National Park, East Java  province, to sellers of "bakso", a spicy meatball 
soup. "They were arrested late in March and are now in police custody  in 
Situbondo district," local deputy police chief Heru Prasetyo said. "After a 
tipoff from local people we arrested the wife with 35  kilograms  of meat from 
about 25 langurs. We also seized  one rifle and wood sticks to kill the 
monkeys," he said. The couple had confessed to selling the money meat for six
