Ayub Qassam, a 33-year-old drug dealer reported to be the last person to see British teenager Jay Slater alive, has married Paige Crisp. Qassam is said to have given Slater a lift in his car before Slater disappeared in Tenerife in 2024.
According to reports, Crisp is due to be sentenced in October after being convicted or charged in connection with drug smuggling, with one account describing an alleged £14 million cannabis haul. The outlets frame the marriage as a new development in a case that has already drawn attention due to Qassam’s alleged connection to the events surrounding Slater’s disappearance. Both sources emphasize the personal link between Qassam and Crisp, rather than introducing new evidence about Slater’s fate.
While details on the underlying drug case are presented differently across outlets, the shared focus is that Qassam—linked by reporting as the final person to see Slater alive—now has a spouse, Crisp, who faces sentencing tied to drug smuggling allegations or convictions.
