A man from London has been arrested in connection with the death of a Wirral woman two years ago, who fell from a hotel balcony in Ibiza.
Robyn Eve Maines, 24, from Wallasey, in Wirral, was found dead at about 8.30am on 25 September 2022. She is thought to have fallen from a balcony at the Hotel Rosamar in Calle Huelva, close to the resort of San Antonio.
The family said in a statement: “Our beautiful daughter Robyn Eve Maines was tragically taken away from us on 25 September 2022 at the Hotel Rosamar in Ibiza. Please, if anyone saw or heard anything around this time can you please come forward and contact the police. We just want justice for Robyn.”
Spanish police launched an investigation after Maines’s body was found. Merseyside police have reviewed materials sent by the Spanish authorities, who have now concluded their inquiries.
Merseyside police said they were investigating, and Maines’s death was being treated as unexplained. As part of their investigation, a 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and interviewed, police said, adding he had been bailed pending further inquiries.
Detectives have appealed for any witnesses, including holidaymakers staying at the hotel at the time, to contact police.
DI Phil Ryan said: “The authorities in Spain have now concluded their inquiries into Robyn’s death and an investigation is ongoing by Merseyside police. At this stage, we are treating Robyn’s death as unexplained.
“On 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 forward. Perhaps you return to this same hotel on the same date every year. Were you there in 2022 and did you see or hear anything or do you have any other information which could assist with our investigation?
“We are carrying out a number of lines of inquiry but it is vital that people come forward and tell us what they know. Robyn’s family have understandably been left devastated by her death and are still seeking answers as to what happened.”
Anyone who can help with the investigation is asked to DM @MerPolCC or call 101 quoting reference 22000713270. Information can also be passed anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
