JAKARTA - Jessica Kumala Wongso, convicted in the cyanide coffee murder case will be released from the Pondok Bambu Women's Correctional Institution (LP), East Jakarta. It is known that Jessica will be released on Sunday, August 18 at 09.00 WIB today. However, has Jessica been sentenced to 20 years in prison, until she is released in August 2024? It is known that Jessica was sentenced to 20 years in 2016. That is, until 2024, she has only served a sentence of approximately 8 years. However, if calculated from a sentence of 20 years in 2016, it means that Jessica will only be released from custody in 2036. "Jessica Wongso is planned to be released from detention or Pondok Bambu prison on August 18, 2024 (Sunday) at 09.00 WIB," wrote Jessica Wongso's attorney, Otto Hasibuan. However, Jessica's reasons have not been explained. Otto only asked reporters to confirm the details today.

Jessica was found guilty of the murder of Wayan Mirna Salihin in 2016. The case became a concern because the murder was carried out by mixing cyanide poison into coffee. This murder case occurred on January 6, 2016 at Olivier Cafe, Grand Indonesia. Mirna died after drinking Vietnamese coffee ice ordered by Jessica at the cafe.
