Transcript

00:00Dear Miss Duncan, why bother to go to all that fuss for a young man who was a druggie

00:08and behaved so badly in court laughing and joking?

00:13What will you do with all that money foolishly donated by idiots who respond to the begging

00:20GoFundMe? Stupid, no doubt, we will ever be told.

00:25Everybody wanted, you know, Jay's story. I just didn't, I weren't aware of what was going on

00:34like back in, like back here, I weren't aware of what was going on.

00:38I would have sat in a room in Tenerife getting terrorised by, well, trolls.

00:49Just calls, we know where Jay is, he's done this, he's done that.

00:55All these videos that were going around with, you know, like girls screaming Jay

01:03and noise, being stabbed on a beach and oh my God, the stories, they were just unreal.

01:09I can't even describe the kind of human beings that they are, really.

01:18To sit and go through all that trouble, all that effort to just rip me apart

01:28by trying to say that, you know, he's in a hole, he's chained up and just disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

01:40I wouldn't wish it upon anybody that the torment that I've had to go through and that I'm still going through.

01:47I got a, I can't even remember what it was, a WhatsApp message.

01:55You'll never see your boy again, he owes me all this money and I thought, well, what is going on here?

02:02We've only just arrived in Tenerife and like, what the hell?

02:09I mean, I wanted to believe that he'd been chained up because at least that way I knew

02:15that he was still breathing somewhere.

02:17I wanted to believe he'd been kidnapped and they were being held because I thought, well, you know,

02:24he's alive somewhere, you know, anything, he was still breathing.

02:29That was as horrible as it were.

02:32The first night, second night, I said to Zach, I said, there's a pen there and a pad.

02:40So we'll start writing these numbers down within, what, half an hour?

02:45We had a full, a full page.

02:49And then obviously, because I do, I have WhatsApp, they were ringing me on WhatsApp,

02:54sending me images on WhatsApp and videos on WhatsApp.

02:59The ones that look like Jay, that he's got something wrapped around his neck, that he's all beaten.

03:08I mean, somebody got sent a video and somebody sent it to the Spanish police, actually,

03:13of a young lad being beaten.

03:17The Spanish police actually did act upon that, but it wasn't Jay.

03:21Oh, they tracked it down there, like 10 years ago in Russia.

03:23Yeah, they ended up tracing it.

03:25Yeah.

03:26It's like this, these people kept frantically trying to contact me to say, go to the beach.

03:33There's a video of somebody digging a hole on the beach and it looks like they've dragged a body into this hole.

03:41And you honestly, you just, you wouldn't believe the stuff that we got sent.

03:47You know, and you're thinking, oh my God, and you're watching it and you're watching it.

03:52You know, I mean, Spanish police did give us a private number to WhatsApp any,

04:00anything that we thought relevant.

04:03Probably kids, you know, like young kids.

04:05I mean, you could tell weekend came and it was like, obviously they weren't at school.

04:10But I think if I'd have took every single one on board,

04:14I'd probably be in a bloody, locked up in a padded cell by now.

04:19There were one that got reported, but it was just a young kid who lived miles and miles away.

04:26And I've still, I've got the letter there and I just think it's ready point now.

04:33Just loads of messages, just making his own story up really about Jay,

04:41that he'd been, that he'd been murdered and he made out that it were him that had...

04:49Pushed him.

04:50I would love, I'd love to be a law against what people have done to our family.

04:55I would absolutely love it.

04:58Something needs to be done.

05:01Because it was just vile.

05:04I would like to pursue, definitely, yeah.

05:08I just don't know how people can just get away with destroying people.

05:12I mean, whoever thought it were a good idea to start all these pages, Facebook pages,

05:20Jay Slater missing, Jay Slater discussions, Jay Slater this, Jay Slater that.

05:26They just, you know, do they not have jobs? I don't know.

05:31How do they find time to do these things?

05:35It's shocking.

05:37The money is still sat there and I'm scared of even touching it,

05:41which I were right from the beginning.

05:43And they've had to kind of reassure me that, you know,

05:46these people donated because they wanted to donate,

05:49because Jay obviously touched the hearts of the nation

05:53and they wanted to help his family, which they have helped his family,

05:57because obviously we stayed in Tenerife for six weeks.

06:01We all came out, we all funded everything,

06:05because we obviously didn't know what were ahead of us.

06:08But yeah, we've had to use some for accommodation and to stay there for all that time.

06:15Getting up to the capital, you know, to the police station,

06:19going up to the funeral place.

06:23Obviously, we've got funeral costs now.

06:26We've got the files not closed for repatriation, as I've said.

06:30They've got the property.

06:33They've got things that they've kept for the...

06:39..post-mortem in Tenerife

06:41that we're still going to have to arrange for repatriation again.

06:46It's just I don't know when it's going to end.
