Overview
- A package of chicken satay was delivered to the victim on May 18 and she was found dead at home the next day with vomit around her mouth.
- Family doubts led police to exhume the body on May 30 and collect vomit residue, satay skewers, food packaging and a dead chicken for testing.
- The Central Java regional forensic laboratory found rat poison in the victim’s body and police say the result supports a homicide finding while the suspect has admitted adding the toxin.
- Investigators say the accused, 40‑year‑old Purwadi Wahyudi, used a courier account bearing his sister‑in‑law’s name and photo to order the satay and that the delivery driver and vendor noticed irregularities during the handover.
- Prosecutors are preparing charges that could carry life or capital sentences under Indonesian law and the case raises questions about delivery‑platform misuse and the role of forensic exhumation in revealing concealed homicides.
