Police are investigating whether a tourist pushed his partner to her death from the fourth floor of an Ibiza hotel before leaping over the balcony himself.
Detectives said they have not come to a final conclusion but have confirmed they are investigating the incident as a possible gender-based homicide and suicide.
The alarm was raised around 4.30am this morning/yesterday morning on June 3.
Paramedics called to the four-star Torre del Mar Hotel in Playa d’en Bossa, a favourite British resort, could do nothing to save the holidaymakers’ lives at the scene.
The dead pair have been described as a 26-year-old Moroccan man and a 22-year-old Spanish woman with dual Italian citizenship. Neither has been named.
Local reports said the couple, who were sharing the same fourth-floor room, had been heard arguing before they plunged to their deaths.
Spanish National Police have launched an investigation which is being coordinated by an island court.
