Jay Slater’s Last Companion Breaks Silence in Shocking YouTube Live

Ayub Qassim, 31, who was last seen with 19-year-old Jay Slater before the teen’s heartbreaking disappearance in Tenerife, has blasted conspiracy theories in a fiery YouTube livestream. Qassim insisted he had nothing to do with Slater’s tragic death.

Qassim Denies Any Wrongdoing

Facing a barrage of online accusations, Qassim snapped back, “If I’m guilty then arrest me, what are you on about? When you’re telling the truth you don’t slip up.” He appeared frustrated as he defended himself against the growing rumours swirling since Jay vanished on June 17.

Jay Slater’s Tragic Death Confirmed

Jay, last seen at Tenerife’s NRG music festival, was found dead near Rural de Teno Park. The Spanish Civil Guard revealed the preliminary autopsy points to a fatal fall, with multiple broken bones confirming the cause. Authorities initially detained Qassim and friend Rocky but later released them as “irrelevant” to the investigation.

Recounting The Night

During the livestream, Qassim recalled how Jay had asked to stay with him after getting locked out and losing contact with his friends. “He asked me bro I didn’t invite no-one. Bro I don’t know why he was scared that’s in his own head,” he said. When pushed on claims of assault, Qassim firmly denied it. “No, of course not. Mate, what do you reckon happened to him? He had a tragic accident, you know what it’s like.”

Family Mourns As Debate Rages On

Jay’s death has left his family shattered. His mother, Debbie Duncan, broke down in grief, saying, “I just can’t believe this could happen to my beautiful boy. Our hearts are broken.” The family and community now brace for funeral plans and seek closure, while Qassim’s statements continue to fuel heated debate online.
