First pics of Brit mum, 44, killed in Turkey speedboat crash as tour guide reveals how she died in his arms

"'There has never been an accident like this in Marmaris. Everyone is in shock and upset."

He said that Peter had been left in a coma by the crash, but said he has now regained consciousness.

However, he has been "traumatised".

Anna and Peter reportedly got together recently and were enjoying a seven-day TUI holiday at the five-star Lalila Blue Hotel.

Tragedy then struck at 1.30pm on Thursday lunchtime when the speedboat they were riding in was hit by a fast-moving sea taxi.

Shocking pictures on local news sites showed the yellow and white death boat with a section of its hull torn open by the force of the impact.

Four other people in the sea taxi – the 22-year-old captain and three tourists – suffered less serious injuries and were taken to the resort city’s Ahu hospital.

Anna's ex husband Jonathan Capuano said: "Anna's a nice, friendly person, and was going off to Turkey with her new partner."

Her friends and neighbours explained she had been excited for her break in Marmari, a popular holiday hotspot for Brits.

"She had split up with her husband about a year ago and had recently met a new partner. It was their first time away together," said Baljeet Randhawa.

Another neighbour added: "She had just met a new partner and seemed happy, It is a terrible thing to happen, shocking."

Turkish authorities are investigating the crash, and the UK Foreign Office is supporting Anna's family and the other Brits injured in the crash.
