Adulterated liquor

Jakarta, 29 Rabiul Akhir 1437/8 February 2016 (MINA) – Bootleg liquor has reportedly killed at least two dozen people in a village in Indonesia’s Central Java province over the last few days.

Two people have been arrested in Indonesia after home-made liquor killed at least 24 people, and left another 22 in hospital.

Quoting police on Sunday, MetroTV said two people in the village of Sleman had been arrested for selling homemade liquor that was believed to have contained harmful substances.

Twenty-two others are being treated at hospitals, Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) quoted AAP as reporting.

Police have sent the hard liquors mixed with harmful substances to the laboratory in Semarang to be tested,” MetroTV quoted Sleman police chief Yulianto as saying.

Deaths from moonshine are common in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas where many villagers are unable to afford licensed spirits. (T/R07/R01)
