A woman has been arrested after police found cyanide in the iced coffee that she ordered for her friend in the moments before she dropped to the floor, started convulsing and died.
Indonesian police arrested Jessica Kumala on Saturday over the murder of her friend Wayan Mirna Salihin, who died in Olivier restaurant in Central Jakarta on January 6.
The 27-year-old newlywed reportedly complained that her coffee tasted quite bitter before she fell to the ground, started foaming at the mouth and convulsed while at the restaurant with Ms Kumala and another friend Hani.
Testing revealed that the coffee had been laced with the deadly chemical, according to reports.
Indonesian authorities searched Ms Kumala's home for the pants she was wearing that day but according to local media outlets she said her maid had discarded them.
According to news.com.au, Chief Detective Krishna Murti said officers have collected about 20 witness statements and have conducted a re-enactment of the events.
Ms Kumala was named a suspect on Friday and arrested at a hotel at around 7am on Saturday.
Local authorities made inquires with the Australian Federal Police about the relationship between the two friends, who had studied together in Sydney and Melbourne before moving to Indonesia.
'We have contacted the Australian Federal Police because we need some information,' the head of Jakarta Police general crime division, Senior Commander Khrisna Murti, told the Jakarta Post.
According to the Jakarta Post, Mirna and Jessica studied together at the Billy Blue College of Design in Sydney before moving on to the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne.
The paper said that Jessica continued to work in Australia following her graduation in 2008 before finding a job in Indonesia last month.
