that really sets you apart from other true crime TH-camrs.
Love the shout out to Vietnamese coffee. My co worker made me one once and it I gobbled it down. He then came back and was like “Your supposed to sip that”. Didn’t sleep for two days.
You may want to think twice about watching this case over a coffee… I hope you find the video interesting, and enjoy the short tutorial!
I wonder what the tutorial will be
Only God knows how much I wait for every video of Coffeehouse Crime..!!!Keep growing...!!
Killed with Coffee…sounds right up your ally!
Can you please do some for ph case plssss
Gonna pass on the coffee this time :( But still watch the video :D
Lesson I learned from this. Never go out with estranged toxic friends after you've cut them from your life. Rest in peace Mirna, you deserved so much more than this.
Or at least - don’t drink or eat anything left unattended.
@@AVspectre Fr. If somebody orders drinks before I get there. I’m gonna order again, cause it’s better safe then sorry
@@AVspectre the thing is, this kind of case never happened in Indonesia. So people doesn't have that thought in the back of their mind to "protect" themself from a scenario like this you know.
@@AVspectre the thing is here we're used to friends ordering something for us before we arrived. Yeah we kinda take positive thinking too seriously. Really need to be more careful even with 'friends'.
You said it
Kudos to the coffeeshop owner’s quick thinking by preserving the poisoned drink for forensic analysis.
But they probably would simply have thrown out the leftover drinks at Jessica's table, after they left, as cafes normally do - if it wasn't for Jessica accusing the staff of putting something in the coffee. That's what made them keep Mirna's coffee. After all, they were being accused of wrongdoing so they would want to clear their name. If Jessica hadn't said anything, the staff would never have thought to keep Mirna's coffee.
Similar case happened with milktea in the Philippines, but the owner who made the drink died because he tasted it.
His son went to the shop before and after the incident to "put and clean" something.
No one was jailed for the owner's death and a woman who is a customer.
@@helloworld2784 rat poison was mixed in that case. It was accident
The owner probably watches true crime documentaries too.
My dumbass thought the fatal ingredient was some kind of detergent (because of the Bed, Bath, & Beyond bags). Nope, just regular ol’ shopping bags with plain ol’ poison hidden in one of them.
ah yes, Coffehouse Crime, covering Coffehouse Crime.
Recursion 😱
That's so meta
LOL!
OMG lol
it come full circle
if she hadn't accused the shop of tampering with her drink they probably wouldn't have thought to keep the cup. so good on them for being attentive and protecting themselves.
mirna said the coffee tasted funny. Wouldn't that be the clue?
@@ChristelVinot Unless she was a coffee connoisseur, I don't think people will overthink her words then.
It's called PROJECTION!
@@Bazerald777 what? it's not called that lol
id say if it was lost, itd have been dumped accidentally by a staff member after she was taken to hospital, but theyd have to be absolute idiots to not suspect poison ingestion from her coffee. but yeah, in the case that they couldnt test the actual coffee she drank, she may have scraped by due to lack of evidence.
Adrien, thank you for reporting on this cyanide murder incident. I happened to be at the scene of the incident. I was having a nice dinner with my friends and I clearly remember how panicked and chaotic everyone was. a few days later, the police came to my house and asked me if I was involved or not. The news shook the entire country, and it became a year-round hot topic for many people.
(sorry if my english had some errors, english is not my mother tongue)
Your English is spot on. No errors that I saw 😀 thanks for sharing
Perfect english! Don't sweat that. Sorry you had to witness that, though.
You're very welcome. Your English is great, by the way!
@Barbie Blues initially everyone was suspecting on agus (the waiter) if he had some sort of connivance or something like that. Afterward, he testified in court, and his testimony was found to be plausible bcs it was supported by alibis that aligned those of other eyewitness accounts, so he pleaded not guilty and his status was changed to witness
@@CoffeehouseCrime thanks! love your content
Seeing how devastated her husband was was so painful. No one deserves their life cut short over such bitterness, or to lose a loved one over a jealous friend. She had her entire life ahead of her & I liked the part of the video where you described her personality & used footage from Mirna & her husband’s wedding. She deserves to be remembered as lively & blessed as she was. My heart goes out to her family.
@@FetishonyoutubeURL -Thats OK - but you're just assuming that there 's even one person out there that wants to see it.
It's heartbreaking. He must feel so much guilt for thinking she would be safe meeting Jessica with a friend. He probably wishes every day he told her not to go. He lost his wife forever & Jessica only loses 20 yrs.
I know this is serious but I can't move past the fact that there was a coffee pun in you comment
When I read bitterness, I thought something was brewing
@@davidearea242 What was that guy talking about?
A friend of mine was considering going to meet an ex at their old hangout spot beneath a small bridge. I repeatedly warned her it was a bad idea, and that she should meet him in a more public space, and that talking wouldn’t solve or help anything anyways. However, she went and was assaulted. He tried to pull her pants off and rip her shirt. She kicked him in the balls, and ran the entire way to her house when he let go. It is extremely dangerous to keep someone so jealous, unstable, and generally uncaring in your life. Please. Anyone who thinks they shouldn’t be with whoever they are with because of signs like these, PLEASE take the step to leave and save yourself the trouble. You are worth it. Your life is the most important thing in the world, no one else can be you. No one else sees the world you see, don’t let some attractive person distract you from that.
Your fault. You knew it was gonna happen and didn't insist enough.
And your friend is also naive and stupid.

My wife personally was friends with Mirna’s parents. Mirna’s parents had to fight to get Jessica to trial. I don’t remember the specifics, but I believe that both families were wealthy. In the nation of Indonesia, money talks more so than in First World nations.
Now I understand why such a short sentence
Rip english
The victim's parents will never know the true cause of their daughter's death and this is because of their immense stupidity - they did not accept the autopsy - the Middle Ages people - it´s all about religion
All evidence was later today found to be forgery and modified, there are no strong evidence that Jessica was the murderer, cyanide was only found on a small amount inside mirna's stomach and cctv video was edited and brought before the trial so sad for Indonesian law enforcer who had orchestrated this case for public performance
This is very true. The less money your country has, the more power you have if you do have it.
It is very clear that Jessica is jealous of Mirna. Mirna was beautiful, have a seemingly successful life, and had a happy life with her husband. It’s scary what someone can do out of hatred and jealousy. So sad, Rest In Peace Mirna-you were loved.
Yes, I sincerely don't get why our host said anything about "greed" as the cause behind this. Purely jealousy.
Jessica wasn't jealous of Mirna.
She was jealous of Mirna's husband.

Funny how Netflix are releasing all these documentaries where they try to paint the murderer in a better light ie Dahmer etc and now this case
Jessica comes across as a psychopath. She was methodical in the killing of Mirna and showed zero remorse for what she'd done. She almost looked proud of herself. Twenty years was nowhere near long enough.
Maybe the signature of a psychopath is the inability to comprehend that your actions will be catalogued against you! So often they seems to totally miss the fact that what they are doing is obvious to any observer! They think they are so clever when really they are so stupid!
@@bthomson I agree Jessica was a psychopath but she was clearly a very stupid one. Those psychotic killers who were never caught or were very hard to catch never killed anyone in public, or were never near the area when the killing began (the Unabomber for instance).
Ya think?
@@fc7307 The dead woman's sister said that Jessica was jealous. I think at front view, that does look like the case, however we don't know what was the issue between the two. Serial Killers are different because they often kill without a grudge, or they chose to take their grudge out on random, innocent people. To your knowledge, Did Jessica poison the other friend coffee cup too?
@@princeofcupspoc9073 Yeah, I do. Your point being?...
Indonesian here and I’m obsessed with this case! I’d like to share some things sourced from local TV and interviews:
1. An expert from Aussie has a theory that the cyanide was put somehow in the straw. That’s why Hani and the cafe manager that tried the drink was OK. Mirna had the most right away with the first sip.
2. In the girls’ whatsapp group, Jessica asked the other girls if there were any emergency clinic in Grand Indonesia (the mall), few days before the meeting.
When confronted about this in court, she said she wanted to ask for vitamin D that she left in Aussie, and that the ones in regular shop were too upsetting in the stomach. I take D3 and that sounds ridiculous. That really says she planned everything.
3. Mirna’s dad said in a local talkshow that he didn’t know who Jess was. He said he knew well Mirna’s friends from Aussie (like Hani), would treat them with meals etc. and never he knew or saw Jess among them. Mirna’s twin also said pretty much the same, meaning they’re not that close, or, Mirna really tried to disconnect from her.
4. Court facts: when Mirna’s dad asked Hani and Jess what they drank, Jessica lied saying she only had water. While in fact she had 2 cocktails! And Hani didn’t drink anything because she didn’t respond to the chat when Jess asked what they’d like to order. Of course Jess could careless about Hani…It’s all about Mirna from the get go.
Sorry for the long post LOL.
Thank you for these additional details!

@@SiilanPies IDK we Indonesians use it a lot to refer to the country/its people while speaking in our language ☺️
"I cannot accept this verdict, I feel that it is not fair" I would actually agree with Jessica, her sentence is not fair because she should have at least gotten life in prison.
That or Death would be more fitting.
@@KillberZomL4D42494 probably life in prison. Death sentences are pretty sensitive in Indonesia, only reserved for drug smugglers.
Blame the Australian federal police for forcing the mildest possible sentence for Jessica over their agreement with Indonesian police in giving Jessica's history
Mental health keep here from death penalty.
to me, her response to the verdict is an obvious proof that she did it
My heart goes out to her husband, my God, I couldn't bear to see him so shattered.
As for Jessica, 20years is a slap on the wrist for me, for a premeditated murder, it is just unacceptable.
Mirna, may your soul rest in peace, and may God comfort your husband and family at large.
I fear for anyone who crosses Jessica's path after she's released. She'll still be young enough to do a great deal of harm to others.

It's really hard to find a friend that we can 100% trust these days. My best friend blackmailed me because I tried protecting him from his friends( whom he thought to be good)....he just told me to F**k off.
Well, later he realized that I was right all along. He wants to be my friend, but I'm done with that.
Wow Lonelywhale. Hopefully a 20 year sentence does mean 20 years, unlike other countries where she would be out in 10. She's frightening.

Imagine being a good friend and telling your idiot toxic friend to leave her loser boyfriend but then she gets so enraged she kills you years later. Absolutely crazy. Rest in peace Mirna.
Why is the boyfriend a loser ? Surely he was also a victim
I thought Jessica told Mirna to leave her boyfriend? Did I misunderstand? When Mirna went on to marry the boyfriend, she didn't invite Jessica to the wedding, which enraged Jessica. I thought Jessica was jealous of the boyfriend who would take Mirna away, plus of Mirna's successful life.
@@dovebair you misunderstood. 3:27 "Mirna told Jessica she didn't approve of her boyfriend and told her to leave him". This is the fight that basically ended their friendship.
@@tomhindley1584 Mirna seemed like a very kind and intelligent person. Why would she have told Jessica to leave him and that she didn't approve of their relationship? I suppose I am making an assumption but I think it's a pretty safe assumption.
Yeah but let’s be honest. Nobody should ever tell someone to leave their partner because they never will. People leave out of their own will, it should be adviced but not ordered, this is for others, it’s none of your business. However Jessica was so stupid and evil. RIP Mirna

She's never shown any remorse, she even smiled at the cameras after trials. No wonder the public hated her so much that the audience of the trial cheered after the judge announced the verdict.
@@aseeds7785 She wasn't invited to Mirna's wedding. Jessica was already crazy though, Mirna was just the unlucky target.
@@aseeds7785 I think Jessica was always jealous of her. She’s married now things are different.. maybe they’re planning for a family soon. Priorities are husband/family first not friends. Plus her husband wasn’t very fond of her.

The verdict was right on. Too bad the sentence was too short!
What I hate from Indonesia, the criminal always smile whenever they are in front of camera. They never showed any remorse, tch.

I'm Indonesian and was in elementary school when this tragedy happened... I remembered EVERYONE talking about it. This case gripped the whole nation. It's the only thing anyone could talk about, and it's featured in every local news channel and talk show.
The short clip of Jessica absolutely enjoying being in the spotlight, as if the attention from the cameras were the paparazzi instead of the press, really says everything about her. 20 years isn't going to 'cure' this narcissistic sociopath. If anything, it just gives her more uninterrupted time to plot her revenge.
Also, just wanted to say that 14:53 "Jessica seemed...emotionally constipated" made me spit out my own coffee. Thanks, Adrian.
I agree... and my pleasure! haha

This was such a disturbing case, the fact that Jessica knew exactly what would happen the moment Mirna took a sip of that coffee, less than 5 minutes and she lost her life, it gives me chills, especially seeing her head fall back in the footage- rest her soul and i hope her husband is doing well.
Thank you for covering this, as respectfully as you always do. ✨🙇🏽
I know!~And when Mirna asked the others to taste the coffee, that other person they were with could've also gotten poisoned!
@@Cinedragon I'm just glad Mirna's other friend, Honey, didn't try it as stupid Jessica could had killed two people instead of just one. 20 years is way too short for a premeditated murder. She should had gotten life as Mirna lost her life so Jessica should had lost hers as well.
Indeed. Sad.

I wanted to see it being stirred at the end. I feel cheated!
Going to try it. My save me $5 a day since my husband likes them.
Me to🧚♀️best coffee ☕ break EVER!!!
I feel so bad for Sandy (I'm guessing on the spelling), Mirna's twin. I'm a twin myself and to lose my twin would be horrible. I dread the day that one of us will die, we've been close our whole lives. I get the impression Mirna and Sandy were also really close, and it made me a bit emotional to see how heartbroken she was after Mirna's death. I feel terrible for everyone that was in Mirna's life that had to lose her so suddenly.
Really liked the lil coffee break, gave some depth and realism to the case imo. Great video as always!
Same, I really enjoyed it. This channel is great
i need to try vietnamese coffee now
Agreed! Would be happy to watch more of them.
@TheMrCaptainStfu I mean it is called coffeehouse crime, plus you can skip that part with the time stamps :)
I actually like this detail too
Imagine leaving a jealous and toxic friend behind, just to be killed by toxins from a jealous ex friend...
Mirna definitely should have kept moving and not met back up with such a toxic "friend," bearing fatal toxins. Mirna failed to trust her gut all the way, and stay away for good. She took a friend with her, but obviously that wasn't anything that would have protected her from the poisoned coffee.
Do not sit down with someone who might be an enemy. Obviously, it's hard to jump to the conclusion that somebody's going to kill you. But if they've already ordered drinks don't drink them! Insist on paying for a new round.
"I cannot accept this verdict, I feel that it is unfair"
Jessica serving only 20 years after escaping the death penalty-
Ever hear of Two Gun Crowley? This is then mentality of narcissitic individuals who justify and self victimise themselves for their vile actions.
Absolute pyscho
I don't think you should judge this cases in such a superficial matter. There are several factors and studies around it.
For instance, in one hand there is the ideal of rehabilitation of the acussed, in the other, the ideal of neutralization of the danger held within the person.
Than, there is the difference between the law and the legal system as a way for justice as people think, or just an instrument of social order, cause it's very difficulty to bring real justice in the real world, and set it apart from vengeance and sense of retribution that is never enough.
At least, you have to think in the real victims. The society, and, specially, the family and friends of the deceased person.
At first, you would want the most severe penalty for the agressor, because the penalty can't be light enough so it would stimmulaty individual and vengeanfull thoughts and actions, creating a circle of hated.
But studies shows that the victims needs to couple with reality with time. And surprisingly, it's better to them to accept that tragic things happen and no sentence would return their loved one. In other words, a world where you kill and get killed brings little hope and capabilities for the person to move on. In the other hand, a world where someone kills and that's the way it is and still have to think about the humanity of the killers, gives incentive to the victims acceptance of the world good and bad, as a whole, giving them better chance to survive in a chaotic system and find peace.
So.. You have to read and check the empiric data and always think about the big picture.
Those judges, that have the burden to see families destroyed, and cruelty acts, doesn't do a relative light sentence for no reason. There are hundreds of hours in study of books, ideas, concepts and human psychological in it. At least here in Brazil.
Another thing, there are several studies that shows jail as a school of crime. In other worlds, you enter as a robber and go out as a killer, with a worst degree of criminal danger.
So.. What do you do? Lock everybody for life? Then you created a system designed solely in the neutralization of the criminals. And it would represent a system that create poverty, Desi qualities, and than, punish people with less.
If the system is unjustly, the people that commits unjustified acts are not aggressors, but victims, and the system as a whole must be on trial, as Mandela read and said.
So.. If you can't lock someone for life, you have to lock them in the time necessary for the society and family to move on and recover within years, and with no guarantee, while thinking in the possibility of rehabilitation of the criminal.
See how it's not so simple, and only based on how we feel and want? Because we humans only have simphaty for the ones we consider equals. And no one choose to do bad things for themselfs because they want to.
It's a tough job to judge someone.
@@joaovcruz12 Tell this to the two 10-year-olds who killed a kid, got off, and are actually on protection programs with one going in and out of jail and bragging about what he has done and trying to do it again. And the mother getting trolled and blamed for letting her own child killed.
I don't really remember who told this probably her husband or her twin sister, but Mirna told them that she felt scared with Jessica and didn't want to meet her alone, so she brought Hani with her and I think this is an important sign of a victim that felt a danger coming to her way that people sometimes forget about it
Iyaa benar jauh sebelum itu mirna mau curhat ke hanni jg . Mungkin mau ceritain soal jessica tp cerita tsb blm sempet terjadi karena mirna skrg sudah meninggal .
This will definitely be difficult for you to understand because there are many strange things in Indonesian law.
Please understand if English is difficult to understand because I use translate
Here are the facts that I can explain:
1. Jessica arrived early to avoid the 3 in 1 (traffic jams in Jakarta are extraordinary)
2. They agreed to meet at 4, Jessica sent a juice menu to the group and Mirna replied that she liked Vietnamese iced coffee, then Jessica offered to buy it for her then the coffee came at 4.15. Mirna unexpectedly arrived late
3. The table was not chosen by Jessica, but by the cafe waitress
4. Jessica is not monitoring CCTV, but there she is looking for a waiter who guides her to make the payment first
5. When Mirna had a seizure and was referred to the nearest clinic, the victim's husband came to the location and did not allow the doctor to treat her first, he took Mirna to the hospital using a private car without an ambulance (this was very fatal)
6. 70 minutes after Mirna died, cyanide experts found no cyanide in Mirna's stomach and no symptoms of cyanide poisoning. However, 3 days after death and a sample was taken (not an autopsy), it was found to be 0.2 mlg/l (it was not fatal, it could have been due to decomposition of the corpse)
7. There is no evidence that Jessica put poison
8. There were no witnesses who saw Jessica put the poison. There is no evidence that Jessica possessed poison and purchased poison
9. Evidence that the coffee that Mirna drank was no longer original and the glass had been moved.
10. Many experts say that CCTV evidence is suspected to have been doctored. The CCTV was not taken from the DVR but from a flash disk directly and the video had been cut into pieces
11. 14 reports in Australia are not criminal cases. But it was a report of a lost wallet, his girlfriend's worries, his boss's worries and an accident
12. The rumor that Jessica threatened to kill her boss is a LIE, she never said anything like that. It is suspected that her boss didn't like Jessica because she left her job which made it difficult for her boss
13. The judge and public prosecutor at the trial always emphasized Jessica when giving testimony, even the expert witness at the trial from Jessica's attorney was shouted at in a high pitched voice. When Jessica was still being questioned she was forced to admit to an act she did not commit. If he admits he will only be sentenced to 7 years but will not be sentenced to death. It is suspected that they have engineered this case and are suspected of having been bribed by certain parties so that nothing will lighten Jessica's sentence.
14. Someone who previously worked on this case is in prison. This person had committed premeditated murder against his aide. he threatened the police that if he was sentenced to death he would expose the police's rottenness in the cyanide coffee case. (This is very odd, isn't it? It seems true that the coffee cyanide case was engineered)
15. There was a legal expert witness from the public prosecutor at the trial who was caught in a bribery case
16. The judge who sentenced Jessica violated the judge's code of ethics
17. The evidence submitted by Jessica's attorney to the judge and prosecutor that Jessica did not poison the coffee was not seen and was not considered at all by the public prosecutor
18. Jessica was proven guilty based only on the judge's assumptions and beliefs.
19. Mirna's family is thought to have spent a lot of money to cover the mouths of people who said Jessica was not the perpetrator
20. In Indonesia, no money, no justice, no viral, no justice, bribery is a very common thing. because people who don't have money can be made scapegoats or not be prosecuted
21. Jessica acts calm and unemotional because she doesn't want to see her mother sad, because if Jessica is seen crying in public her mother will cry too. Jessica's family is very closed to journalists. Basically, Jessica prioritized her family's feelings because at that time her father had undergone treatment
22. he was arrested at the hotel not because he was evading arrest. He avoided journalists who were always in front of Jessica's house which made it difficult for his family to buy food.
After the Netflix documentary was broadcast, many officials threatened those who spoke about this case. There are officials who are trying to cover up this case and are trying to take down videos that discuss the irregularities in this case. This is very strange, why are they trying to cover it up so that this case won't be reopened?
This may be strange to hear 🤣but in Indonesia many fortune tellers say Jessica is innocent and coffee is not poisonous. They said Mirna died of chronic stomach disease
Now there are 3,800 lawyers who will help Jessica get justice pro-bono. "It is better to free 1000 guilty people than to convict 1 innocent person"
You should have just not met her.
@@adindasist Oof.
She's right. The verdict wasn't fair. She deserved way longer.
Also, loved the coffee bit. I wanna learn more coffee recipes!
Sadly, 20 years is max cap for timed sentence in indonesia, because death penalty is out of option because for some reason Australia try to defend her (life sentence is also a option, but i think Australia don't want that either), this is probably the most harsh punishment she can get
Unless she get another trial after she getting out and get 20 years sentence again, but i doubt it's possible, and even if it's possible, i doubt Australia would like it

Scary knowing that if she hadn’t outright accused the staff of tampering and foul play, the coffee shop might not have kept the cup for evidence and might have simply dismissed the incident as the person’s own health problems.
Exactly! The hard evidence was the leftover coffee. Jessica shot herself in the foot there. I'm sure if she'd said nothing, and she and Hani had rushed Mirna out of the cafe to an ambulance, the cafe staff would have cleared their table, thrown out the coffee, and washed their cups, leaving behind no evidence. All the police would have had is the CCTV footage of Jessica acting suspiciously.
Pooice will find the cyanide trace inside her stomach, but the coffee will surely gone by then.
Jessica's foolishness somehow saved the owner and the spiked coffee for evidence!
True, I would just think that the person had a seazure
but the girl who was poisoned said the coffee tasted funny. That's the biggest clue, and that's what would make someone preserve the coffee.
The sight of Mirna's husband broken and shattered and the bring treated to a photo of her murderer smiling like she just wrapped up her first movie. Is terrifying and undoubtedly nauseating.
But here is the worst of it. Mirna cared enough to fly to another country to see her. Cared enough to say that she did not think Jessica should date this man. And for that....
she was killed. What a complete and utter disgusting motive Jessica had.
RIP Mirna😭🙏🌷

I believe her accident had a huge part of her degradation.
Try to avoid poisoning the customers!!!!! 🤣
@@ronelllambert5394 I’ll do my best!
That's because she didn't care about her in the slightest.
Her dysfunctional life, the self-destructive behavior, was a result of her dysfunctional interpretation of her own natural emotions.
This kind of behavior often creates collateral damage, the result of caring for no one but yourself.
She was jealous of Mirna because she believed that Mirna was everything she wanted to be.
A dysfunctional interpretation of the natural emotion we call jealousy, is envy. Being jealous of someone is something everyone experiences, and it's important for our mental health. It's only when we try to repress those emotions by continuously reinforcing the idea that it's "bad" or "wrong" to be jealous, the divide between our emotions and the way we act on them, becomes a battlefield. Instead of finding ways to express those emotions, we shove them aside and never deal with them or try to understand why we're feeling that way. Because jealousy is natural, the emotion will always reoccur, and over time, we try harder and harder to push it aside. As the pressure grows, we'll become more and more desperate to hide from it, and will use things like drugs and alcohol. The consequences from doing those things have a snowball effect, and before long, there is no way to stop it from rolling further downhill and it all climaxes in a very destructive event, like driving into a nursing home because you're drunk.
Sorry for the novel, I guess I just feel strongly about it all 😂
@@informanti jealousy is always “wrong”, what are you talking about? In what situation/context would jealousy NOT be wrong?
While having the emotion is natural, it is a bad emotion. It shouldn’t be ignored, but don’t make it seem like it’s not always a bad thing to have
I'm an Indonesian, and at the time was working at a building near Grand Indonesia, thus would visit this cafe sometimes. I remember this case rocked the very core of the nation, due to the sophisticated and premeditated nature. Jessica is still in prison now, serving 20 years. And she has never once said that she regretted killing Mirna.
You have done your research, and the details are amazing and accurate. Respect!
Killed someone out of pure envy. Disgusting. I don't think someone that coldblooded can be rehabilitated.
Absolutely not
Rehabilitation shouldn't even be considered or even hoped for for someone like her.
Either she would be put in jail and made sure to stay there for the rest of her life or just straight up death sentence.
I agree. But if there is even the slightest chance someone like her can be a changed person, they can do that behind bars for the remainder of their life. Even if she suddenly felt the crushing weight of her actions and she felt overwhelming remorse, it doesn’t change the fact that she took an innocent person’s life away.
ARGH! You do NOT know that. This video told a very condensed story of the events. You know practically NOTHING. Please research primary sources before making these kinds of statements.
@@princeofcupspoc9073 The way she reacted to killing her friend tells it all. You either have a conscious or you don't. I am not pro death penalty, but I think the best you can do to reform a person like this is teaching them not to kill people. You can't teach human empathy to a grown woman who murdered someone the way she did.
I would like to add that the cafe manager and everyone around thought it was epilepsy. And at all did not think it was a foul play. Only Jessica's weird comment "what did you put in the coffee?" Made her suspicious and she decided to keep the leftover coffee. Otherwise it would go down the drain and Jessica would never ever be convicted.. as circumstancial evidence means nothing in Indonesia especially when you have rich parents..
Haha Jessica ruined her own plans to get away with murder. She must have thought that everyone would find it suspicious that a person would start convulsing after drinking some coffee. In fact, nobody would have made the connection right away but since Jessica knew it was the poisoned coffee, in her mind, she imagined that others would immediately think the coffee was the possible cause and that Jessica was responsible (since she knew she was). So she accused the cafe staff as a way to plant suspicion that it was them, rather than Mirna's companions, which included Jessica. And this tactic to try to divert suspicion away from her failed spectacularly. If Jessica had been smart, she would have tried to get Mirna out of the cafe to hospital, and then left with Hani. Their table would have been empty so staff would have cleared away the drinks and poured the coffee down the drain, without giving it a thought.
Even if Mirna had been put into an ambulance immediately, there was no way to save Mirna as cyanide acts extremely quickly.
A real-life example of the "Nice John Fixing It, Villain!" trope,
Exactly. This case was dragged on pretty long because both Jessica and Mirna came from rich families... Jessica thought she could really got away with murder in Indonesia, but thankfully Mirna's family kept on pushing for justice. It must've been really devastating for the husband and family to come to the court, seeing Jessica denying and lying through her teeth.
RIP Mirna
But didn't mirna say the coffee tasted funny? wouldn't that be the main clue and reason why they suspected it was the coffee?
I really don’t know why ppl keep commenting this as if the case hinged on the leftover coffee, and just ignore everything else smh
Okay but the fact that Jessica looked so bored and could not stop smiling when she was near the press is actually infuriating
19:41-2:00 The fact that Jessica just looks so bored during the final verdict further proves that she most likely did it, and that she has no regret for poisoning Mirna. What a sick woman.
Are you sure Mirna died by poison ? there's no autopsy...and that's the fact what happening here in our country, how if Mirna died because of Gerd ? hhhmmm...
@user-xf8se6ju6z its true no autopsy was done. Such red flag. They only took a sample form tue stomach, however there was no cianide.
since when just your perception is valid evidence? you're the sick one.
Just the idea she smiled on the verdict, it looked like she admitted her guilt that she felt she should pay for the death. She is like thinking she escaped death penalty and she erased Mirna in her life so that is win win situation for her. You get your life then Mirna did not have it. Life is what Jessica has that Mirna does not have so she wins against Mirna. Win win situation for Jessica. The CCTV is so clear she drank it amd felt the effect she died. There is no reason to say it wasn't caused by Jessica.
@@DewaQuezt-s1tif you look at the reports at 60 mins australia video posted, the experts says theres a amount of cynide in her stomach, although no reports stated that cyanide present in her other bodies, the amount of cyanide in her stomach could potentially kill her:) besides jessica's manager stated that 2 months before the murder happened, jessica attempt to suicide and told her manager that she knows the amount of how much to kill someone, also threatened her manager saying she could kill her and her mother, thats some sick person:)
This really is upsetting to me because she had a gut feeling to not meet up with Jessica. I wonder if Jessica was always this way or did something occur later in her life to make her… break in a sense?
Her ex-coworker when she worked for ambulance told to media that Jessica ever made joke that She knows the exact portion of drug to poison someone. Many times sending dead threats to her manager. They all think Jessica is more than capable to do this messed up stuff.
Trust your gut !!
@@maximestormflower7171 "the exact portion of drug to poison someone"

My husband taught me about vietnamese coffee, when he was a kid in the 70s he had a refugee vietnamese family live with his fam. While I don't drink it often, it is a nice treat when you want something different. I enjoyed the tutorial it was cool to see, thx for including it!
@TheMrCaptainStfu you're entitled to your opinion bro...
@TheMrCaptainStfu I don't see why it's such a big of a deal. Someone is just trying to share an experience they had relating to the coffee.
@TheMrCaptainStfu dude it's just my opinion. It's a bit thicker & a bit sweeter that normal coffee. Or because you're such a stickler I should say MY normal coffee. Plus it's fun to make. So I like it once in a while. I rly don't understand why you care so much about my taste in coffee, it's not a big deal just agree to disagree 🤷
@TheMrCaptainStfu She said "While I don't drink it often, it is a nice treat when you want something different" You're the making it more dramatic then it already was in the first place. Calm down.

An interesting and unique case. I feel sad for her husband, imagine loosing your love in such a sudden, unexpected way. It's really horrifying what some people may be capable of, and that we might not see their darnkess before it's too late.
based on what i remembered from the case , it was jealousy. Mirna was getting up on the world while hers was downspiraling
@@Vivi-vj4zy It seems obvious to me that she doesn't have the capacity to love something. She may have been jealous that her friend was spending less time with her, hence trying to make her friend break up, but that is purely for selfishness. Mirna cutting off all ties probably happened for many more reasons than the confrontation about her boyfriend.
@@sorano111 Why would you kill anyone over that? I can imagine if Mirna got rich did some smear campaign and paid Jessica's employers to fire her. But then that wouldn't be jealously at all.
@Nuby great, cos men don't do that!
I absolutely love how you inform on crimes some of us have never heard reported… and your compassion to the victims ❤️
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the respectful way you handle all topics, cultures, names, etc. I've only recently "gotten into" true crime-related stories and documentaries, and far too many channels completely lack respect or even outrightly mock cultures and languages different from their own, which is a massive disappointment. So thank you for treating these topics, these peoples, these cultures with the respect and care they deserve. And also, that insert explaining the unique style of iced coffee was wonderful. Thank you so much for being such a great person Adrian. I look forward to continuing to enjoy your content!
The coffee instructions are a welcome addition. Very interesting to see how coffee is made around the world. Wouldn’t mind seeing more coffee how to videos in these mysteries.
@TheMrCaptainStfu you know you can skip ahead right
I would like to share why I disagree. There are plenty of videos on TH-cam focusing solely on coffee and how they make it around the world. There aren't however, channels that focus solely on smaller cases/ worldwide cases. I feel like the little coffee break takes away from the main part of the video and it feels a bit inappropriate to just put in a coffee demo in the middle of a murder case.
lol getting mad over a coffee tutorial 😂 gotta be 10
@@ThePurpleGlitterEater I dont think it takes away at all and in this case sue to the circumstances of the case it was very apporpriate. Adrain does a fantastic job of putting us in the setting of where this happened and the coffee mad it even more immersive. Also, if u dont like it skip ahead.
Only if relative to the case. In this case it was.
The coffee making tutorial in between the crime story lightened up the whole episode. Great job throwing that there! 👏
@TheMrCaptainStfu ok, then skip it. Or quit watching. Problem solved.
@TheMrCaptainStfu ok lol.
I love the description of the cities where the events happen. I find your videos really instructive and interesting at the same time.
If only Mirna trusted her instincts that day and not had gone for the coffee. It's such a heartbreaking story. May she rest in peace and I hope her Widower is okay
i remember watching her court hearing, and when the judge asked if she intended to kill her friend, she just answered "well, what do you think?" wtfffff
Damn, no remorse.
Maybe the clips were out of context, but seeing Jessica loving the spotlight, laughing, smiling, waving to people...is very disturbing while she was on trial for murdering her former best friend.
I dont agree that she will be rehabilitated. Zero remorse.
That's what usually you will see in Psychopaths, Sociopaths or any other serial killer or killer, they lack something that normal human have
Yess, zero remorse, sadistic sick girl!!!
the Vietnamese coffee tutorial was more startling than anything else in this case. I'd legit never heard of it before today. Thank you muchly for the tutorial on how to make it!
I love how you gave introductions on the country background every time. Some people-might not know about the country.
It always creeps me out. That girl had no idea when she met Jessica in college, that she would be the one to take her life. Rest In Peace.
“20 years in prison is unfair!!
- says the woman who took a person’s whole life away from them
I just can’t understand the senselessness of her actions. A robbery gone wrong is one thing, but to watch someone consume the drink you poisoned is sadistic and disturbing. I don’t believe someone like her can be rehabilitated.
Agree. I do believe the person needs therapy, but 20 years? Too short. The person obviously pre-meditated this crime.
Perhaps she meant she deserves more. Though not likely
Yes. It is absurd to conclude that because she is young she could be rehabilitated. A psychopath is a psychopath. She's a murderer and cold-blooded! There's no rehabilitating going to be going on. She'll probably end up back in prison. Maybe she'll do something while she's in prison that gives her a longer sentence. She's definitely not the type of person anybody's going to be making friends with in the joint, I would imagine.
@@therealdeal3672 You have a point that rehabilitation would not work. Fact that during her depression she did not heal when she had been hospitalized. Maybe that was because; she stopped taking meds if prescribed or the meds had an alter effect. Apparently, whatever was going on wasn't working. In prison she would be forced to go to some type of therapist. More than likely she made her x-friend the victim, because she found her to be the cause of her failures. That's the one thing that needs to be confronted to make her mind understand, she does not get to play the victim.
@@therealdeal3672 yea but she’s from a rich family. And well..there’s corruption everywhere..she may be living it up there with special privileges that we will never know..of course this is all speculation on my part..but who knows..
I like that you dedicate sections to the victim and remembering their lives and lost potential, instead of exclusive attention to these vile murderers. Great channel!
This is such a tragic case! Mirna was clearly a lovely young woman who brought joy to those who loved her. Especially her husband. So sad, his loss and Mirna's loss of course. Jealousy is one of the ugliest motivations for murder.
Loved learning about Vietnamese coffee and the little coffee maker used! You're awesome Adrian! Really appreciate that you pay attention to so many finer details to make a great production! Thanks!
I’m sad for the husband. Just heartbreaking.
When your gut tells you something ain’t right you should just trust it 😞
🥺👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I was at Paulaner enjoying my usual beer.....never would have thought such a tragic incident took place. I did heard about the commotion while totally ignorant about the detail. i headed back to my dorm at Setiabudi and years later discovered this video....Thank you for covering this story. Adrian. I finally understand the full story.
I'm Indonesian, and I still remember this case clearly. I lived in Jakarta from 2010 to 2018 and 5 years out of that I lived about 15-20 minutes drive away from GI (what the locals call Grand Indonesia Mall). GI was one of the many places I frequented on weekends to hang out with my friends. The mall is huge, has two separate buildings, the east and west malls, each about 6-7 storey high.
When the case broke followed by the media circus, I was shocked and horrified, not only at the cold-bloodedness and psychopathy of the murderer, the sheer misery of how a young woman not far from my age robbed of her life, but also how disconcertingly close the murder took place ..
I still remember the coffeehouse's name .. I still remember its glass facade and the door the murderer and victim walked through .. It was relatively new, strategically located just off the main entrance of the west mall, where I'd usually enter the premise. I don't know how many times I'd walk past that coffeehouse to take the escalators ..
Soon after the murder took place, the coffeehouse was closed down, all boarded up. Suddenly, it was a crime scene in the midst of the opulence that is Grand Indonesia. I remember walking past the boarded coffeehouse, trying not to stare for too long, and saw the other mallgoers also stealing glances, some pointing at the place, some covertly taking pics, talking lowly in a hushed tone ..
It's been 5 years, and I still feel bad for the victim, her husband and her whole family and friends. I wish them all love, light, and positivity.
I wonder if the murderer now regrets killing her friend. I wonder if she feels guilty.
@@ohdear2275 I don't think so. Judging by her facial expressions and actions, she's seems to have enjoyed killing her best friend as much as she liked to.
how come theres no mentioned about the husband who took out the US$5 million life insurance on mirna ??? have you guys not done any research on this ?????
Poor Mirna, she didn’t deserve such a spiteful “friend.” 😔
Ikr. Mirna was kind enough to even go see her again after that fight in AUS and paying her bill. That other chick radiates evil
Jessica seemed like a toxic person.
@@breanntheartist1989 seemed?
There's something especially evil about being betrayed by a friend.
Absolutely loved the explanation of the Vietnamese Coffee! I literally said "what's that?" & then you explained what it was!
My ex wants to see me and "talk things out". Not even getting close to her because I don't trust her at all. Too bad Mirna did not follow her gut feeling and cut off Jessica completely. What a tragic story.
stay safe!!!
She has a kind heart. Being kind is a virtue but we must learn to be wise and discerning as well.
I used to only meet my sons mother in public and cameras ... I finally gave up trying to make things ok and see my son after again she sent the Police to my door agian with false allegations. I lost my international border business due to false charges she put against me and lost everything I'd accomplished... that being said it's been 10 years since I seen my son he's now 15. There is nothing that can rip a heart in two than losing a child that's not dead to greed and control.
As someone who's listened to a lot of true crimes, if you have an abusive ex who has a history of hurting you who wants to sit down over drinks or coffee to discuss things... NEVER LET THEM PREPARE YOUR FOOD/DRINK OR ACCEPT ANYTHING YOU CAN'T SEE THEM PREPARING, don't assume that just because they ate or drank it won't be poisoned. Also always assume that they might have a weapon of some kind. There are alot of ways people afraid of losing control can react that will leave you dead/maimed before you can even realize it happened. Unhinged abusers are very creative in regards to acting out "If I can't have them, no one will"
My ex did the same. He kept trying to get me to come sit inside his car " to talk". My mother warned me that she thought he was going to do something and try to get me alone. Thank god I listened to my mother. When he tries to coax me into the car, insisting I sit inside, I said No and he could talk to me in front of everyone. He became so angry. I still wonder what he was going to do. Scary stuff.
This one was heartbreaking. The fact that it happened weeks after her wedding.
The fact it happened at all, but yes, I see your point. It's extra tragic she didn't get to live her life and enjoy her marriage.
Thank you for raising this complicated story on your list.A new subscriber here from Indomesia,I remembered,this casse was enormously blown up by the media at that time.However,I didn't really pay attention to the whole story.Luckily,you've wrapped this tragical case in an interesting spectacle for me.
Keep up your good work.
Sending u a big salute and respect for your channel from Indonesia.
Mirna was beautiful! Hard to believe that a “best friend” would do this.
Agreed, she was lovely. So sad that she lost her life over nothing by the hand of someone she had a sense of trust in.
I don’t think they were considered “best friends” at the time of the murder.
@@judymurray191 For sure, hence the quotes. Still! For her to even contemplate murder is one thing. Going through with it is something else. I can’t begin to understand it.
Well she justified because friend has better life and things going for her while, wouldn’t you do it too, my rule is if I cant have it no one can
@@dopeassolo3563 thats a terrible life rule that will only bring you negative emotions. I hope you can grow as a person and realize that
This is heart wrenchingly tragic. Poor Mirna. She didn’t deserve such a terrible death. Sending prayers of healing to her husband, family, and true friends.
I remember watching one of her trials back when I was a teen. She keeps saying that she doesn’t know or she doesn’t remember to most of the questions in court then shifted the blame to the coffeehouse owner/waiter. I also remember her smiling when being photographed by the media even though she just got out of the court for (at that time) suspect murder! She was cocky and arrogant for thinking she could get away with it. Thank you for the great narratives 👍 much love from me xoxo
As a Vietnamese I'm very happy you have given us a detailed session on Vietnamese Coffee haha. Even though the coffee in the video seems to be a bit thin, we like our coffee thick and dark like our hearts. This is Milk Coffee btw, many also enjoy their coffee black without milk. :)
haha nice
"Thick & dark like our hearts".🤣
@@lavanya_sanatani damn dark heart 😢👀👀😮👀
My heart breaks for her parents and husband. I can't imagine their pain. The woman is clearly a disturbed individual and they gave her only 20 years? Who's going to guarantee that she's not going to kill the next time she's feeling 'wronged' or slighted over something?
I have a feeling this wasn't her first murder.
They disqualified her death penalty for the exchange of her document in Sidney. Also they lack conclusive evidence to prove that she indeed put the cyanide to the coffee for life time in prison.
She definitely doesn’t have any self accountability. Ppl who don’t react well to a suggestion, correction, or a warning, definitely should be careful of
She deserved the death penalty , but her was put under western pressure. U guys are so into human rights . Even if the killers dont believe humans have Rights
Indonesia wanted the death penalty as a muslim country but the west didn't allow it
I love that Adrian often talks about how sentences are so short for such heinous crimes. Too often in YT crime shows these injustices are glossed over or accepted without comment. He never seems to forget about the person who was killed and how valuable their life was. This channel is getting to be my favorite!!
I feel so terrible for Mirna... but my heart goes out to her husband, that must be the worst kind of pain to feel.. I legitimacy couldn't imagine how horrible that would be.. I have a fiancé who I love deeply and I couldn't imagine losing him ever, especially not like that.. it would kill me. These cases hurt my heart, but thankyou so much for covering them! I've never heard of it before
Lmao that’s so weird. I looked at your photo and started reading your comment and knew straight away that your fiancé would be a “he”. Some people just look like a stereotype. You’re one of them.
@@Psyopcyclops excuse me?
@@alexb7092 he means you look like you'd be married to another chick
@@Psyopcyclops Sound like you care a bit too much and don’t have much of a life lol
@@Psyopcyclops Rude and unnecessary
How is it that a TH-cam channel about people getting murdered the most soothing thing on here.
Jessica: Is a stuckup self important pos
Mirna: Does not invite her to the wedding
Jessica: *insert surprised pikachu face*
Totally!
“I hate your boyfriend and you must breakup with him!”
Then..
“Why didn’t you invite me to your wedding?! For this you must die!”
a psychopath easily triggered just because of small things :')
I love that you always politely say "please consider subscribing". This is way more engaging people than what TH-camr usually do to raise the engagement.
Mans even made us Vietnamese Coffee. The committment, the dedication, I love it all 🥺❤ Thanks Adrien - Your videos are always so over the top (in a great way)!
I really appreciate the description about the Vietnamese Coffee in the middle of the video, It's a soothing interlude in between heavy topics like this
That manager saving the coffee was a real boss. And I don't even like coffee but I'm going to give it a try, minus poison ofc.
Don't drink it all at once cause the coffee is very strong
I’m sorry I know I shouldn’t have laughed but “emotionally constipated” brilliant.
I'm definitely stealing that one 😂
It's a pretty well used saying....
May I steal this too? 😂
@@chilliinsanity6898 It needs to die, in my opinion. It sounds weird as hell.
I really pity the husband, and the cafe owner and staff.
The husband lost his loved wife, just after finally tying the knot.
And the cafe owner and staff who did exactly nothing wrong and know literally nothing, was a suspect and they also got bad reputation.
This case doesn't bring bad reputations to the cafe, it's still opened and become famous. But yes, its sad that they had to deal with this.
Jealous/envy is a very dangerous emotion... rip Mirna 🙏🏼❤️ I hope ur resting well
This is absolutely heartbreaking. My heart goes out to Mirna’s family, husband and friends.
It’s crazy to think that you’re going about your business day after day like normal, and all of the sudden boom, you randomly meet up with ‘friends’, take a drink of something and immediately start to fall ill and die. That’s seriously sad to imagine…
Finally💃🏾 been anticipating! Hoping you all had a great weekend!☺️
Same, you too love 💕
You so hawt am gonna die.
Same to you, love!!! ❤️😘
HOW COULD YOU MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO TYPE "bean"?!?!?!? I'm sad now.
TY! You too
This woman's broken life was HER fault. But like so many she had to blame someone else. Note to self: NEVER meet up with toxic people from former relationships of any kind 😐
Really loved the segment on how to make Vietnamese Coffee. One of the reasons I absolutely adore this channel has to be that every video I don't just learn about a case, I also learn fascinating information about the place and culture - thankyou for bringing us such high quality content continuously ❤️
Brilliant video. One of the things I really like about your approach is that you handle the subject-matter very respectfully and always find time to pay tribute to victims/family. Its a classy touch and one that really sets you apart from other true crime TH-camrs.
This case: Finally a crime with coffee involved.
Adrian: IT'S MY TIME TO SHINE!!! *Coffee tutorial*
Love the shout out to Vietnamese coffee. My co worker made me one once and it I gobbled it down. He then came back and was like “Your supposed to sip that”. Didn’t sleep for two days.
