Search continues in Tenerife for missing British teenager Jay Slater | BBC News

British teenager Jay Slater has been missing in Tenerife for three days now, after flying out to the island for a music festival.

The 19-year-old's friend Lucy Law told the BBC that she fears he is in “severe danger” in harsh terrain in Tenerife without suncream, water or hiking gear.

Local police have refocused their search to the north of the island after discounting information which took them south.

The missing teenager’s mother has called for the British police to assist with the investigation, so "we can bring him home to his family".

They let him walk home? When they knew he was 10 hours away?
And where were the friends staying in the national park? Camping?
And why cant the friend show her face on camera if this is all just about a missing person?
This all sounds very odd.

Jay Slater, 18, of Fountains Way, ACCRINGTON - 18 month community order with 25 days rehabilitation activities and 150 hours unpaid work. Convicted of s18 wounding with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm and violent disorder in August 2023, when he was aged 18. He is now 19.

Tom Hilton, who was 17 at the time of the attack, suffered a head injury so serious his skull was exposed, and wounds to his shoulders and legs in the attack close to the Old Paper Mill in Hermitage Street, Rishton, in August 2021.

Please compare pictures of the convicted Jay Slater in the Lancashire Post article: Eight handed community and rehabilitation orders over attack 4th August 2023, with any other pictures of missing Jay. It is the same person.

Why hasn't the BBC mentioned the fact that Jay was convicted of being involved in a machete attack?

This kids is not a Angel, and Media need to say how is Jay slater, Last year

"That's why we need British police here.". 😂😂😂😂😂 Sweety that's not how it works. Your police can't move anywhere outside the UK without the approval of the foreign government whose territory they want to visit. And if Spain says NO, then they are absolutely staying put in Scotland Yard. That's why the Interpol exists.

SCAM so they can set up a GoFundMe. Check Lucy’s background. Why is she the only one who can talk? Where are the other friends who went? Total SCAM

[scotty]

Severe danger, just like the kid he attacked with an axe, was in.

[nonnayoubuzinnes]

People go missing every day, not sure why he's getting so much publicity especially given his dodgy past.

[AdmiringBabyPenguin-onfd]

He is an adult not a child, he has a bad reputation and furthermore the story is girlfriend is saying keeps changing. Nice try!

[BarryBeeBuzzing]

The lad was clearly on something aswell at the festvial probably out of his head and how could u leave your mate on his own at a festvial, i dont care if he was involved in a attack recently its just shit for all his family and friends. I usually go to festival's and you'd never leave your mates on your own, you look after each other.

[greyfells]

British tourists really are a different breed

[scruffyo]

Tell the truth about this “innocent” young man.

[jeremiassuarez]

With all due respect because of their pain, how is British police going to do better than our local authorities who know the place and who have had to do this more than once in this same spot? Please, be more specific or it just sounds a bit arrogant

[hon]

that go fund me needs shutting down
the mother crying not crying !

[wingleburt]

Why wont she show her face. DRUG DEAL GONE WRONG

[stephfoxwell]

Attacked a 17 year old with golf clubs and a machete in a drug turf war.
Looking at 200 hours community service.

[kellyg]

He’s not a teenager he is a adult plus stop making out he a clean cut Angel, report that he attacked a teenager with a axe, golf clubs and a machete the person they attack was a teenager

[potoo]

why would you voluntarily go on a 10 hour walk in unfamiliar territory, by yourself? No water, no charger pack for your phone. Cant be that bright and why did no one go with him or tell him not to do it?

[VPPAF]

turns out the bbc didnt do any in depth journalism about the lad and report it to the public in there news that could be a significant factor in his disappearance if allegations of gang violence are correct

[markrobinson]

Why would you expect the British police to help, they spent hours trying to get him locked up, being locked up seems a good option now 🤦
