A 31-YEAR-OLD British man who Jay Slater was with at an AirBnb before vanishing has insisted the missing teenager “left the house alive”.

Ayub Qassim invited Jay, 19, back to his rented holiday cottage after a rave in Tenerife hours before he vanished on June 17.

He booked the £40-a-night holiday rental online under the name Ayub Abdul.

Qassim told MailOnline that Jay left the AirBnb alive and stressed that he “hadn’t even done anything”.

Qassim said: “The only comment I have to make is that Jay came to the house alive, and he left the house alive.

“I let the geezer stay at mine because he had nowhere else to go, his friends had all left him.

“I know Jay, through friends, I’m not going to bring someone back to mine if I don’t know them.

“I’m doing the geezer a favour and now my face is all over the news. It’s a bit mental. I haven’t even done anything.”

It has been revealed that Qassim, 31, was jailed nine years ago for being the mastermind behind a sophisticated operation to flood Wales with Class A drugs.

Jay was on his first ever holiday without his family when he vanished as he walked back to his accommodation last Monday morning.

He had gone to stay with two people he had met at the NRG music festival and, having missed the bus back, embarked on what would have been an 11 hour walk.

The apprentice bricklayer has not been seen or heard from since calling his friend at 8.50am to tell her he was lost, in need of water and that his phone was low on battery.

Spanish police announced over the weekend that they would be ending their search after 12 days.

But Jay’s friends and family vowed to continue scouring the island’s Rural de Teno park, in the hope of finding him.
