Jay Slater: Police officers in forensic clothing spotted inside holiday rental where missing teen spent final night

Two police officers have today been seen inside the holiday rental apartment where missing Jay Slater stayed the night before his disappearance.

The men, who were both wearing plain clothes, exited the property in Masca shortly after 11am wearing forensic style blue slip-ons over their shoes. They were then seen taking the slip-ons off before speaking to a local, who had let them into the property with a key.

Approached at the property before driving off in an orange-colored Kia Sportage SUV , one of the men said: "I'm not authorized to talk to you. I've been inside. If you want any information speak to the press office in Santa Cruz."

Jay, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancs, was seen leaving the white-washed home, named Casa Abuela Tina, at around 8am on June 17. He had been partying at the Papagayo nightclub in Playa de las Americas, before leaving the event with two British men to go back to the property, which they had rented.

It is more than 20 miles and 11 hours’ walk from the Los Cristianos apartment where Jay had been staying with close pals Lucy Law, 18, and Brad Hargreaves, 19.

Jay posted a photo of himself holding a cigarette outside the holiday rental's main door early on Monday morning. And then at 8.30am, he called Lucy to say he was in the middle of nowhere, trying to get home with no water and 1% on his phone battery.

Police have said the two British men, who it is understood were spoken to by Spanish police before flying back to the UK days after Jay's disappearance, have "no relevance" to the investigation.

On Monday, detectives told a judge they have found no evidence of a crime in relation to Jay's disappearance and are treating it as a missing persons inquiry. As is standard procedure in Spain, the force have reported to a court, which has opened a routine judicial investigation.

Speaking on Monday, a judicial source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: “There is no evidence of criminality at this stage in this case. That’s not to say things won’t change because the case remains open and investigations are ongoing. But right now that’s the situation."
