Jay Slater, along with seven other teenagers, was convicted of violent disorder. They attacked Tom Hilton, who was 17 years old at the time, with machetes, an axe, and a golf club in Rishton, near Accrington in Lancashire, in August 2021. Mr. Hilton suffered a serious head injury and wounds to his shoulders and legs during the attack. The group was also found guilty of witness intimidation. Jay Slater, specifically, received an 18-month community order with 25 days of rehabilitation activities and 150 hours of unpaid work12. In defense of Slater, it was mentioned that he had no previous convictions . A nice young man.

If he walked off they would have found his body by now

[@glynhallett9895]

Can’t believe the two guys he went back with have just been let go. They were the last serious people to see him and know where he was. Report of a women seeing him asking for a bus stop but was it even him?

They haven’t been let go. They are in the uk being interviewed. 👮

Sorry but mum is way too calm. Doesn't seem any where near upset enough considering. Something don't add up

[@keithpedder4369]

It’s a scam

[@helenareid4326]

My heart goes out to Jay's parents so heartbreaking 💔 wondering if her son is going to be found safe & well ,Sending Love ,Strengh & Prayers to them also all family friends ❤

[@STSauto]

Jay was high and drunk and awake for days - as his mum says , hes a sensible boy !!! The family are making him disappear but havent properly sorted the story . Everyone of them comes across as dodgy

[@u9s0e9r]

anyone asking how would anyone even think to walk for 11 hours to get back home certainly never got drunk, did drugs and/or went on a 3 day bender. we all do stupid stuff when drunk or under the influence.

[@sp-pz8uc]

I'm not superstitious, but being involved in a machete crime, in your past, probably won't help, if you are.

[@sandiehutchinson9575]

The photo with the cigarette shows flowered trousers didn't it ? I thought he had shorts on ?

[@Fidelisjoff]

Doesn't add up. His track record, invited tonhouse party by a couple of black men then decided to do an 11 hour walk.......quite normal

[@TayWoode]

He got kicked out coz he tried to steal a watch after they were leaving to give him a lift back too

[@exgtt2061]

Tenegrief…. Those hills have history

[@wecandothiswarriors]

Ok so if they spoke to those lads then did they ask about Jay ? Why did they not ask where Jay is? Why did they let them fly home? Investigation isn’t it???

[@AlbertMonkey]

They stayed an extra day to help police and said they kicked him out when they caught him stealing a watch just as they were about to give him a lift back

[@Lisa-nr7er]

Of course they asked. He got kicked out and he was getting a bus. They are helping with the investigation.

[@pajeetkumar1645]

The simple fact is that Tenerife is full of chancers like Jay, and the cops probably know it’s tied to the illegal trade in pills and powder. They ain't too bothered that one potential dealer got taken out.

[@joycesimpson1595]

maybe has another phone and keeping in touch to see how things are going.. just saying

[@andysmart9078]

Jesus Christ, you couldnt even get the girls name right, great reporting.

[@christac1526]

He is not a teen. He was 18 in 2021 when he attacked the guy with his buddies. He is 21 now.

[@jingtroc23]

1% phone battery left, calls friend to complain about it instead of calling authorities so they can ping his location... Something seems a bit set up, and im not talking about the jay slater gofundme

[@johnjones-c9p]

The mum is feeling the same pain of that her son inflicted on that the other lad who had his head split open

[@Loopylulu8]

Very wishy washy.. Drove to accommodation of these two guys, ok, how? Rental ?, taxi,? Has this been checked, how dod the lads get to airport to go home nxt day in same car ? Taxi ? Did Jay walk back to thrir accommodation after last phone one call to Lucy? He couldn't of got very far in the heat & thirsty & injured from a nasty cacti scratch... Have they gone te way the last woman saw jay go up the Mountain supposedly, so have searchers gone same direction if they had surely he wouldn't be too far away, ... This is odd i feel something sinister maybe to do with the vehicle used by the guys , did he go nack & argue cos they wouldn't drive him back ? Did it escalate? I am very curious about the means of their transport from rave to 40 pound accommodation a night, .... This is important, or maybe jay really did walk up a Mountain 11 hrs away from his place, ?? He would rather walk into oblivion then wait for 2 hrs for the bus, he was thirsty & wated cigarettes, so why would he walk into foreign unknown mountains of cactus shrubs clifs , Mountains, & in a heat wave?????

[@Max-cz8mf]

Surely if he was into drug trouble then the UK police can track his texts for leads?

[@albagubrath9073]

*English police

[@LeeCharles90]

See….. if the justice system sent him to prison we’d know where he was. This one’s on the UK courts

[@johnboys4697]

So sad!

Check his history see if you feel the same 😂

Very fishy

This is heartbreaking. God bless him.

[@donnamurphy8935]

Has the police spoke to the two lads Jay was with on the island? Has it’s been said they have left the island and now are back in England so the police in England should be going to find the two lads and question them

[@user-xq6sj3jk5x]

It's a shame but I think all is lost with finding this young man alive

[@facitenonvictimarum]

With all he hungry wild boars in the area, maybe they'll find a piece of his clothing or his phone or something.

[@helenstevenson1608]

I pray they find this young lad lots of love to his family and i hope they raise enough to be able to stay and continue the search till he's found ❤
