                      Sequel? Paging Leonardo De Capria

Last evening, in the Yedigöller (Seven Lakes) area of Akkent village
in Kütahya, brothers Sefa (24) and Ali Riza Sokor went for a sail in the
refrigerator they turned into a raft.  However (!), the refrigerator-raft
capsized and the brothers fell into the water and disappeared. ,


                     They said it would never sink...

An AFAD (search & rescue) team arrived on the scene and recovered
the brothers' bodies from the deep.  Their saddened father Ali Sokor
related that "My elder son Safa had psychological problems and my
younger son just returned from military service.  They told me they
were going for a picnic today but I warned them 'don't go to
Yedigöller!'"


  Yedigöller/Akkent is just north of Kütahya city.
