€51,000 worth of structural damage caused by Jeremie Camilleri

Apr 3 2023

Apart from the brutal killing of young Turkish woman Pelin Kaya, the crash caused by Jeremie Camilleri earlier this year caused around €51,000 worth of structural damage.

The compilation of evidence against Camilleri continued on Monday, with the perpetrator being accused of the wilful homicide of Pelin Kaya, who was walking home after celebrating her 30th birthday.

Camilleri drove a car into a KFC outlet in Gżira after hitting Kaya with the BMW X5. A LESA representative informed the court that around 3 days after the accident, the defendant’s mother settled a speeding fine which Camilleri incurred with the same vehicle.

The court was informed by General Manager of Food Chain Ltd, the company which operates KFC restaurants in Malta, that around €37,012 were spent in repairs on the outlet.

Meanwhile, the director of the Paul and Rocco petrol station testified to state that the cost of the damage caused amounted to around €15,000. Apart from this, damaged pumps had to be replaced and excavations carried out to inspect for any damage. This amount totalled to €14,219.
