Two potential witnesses sought over Kirsty Maxwell death

The family of a woman who died following a hen party in Spain have appealed for two potential witnesses to come forward after receiving new information. Kirsty Maxwell, from Livingston in West Lothian, died on April 29 in the popular tourist area of Benidorm after falling from the 10th floor of Apartmentos Payma hotel.

Now, in statements released on social media, the family has called for two potential witnesses to come forward after finding new information while looking for answers about the 27-year-old's death.

They are described as an English-speaking man who was staying at a nearby hotel and a customer at a cafe who said they saw a woman climbing or falling from a balcony.

One statement said: On the morning of April 29, 2017 when Kirsty tragically died, a customer in Cafe Trebol adjacent to Apartmentos Trebol Av. de Filipinas, 9, 03503 Benidorm told staff they had earlier seen a girl climb or fall from a balcony.

This was disregarded at the time because the alleged times were not accurate however recent information has necessitated this information to be reviewed.

An appeal is now being made to trace the person who spoke to staff at Trebol, Benidorm.''

Another statement said: As a result of enquiries we have new information about an English speaking man who saw Kirsty's body at the pool of My Pretty Payma / Apartmentos Payma before the police attended.

This man was staying on the 9th floor of Hotel Presidente and was checking out the hotel that morning - Saturday, April 29, 2017.

This is a very important potential witness who we know has not been interviewed by the police.''

Four British men who were in the hotel room that night were questioned as part of an inquiry.

A fifth British man was arrested but was later released.

The Spanish authorities took no action against the men who were quizzed and they were allowed to come home to the UK.
