Police have launched a frantic search for British trainee barrister Ben Ross who mysteriously vanished in Majorca eight days ago.
The 26-year-old from Wigan, Greater Manchester, has not been seen since he vanished in Palma on July 10, having moved to the sun-soaked island of Majorca in June to work a temporary job there over the summer.
INTELLIGENCE GATHERED
The trainee barrister had his phone, keys and wallet stolen at a beach while he took a swim in the sea on July 6 and then fell out with his flatmates shortly before he was last seen, according to his mother Felix Robinson.
She revealed to Manchester Evening News earlier this week that she was trying to organise a bank transfer to support her son when Ben sent her a ‘peculiar email’ on July 10, telling her that he was ‘not in a good place’.
ABOUT BEN
Hours later he disappeared and has not been heard from since, with Felix stressing that Ben has a history of mental health illness and was previously sectioned at a facility in Liverpool just last year.
Felix is now planning to fly to Majorca herself to aid in search efforts launched by Spanish police today, describing the days since July 10 as ‘torture’.

Felix, who told the Sun she is ‘absolutely devastated’ over her son missing, has claimed Palma cops are under the impression Ben’s case isn’t a police issue because he is an adult seeking time alone on the island.
But National Police in Palma insisted today in their first comments on the case that they were looking for the missing Brit.
