Jay Slater missing: Spanish authorities say there is 'no current evidence of criminality' - but that could change
manchestereveningnews.co.ukSpanish authorities have said that there is 'no current evidence of criminality' in the case of missing Jay Slater. The police confirmed yesterday that the nearly two-week-long mountain search, following the apprentice bricklayer's mysterious disappearance on June 17, has been suspended near the Tenerife village of Masca, but the case remains open.
Today, it has emerged that the female investigating judge, who is being updated on the developments, has been informed by the Civil Guard that there is nothing at this stage indicating that Jay was the victim of a crime.
As per standard procedure in Spain, the police force is reporting to a court which has initiated a routine judicial investigation.
The court has refrained from commenting on its behind-the-scenes activities as part of a 'parallel probe' which has continued despite the conclusion of the visible mountain search.
