Jay 'fled with stolen drugs and 2 knives'

Slater's pal & last man to see him make claim on podcast

- BY PHIL CARDY

JAY Slater stole a dealer's stash of drugs and stuffed two knifes down his pants for protection the night before he disappeared, a shocking new podcast claims.

His best friend Lucy Law - who was partying with Jay, 19, in Tenerife before his death last summer - tells celebrity sleuth Mark Williams-Thomas he told her he was “going on a mission”.

The two-part podcast Jay Slater: The Investigation, features accounts of the night he went missing from some of the last people to see him.

This includes convicted dealer Ayub Qassim - the last person to see him - who claims Jay, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancs, swiped ketamine from his Airbnb in the remote village of Masca.
