Murder investigation is launched after British tourist fell 30ft to her death from Ibiza hotel balcony: Police make one arrest

A MURDER investigation has been launched by British police two years after a tourist plunged 30ft to her death after falling from a hotel balcony on the popular island of Ibiza.

Robyn-Eve Maines, 24, was holidaying with her boyfriend when she fell from a second-floor apartment at the four-star adults-only Rosamar Hotel near San Antonio on September 25, 2022. 

Merseyside Police said a 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and released on bail.

They are treating Robynโ€™s death as โ€˜unexplainedโ€™ after reviewing evidence material used by Spanish police, who concluded their own investigation.

Police are making a fresh call for any witnesses to the death of Robyn, who at the time was working as a trainee solicitor for a Liverpool law firm.

Detective Inspector Phil Ryan said: โ€œOn the second anniversary I am appealing for any witnesses who may have been staying at the hotel in September 2022, and who are based in the UK, to come forwardโ€.

โ€œWere you there in 2022 and did you see or hear anything, or do you have any other information which could assist with our investigation?โ€

In an emotional statement, her family said: โ€œWe just want justice for Robynโ€.

They are pleading for any new witnesses to come forward and contact the police.

Robyn was described by friends and family as a โ€˜firecrackerโ€™, โ€˜a beautiful person inside and outโ€™ and โ€˜so specialโ€™.
