Pete Doherty Arrested in Heiress Death Case
- Posted on Mar 22nd 2010 6:00AM by Julian Marszalek
The run of bad luck that has dogged troubled Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty since the beginning of this year took a turn for the worse when it emerged the singer was arrested last week on suspicion of supplying the drugs that killed 27-year-old heiress Robin Whitehead.As previously reported on Spinner, Whitehead was found dead of a suspected drug overdose at a flat in Homerton, east London in January. The flat was occupied by one-time Doherty collaborator Peter "Wolfman" Wolfe -- the pair scored a 2004 hit with 'For Lovers' -- though he denied the heiress had taken drugs at the flat.
It is understood that Doherty was questioned by police on Friday (March 19) and attended the interview by appointment. Wolfe and the flat's owner, Gill Samworth, were both arrested on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
A third person, musician Alan Wass, was arrested last Tuesday (March 16) on suspicion of supplying drugs. All four have been bailed to return in April.
Doherty's 2010 has so far been plagued by trouble. In January, he was fined over £750 ($1200) for bringing heroin into a courtroom while more recently, the hapless singer was banned from driving once again after allowing his manager, Andrew Boyd, to use his car despite being uninsured. Boyd is currently serving a one-year jail sentence after being involved in a hit-and-run incident while driving Doherty's car.

I have never heard of the band this clown is in, Babyshambles, but I have heard of Pete Doherty. Is he the guy that was dating Kate Moss a couple years back?
Another Drug Addict. As far as bad luck, you create your own luck. If he has bad luck, it is all on him.

Only Pete made his own bad luck. Bed, made, lie.

No body ever sets out in life to become a junky. How do you know you won't become a raging alcoholic with the first drink of alcohol you had? It does happen! You can work your friggin ass off and still lose it all, that happens too.
You should be thinking there but for the grace of god go I. Never judge anyone till you have walked in thier shoes.

I hate the way this article is written.
It refers to all the trouble Mr.Doherty is in as "bad luck". Think about it. That seems to be the mindset of society. We make bad choices, bad things happen as a result and it's called "bad luck". Geez. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
