Watch: ‘Pelin Is With Me Everywhere’: Gżira Car Crash Victim Lives On Through Sister’s World Travels
Pelin Kaya, the Turkish woman who died tragically in a car crash in Gzira earlier this year, lives on with her sister Derya, who is taking her around the world through a gold pendant.
“My sister is with me everywhere. Because this murder is being discussed everywhere in the world. Pelin’s innocence and, unfortunately, the chilling manner of her death touch everyone’s conscience,” Derya told Lovin Malta.
Travelling to the United States, France and Italy, Derya brings an image of her sister with her, raising awareness about the tragedy that changed her life and the lives of her loved ones forever.

“Everyone who invited me is eagerly waiting for the outcome of the case. The question “Is Malta no longer safe?’ awaits an answer, I hope there will be a quick answer with strong, justice,” she continued.
Kaya died in a fatal car crash on her birthday, January 18th 2023. The shocking death sent shockwaves in Malta and beyond.
Since the death, Jeremie Camilleri has been formally charged with wilful homicide after crashing his car while drunk and under the effects of cocaine, killing the 30-year-old woman who was walking by the street.
A memorial has since been erected near the site in Gzira, while, according to Derya, trees were planted in Israel in the name of Pelin. She was awarded the Order of Merit by Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem in Malta and the incident was called Murder.
“Pelin’s birthday and death day are the same, 18th January is approaching. Pelin, let’s meet for the call for justice for all innocent lives.”
Nine months since she lost her sister, Derya hopes that justice is not further away. “I am alone trying to explain to the world my belief that Maltese justice will give a strong response. But they see that the Maltese head is silent,” she told Lovin Malta.
“This case is an insult to Maltese culture, people, justice, security system and most importantly the fundamental right to life.”
