British teen missing in Tenerife had cut his leg and didn't know where he was, friend says

A British teenager who is missing in Tenerife had "cut his leg on a cactus" and did not know where he was, a friend has told Matt Barbet on the UK Tonight from Sky News.

Lucy Law said 19-year-old Jay Slater is "not a stupid boy" and would have flagged down any passing car or spoken to passers by.

Ironically, if the justice system had worked, he wouldn’t be missing, he’d be at His Majesty’s Pleasure…

Got more info on this from the comments section than the actual news report I've just watched 😂

This lass is suspicious. Listen to her again. “I rang 911” - not the emergency number in Spain. “I need to report someone missing.” He’s not missing at this point.

[Luke_]

The fact he went back with people he didn't know in a unknown country is a risk in its self

[Dr.Gunsmith]

This is the same lad that tried hacking someone to death with a big machete.

This girl needs speaking to again ASAP, she emphasised she went home alone, phoned 911???, take her phone and look into it

Convicted criminal goes missing in Spain. Chavvy Brits abroad strike again

[jolube]

The way the title is worded i thought theyd found him
Poor family and friends.

[gingo]

she sounds like shes lying/hiding something.

Perhaps he is being paid back for a certain event in August 2021 - someone didn't think the judge was severe enough.

[Willcifer]

Wouldn't it be crazy if the machete victim's friend or family was in same place 🤔

[karekarenz]

If he was in jail, he wouldn't be lost.

[jamiegraham]

Stuttering mess. Literally lying through her teeth. He also didn't phone her. She tried phoning him. Screenshots on X proving she's involved in this

[laurencefox]

Didn't he have his machete with him this time?

[Sskim-ue]

HE is a criminal. Google Tom Hilton. What goes around comes atound. Only people i feel sorry for is his parents.

[Julie-sihi]

Is he sensible?...no...attacking someone with a machete in 2021 is not sensible.

[WestieWestie]

Is this the same Jay Slater who carried out a machete attack?

[chrisg]

Shes ringin 911 in Spain and wonderin why the plods arent respondin quick enough! 😂

[Jack-rgvc]

Hang on a minute shouldn't he be doing his community service

[owenmckee]

Spanish coppers probably googled his name and decided he wasn't worth looking for
