Couple jailed for drug trafficking<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The Central Jakarta District Court has sentenced
\na woman and her boy friend to one and two years in jail,
\nrespectively, for trafficking 30 grams of heroin.<\/p>\n
The court said the defendants, Sella Rosella, 23, and her
\nfiancee Acuan, alias Sulaeman, 26, were found guilty for
\nviolating Article 82 (1) of Law No. 22\/1997 on narcotics. The
\narticle carries a maximum punishment of life imprisonment.<\/p>\n
\"Sella is still young. The defendant has regretted her crime,\"
\nPresiding Judge M. Simatupang said.<\/p>\n
According to the indictment, Sella and Acuan were arrested,
\nwhile they were being treated at Husada Hospital on April 17,
\nafter being stabbed by a man, identified as David, at the Mercure
\nHotel on Jl. Pangeran Jayakarta, Central Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Police officers, who visited the couple at the hospital, found
\nheroin in Sella's bag.<\/p>\n
During interrogation, the couple confessed to having tried to
\nsell the heroin to David and his friend named Steven. The
\ntransaction, however, was canceled, thereby leading to a severe
\nargument in which Acuan and Sella were stabbed by David. Both
\nDavid and Steven are still at large.<\/p>\n
Sella, who was five-months pregnant, said she began using the
\ndrug after living together with Acuan a year ago. (jun)<\/p>",
