Police investigating the death of a young woman on holiday in Ibiza in 2022 have arrested a man on suspicion of murder.

Robyn-Eve Maines, 24, was on a break in San Antonio when she fell 30ft from a hotel balcony and died on September 25, 2022. In an update on the second anniversary of the tragedy, Merseyside Police confirmed an arrest has been made following an investigation in Ibiza as they added her death is being treated as unexplained.

A spokesman for the force said a 27-year-old man from London has been arrested on suspicion of murder and interviewed. He has been bailed pending further enquiries, reported Liverpool Echo.

In a statement issued by Robyn’s family they said: “Our beautiful daughter Robyn Eve Maines was tragically taken away from us on September 25, 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."

Officers are now appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward. 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 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.

In a tribute to her daughter, mum Clare Maines said in 2022: "Our beautiful 24-year-old daughter sadly passed away after falling 30ft off her balcony. There are no words for us. We are truly heartbroken."
