Teenager arrested over 'abusive' tweets to Tom Daley

Dorset Police have confirmed the teenager was arrested on suspicion of malicious communications at a guest house in Weymouth following a series of abusive messages.

Daley and his partner Pete Waterfield missed out on a medal yesterday when they finished fourth in the men's synchronised 10m platform diving event at the Olympics.

Shortly afterwards, Daley retweeted a message from user Rileyy69 which said: "You let your dad down i hope you know that."

Daley responded by tweeting: "After giving it my all...you get idiot's sending me this..."

Daley's father Rob died last year from brain cancer.

UK is a total fail at the Olympics. I hope you never host another world event again.

Get a fucking grip you mulch-cultural fucksticks.

4 days in and you will not overcome the first impressions people. You deserve to be ridiculed to the 9th degree.
I'm looking forward to your island being covered in ice, the world will be better off.
