                              They cashed in their chips.

Three Iranian brothers who came to Antalya some time ago, 

rented a furnished flat in Güzeloba neighborhood of Muratpaşa

district.  When the brothers' family in Iran could not reach

them for 15 days they contacted Iranian Emrullah Esedi in

Antalya.

Esedi went to the brothers' rented flat with the police and

entered with the owner's key, only to find the dead bodies of

Mohammed Reza Yasovalian (44), Mohsen Yasovalian (36) 

and Anmirhossein Yasovalian (33).  Police found a 9-page

note in Farsi relating that the three brothers had lost a large

amount of money playing the stock market and decided to

commit suicide together.

The doors and windows inside the house had been taped

to prevent air from entering and the smoke from a coal

fire the brothers lit suffocated all of them.
