The “grim discovery” of a body in the search for missing British teenager Jay Slater features heavily on Tuesday’s front pages.
DNA tests will be carried out on the body found in a ravine close to where he disappeared and the site of his mobile phone’s last-known location.
The 19-year-old apprentice bricklayer was last seen nearly a month ago after attending a music festival in northern Tenerife.
He is likely to have suffered an “accident or fall”, according to police.
The Daily Express and Metro both lead with the tragic discovery, with the Daily Mirror labelling the latest development his family’s “worst nightmare”.
