Drug dealer and ‘ex-boyfriend’ of Harriet Wran reveals her descent into drugs but says she’s no addict
A DRUG dealer who claims to be an ex-boyfriend and former housemate of Harriet Wran has told of her tragic descent into drugs.
A DRUG dealer who claims to be an ex-boyfriend and former housemate of Harriet Wran has told of her tragic descent into drugs.
Sonny Khetkan, 29, got out of prison two days ago, after spending 38 days locked up for breaching his parole by taking drugs while he was celebrating his birthday with Wran on July 10.
“She came over to see me on my birthday and then I got caught with dirty urine and breached my parole,” the drug dealer told a friend yesterday.
Wran, 26, has been charged with two other men for the murder of Daniel McNulty in a Redfern apartment block.
The 26-year-old daughter of former NSW premier Neville Wran was arrested on August 13 and later charged with murder, along with her friend of two weeks Michael Lee, 35, and a man she had just met, Lloyd Haines, 29.
Her distraught mother, Jill Wran, flew from Brisbane to Sydney to see her daughter, who once attended an exclusive public school and enjoyed the company of high society.
It was a dramatic fall for such a high-profile socialite.
Khetkan said he was planning to visit Wran in Silverwater women’s prison soon.
The Thai-born dealer claims to have first met Wran in 2011 while selling drugs to her friends in Bondi.
“Then one thing led to another and I stayed on,” he told the friend, who informed The Saturday Telegraph.
“She is not a drug addict. She takes drugs but she is not a full-on ice addict,” he said.
“I was doing my thing, organising stuff and she was by my side. But she wouldn’t know what was happening.”
Khetkan told his friend that Wran’s mother Jill “hates” him because he drove up to Queensland to collect Harriet just two days into a 12-week, $80,000 rehabilitation program.
The Wran family would confirm only that they knew Khetkan and that they considered him to be “a piece of slime”.
Khetkan claims he still has some of Wran’s belongings, including gifts from her father, which she left with him when she went into rehab programs while they were together.
Khetkan was arrested in August 2012 on drug charges. He was jailed and eventually released in October last year.
“We tried to keep apart, I wanted her to be clean,” he told the friend, adding Wran wrote him letters explaining why they could not meet up.
“She relapsed because she came and saw me for my birthday,” Khetkan told the friend. “I was devastated by what happened to her. I love her and she loves me.”
