Teenager missing in Tenerife
2:08am Saturday 6th September 2008
A British teenager has gone missing while on holiday in Tenerife, the Foreign Office has said.
The 17-year-old was reported missing after failing to return to his hotel in the resort of Playa de las Americas, in the south of the island.
A newspaper has said the teenager was murdered and his body found on waste ground close to the hotel where he had been staying with friends.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm a 17-year-old British male went missing in Tenerife on September 4 and we are providing consular assistance."
