Search teams in Spain have found human remains in the area Jay Slater went missing, Sky News has been told - with early investigations pointing to an accident or fall in an 'inaccessible area' in the village of Masca.
Police commentator Graham Wettone says the geography of the area where Jay Slater went missing made the search much harder.The British teenager went missing in Tenerife almost a month ago. He was last heard from on 17 June after setting off to walk from a northern area of the island back to his holiday accommodation in the south - a journey of about 11 hours.
Spanish police say first investigations reveal the 19-year-old could have 'suffered an accident or fall in the inaccessible area where he was found'. Formal identification has not yet taken place. 'The terrain and the grounds they had to cover and had to search are not easy to search,' Wettone told Sky News.'They're not easy to find somebody, in these sorts of circumstances.
