London man arrested on suspicion of murder after woman, 24, dies in Ibiza balcony fall

A man from London has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a British woman who died after falling from a hotel balcony in Ibiza.

Robyn Eve Maines, 24, from Wallasey in Wirral, was found dead around 8.30am on September 25, 2022.

She is believed to have fallen from a balcony at Hotel Rosamar, near the resort of San Antonio on the north-west coast of the Spanish island, where she was staying on holiday.

Merseyside Police have taken over the investigation into her death, following a previous probe by police in Spain which reportedly ruled out third-party involvement.

On Wednesday, the second anniversary of her death, the force revealed a 27-year-old man from London was arrested on September 3 on suspicion of Ms Maines’ murder . He was later released on bail pending further enquiries.

Mr Maines’ parents said they still want “justice” for their “beautiful daughter” - a law graduate who worked at a solicitors firm in Liverpool - and pleaded for anyone with information to contact Merseyside Police.

Detective Inspector Phil Ryan said: "The authorities in Spain have now concluded their enquiries 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?

"At this stage Robyn's death is being treated as unexplained and we are carrying out a number of lines of enquiry 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."

In a statement, Ms Maines’ family added: "Our beautiful daughter Robyn Eve Maines was tragically taken away from us on 25 September 2022 at the Hotel Rosamar in Ibiza," they said.

"Please if anyone saw or heard anything around this time can you please come forward and contact the police."
