presumably the hermex grey box is the buzzer in my mind and cover switch is for the light

that's a key holder, often seen in airbnb doorways.

I live in Spain and the switch above is typical of an old style doorbell/buzzer here. I have light switch style doorbell (that no longer works) still in my wall.

ETA they are typically wired up to the house mains electric.

Just looked it up there so where is the buzzer because unless it's an internal system from another part of the property to a telephone line into Airbnb there doesn't appear to be buzzer on external part of green door jay was standing at which blows a hole in ayub story

So why these untrue rumours still appear?
How can not be a doorbell to a house?
Really!

I gather not many people including myself are familiar with this type of doorbell

Isn’t that “Downtherapids” guy currently renting the Airbnb? Might be worth asking him.

Source? I believe the Airbnb is currently unavailable.

I don't think he is staying at the AirBnB he just films around it and in the search area he is looking in

IMO drug delivery between Spain and UK must be minimal in terms of drug mules on passenger flights. These drugs arrive en masse from South América and to a lesser extent from the hashish and opium producing countries from the Middle East.

Their port of entry is managed by the carteles operating in México and Florida. Easy to arrange a deposit somewhere along English or Spanish coastlines.

So, I dont think there was any question of Jay et compagnie being mules. But could be that he was being vetted for a possible set up in the UK?

And didnt want to go along with that.

All IMO


@ dotta, cool that you are watching Netflix about Escobar!

what is the significance of the doorbell/lightswitch query?

 

[Kor_Phaeron]

I think it's strange he called them Mali kids when they are blokes in their 30s and 40s.

'Mali Boys' was likely referring to their presumed gang affiliation, rather than their ethnicity.

The 19-year-old's injuries were "consistent with a fall in a rocky area", the Canary Islands Higher Court of Justice says.

The body was found in a very inaccessible part of the island.

Spanish police believe this man had fallen down a chasm or a drop in the island - that is what made it so difficult to find the body.

The area is full of drops and has thick vegetation.

Drones, sniffer dogs and personnel were used on the ground in the search and we had been led to believe it looked as if it was going to be impossible to find the missing you Briton due to the difficult terrain.
