It is 6 January 2016, and two women meet at an upscale café in Jakarta, Indonesia for coffee and cocktails.

One dies of suspected cyanide poisoning, and the other is charged with her murder.

The case goes on to be dubbed “the trial of the century” in Indonesia.

The second episode of “The Cyanide Coffee Murder” looks at cause of death, the unreliability of cyanide, and the battle of the expert witnesses.
