Vocalist's ex-wife arrested for drugs

BOGOR: Irni Arnita, the 25-year-old ex-wife of noted Slank
rock group vocalist Kaka, was arrested with four friends by Bogor
Police at 11.45 a.m. on Monday in West Bogor.

They -- Irni, Elicia Dwiyanti, 25, Adia Andar Rohesti, 26, and
Doni Dwi Indradi, 23 -- were reportedly using low-grade heroin in
drug dealer Andri Suardi's house when the police raided the
house.

Bogor Police chief Sr. Comr. Nanan Soekarna said on Thursday
that the police seized 96 packs of low-grade heroine, a roll of
aluminum foil and Rp 250,000 (US$24.50).

"The suspects initially denied that they were high on heroin,
but confessed after we did urine tests. We have had our eye on
for two months," he said.

Andri said he could make Rp 2 million in profit per month from
selling low-grade heroin, which he started to sell last year.

"I got the stuff from Limbong, who lives in South Jakarta," he
said without elaborating.

Irni's father, Ridwan Nasution, was shocked by his daughter's
arrest.

"I am shocked but have to accept it. Irni has been using drugs
since marrying (Kaka)."

Members of Slank, who have admitted to taking drugs for years,
declared last year that they were drug-free after expensive and
intensive treatment and now encourage fans to shun drugs. -- JP
