Pelin Kaya’s family and Turkish media visit site of incident

Pelin Kaya’s mother, accompanied by Pelin’s older sister, uncle, two cousins and some friends, as well as national Turkish media, visited the site where Pelin Kaya was murdered after Jeremie Camilleri drove his car into her and later a KFC establishment.

The family members lay flowers at the site and other items to mourn the passing of Kaya, who was killed on her 30th birthday.

Speaking to MaltaDaily, a family member said that the family expects justice from the court. He also explained how Pelin came to Malta because she was told that the country is safe, especially for women, and that she wanted to continue her studies on the island. Pelin herself loved Malta, she had told her family.

The accused, who was reportedly intoxicated with cocaine during the incident, is pleading not guilty to the murder.
