Sydney-sider Jessica Wongso is better known as the "Smiling Coffee Killer" .

Almost a decade ago, the then  27-year-old brazenly - and fatally - poisoned her best friend in a cafe while holidaying in Jakarta.  Prosecutors claim she was motivated by jealousy.

Now, after serving just eight years of a 20-year sentence, she’s out - and fighting to clear her name so that she can return home to Australia. In her first ever tell-all interview, Jessica sits down with Liam Bartlett to share her version of events.

But as you’ll see – she still hasn't quite got her story straight.
