REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Head of Public Relations Jakarta Police Commissioner Muhammad Iqbal, denied that the investigator had intimidated Jessica Kumala Wongso (27) to confess if she had poisoned Wayan Mirna Salihin.

"There are no treatments that force Jessica to confess herself as a suspect," he said on Tuesday (2/2) at Jakarta Police headquarters.

Iqbal continued, police was treating Jessica objectively. She was given rest time, eat, and health service. There was no pressure during the interrogation.

Previously, lawyer of Jessica, Yudi Wibowo Sukinto said Jessica was forced to confess as murder of Mirna by Jakarta Police general crime division head Sr. Comr. Khrisna Murti.
