Aflao, Nov. 20, GNA - A 35-year old unemployed man who was to travel to a European country on an invitation, last Tuesday committed suicide by hanging at Aflao.

A family source said Richard Damesi, the deceased who has been cured of mental ailment sometime ago, had an invitation from a relative in Germany and had just finalized travel procedures when the incident occurred.
