The ‘totally devastated’ mother of Jay Slater has demanded answers tonight after a body was found in the hunt for her missing son.

Slater, 19, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, vanished on the morning of June 17 on the Spanish holiday island of Tenerife, prompting a huge search to try and find him.

Spanish police called off the official search after 13 days, but today announced they had discovered a body. While a formal identification has not yet taken place, officers say that ‘everything is pointing to it being’ the missing teen.

His grief-stricken mother Debbie Duncan, 55, has ‘lots of questions which she hopes will be answered in the coming days,’ a source close to the family told The Sun.
