  1. Unbelievable that 70 THOUSAND was donated to this thugs family. Yet the victim of Jays machete attack received NOTHING. Horrible mother.
    Jay Slater and 7 other thugs split a boy's head open with a machete in 2021 and was slapped with community service.

    Jay Slater, 18, of Fountains Way, Accrington – 18 month community order with 25 days rehabilitation activities and 150 hours unpaid work.

  3. Really sad to see. I live in Oswaldtwistle like Jay and his family and still see the blue ribbons scattered around. Thoughts are with Jays family. I hope they get the truth.

  5. Rip beautiful jay you captured thousands if not more hearts❤ you had so much love for your mum and you died way too soon yes you will be forever young I followed the search like lots of people over the world and hoped and prayed for a good outcome sadly it wasn't to be so to the lad with the beautiful smile and had so much life in him I hope your passing was so quick you went to sleep instantly

  6. Wow, trying to make a martyr out of someone who made seriously poor life choices and got deleted because of that. Why am I not surprised. I wonder if they're going to erect a statue for this fallen hero?

  8. RIP Jay, everyone has a past and everyone makes mistakes and despite that there was a genuine good vibe about you and possibly naive to the bad that was around you, you believed in people regardless which maybe was your downfall but was also what made you loved by so many, God has a plan for all of us and i believe you are now in a better place, may God help your family to heal through the pain of this and be at peace knowing you are safe now, me and my family folliwed your story from day one and kept you in our prayers, i also have a daughter same age so i can only imagine the heartache the mother and family feel, we pray you are in a good place forever, forever smiling! R.I.P Jay slater (never forgotten) 🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

  10. Irrelevant what he did or didn’t ….. I can only imagine the family’s grief , to lose your kid must be one of the worst things that can happen to any parent 😞

  20. R.i.p jay rest well sorry you couldn't stay on living rest easy my g didn't even know the guy but the comments in this made me feel sick have some compassion and empathy people!

  21. My uncle was a chief petty officer in the Royal Navy. He died in a mountain climbing accident in the Himalayas.
    The Sun completely ignored him. I guess it prefers young boys.

  22. Here in the USA we don't use horse drawn charges to carry our loved ones. I only seen this done for King's, Queen's..Prince's & Princesses.. in Great Britain.. so this might be customary there for anyone.i don't know.. but what a Beautiful Service. Fit for a Great person.. Rest high in Heaven. Jay Slater

  31. This man was no innocent angel. I've never seen a criminal's death and funeral displayed in this way. He was in Spain trying to be Britain's version of El Chapo. This coverage making him some martyr is weird.

  32. Are you all forgetting this lad was a criminal selling drugs in Tenirife, attacked a lad in England with a machete an laughter I'd say he's getting his Karma an the mum she's just filling her purse, my thoughts an prayers are with the 3 little Angels that were stabbed to death at their wee dance class in Southport ❤😢❤😢❤
