Jay Slater armed himself with two knives before fleeing an AirBnB after stealing a bag of ketamine and fearing repercussions, according to extraordinary new accounts of the night he disappeared.
The claims - including the first full witness statement from the last person to see the 19 year old alive – were uncovered in a painstaking investigation over many months by celebrity detective Mark Williams-Thomas.
Jay sparked a global media storm when he vanished in Tenerife last June only to be found dead a month later with severe head injuries at the bottom of a remote ravine on the Spanish party island.
Investigator Williams-Thomas reveals his fresh findings in a two-part podcast on the case which is set to be released later this week - and reported for the first time here.
He found that those who were around him that night spoke of Slater having taken a cocktail of drugs that left him 'on a mission' which saw him first steal drugs and then arm himself.
