The Death of Kirsty Maxwell documentary on MTV to take fresh look into case

A new documentary examining the death of Kirsty Maxwell will air on MTV.

The programme – which is being run as part of the channel's True Life Crime UK series – will take a fresh look into the case, and the unanswered questions which remain.

Kirsty, who was born in Edinburgh but lived in West Lothian, was 27 when she fell to her death from a hotel balcony in Benidorm, Spain on April 29, 2017. She was on a hen do at the time, and had checked in to the hotel just hours earlier.

Investigations found she fell from a room on the tenth floor of the Apartamentos Payma. The room was occupied by five men from the UK, but a judge in Spain has since ruled that the men had nothing to do with her death.

Her family, including grieving husband Adam, have been pushing for authorities in the UK and Spain to take a closer look at the case, and last year her parents launched an appeal at the High Court of Madrid after learning that a Spanish judge had shelved the probe into any criminality.

The new documentary will look at unanswered questions which remain, while seeking long-overdue answers for Kirsty's grieving family.

The Death of Kirsty Maxwell will be shown on the MTV UK channel at 10pm on Wednesday, April 14.

The four-part True Life Crime UK series, which focuses on young lives taken too soon, will start on Wednesday, April 7 at 10pm.
