Her uncle, Mehmet Goren, spoke out yesterday (Saturday, August 26) to pay tribute to the girl, claiming she was "always smiling".

"She was so happy all the time," he said. "She had loads of friends and was really kind to everyone.

"She loved to sing and she loved her make-up. She was just becoming a teenager and had so much to offer the world."

Two men who were on the other jet ski, aged 25 and 17, fled the scene but were later arrested by a Turkish coastguard.

The 25-year-old has been released on bail but the 17-year-old remains in custody. They both face manslaughter charges.

Yagnmur's family is Turkish but she was born in the UK.

Her father, Okan, runs a restaurant in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, where the family live, while her mum, Gunes, is a social worker.

Despite now being settled in the UK the family would visit the beach in Ayvalik once a year to visit grandparents living nearby.

Yagnmur's have also claimed the people who rented the jet skis to them appeared not to be much older than the late child and guessed they were around 12 years old.

They even alleged the firm continued renting out the vehicles just 20 minutes after the crash.

Mehmet added: "It’s like this in a lot of Turkey. The state do not interfere with these things.

"There’s no health and safety."
