The teenage boy who went missing at Fatboy Slim's beach party has contacted his parents to say he is safe.

A letter from Luis Felipe Souza-Peters arrived at his family's home in Wickhurst Rise, Portslade, yesterday - almost a week after the 15-year-old was last seen.

His parents Nigel and Oldecy said they were relieved to know their son was alive and well but stressed they were still desperate for him to return.

Luis is believed to be staying near Watford.

Mr Souza-Peters said: "We got a letter from Luis yesterday morning. He didn't give an address but he said he was okay and just wanted to sort his life out.

"It is a relief to know our son is safe but he is only 15 and we still want him home."
