Indonesian authorities have arrested five alcohol sellers after 13 people died from drinking methanol-laced liquor on the main island of Java.

Police say they drank the lethal brew between 6-12 February.

Last year, 25 people, including four foreigners, died from drinking methanol-laced palm wine on the resort island of Bali.
