Second Year Law Student, Domen Simonic, has been missing in Maribor, Slovenia, since the early hours of this morning.

The Law Student travelled to Slovenia only for reading week, to visit his dad and some friends. The Slovenian Police have not yet managed to connect his disappearance with the cases of two other missing people who disappeared from the very same area.

Domen was last seen wearing a brown leather jacket, dark trousers and brown shoes.

Ervin Simonic, the father of Domen, said: “My son studies in London and he came to Slovenia for a week’s holiday. Friends had invited him to Maribor, as they had some concert tickets.

“They were together in the evening and until midnight; after that they parted ways. My son then went missing and nobody knows where he could have gone. He simply disappeared…

“Domen had previously arranged that after the night out, that he would stay with one of his friends. Before going out he left his rucksack at her place, but he never came back to her apartment.”

A close family friend told The Tab: “Domen travelled to Slovenia on Tuesday morning only for a week, to visit his dad and some friends. He went with friends to a club first, called Štuk, in Maribor.

Domen stayed in front of the club, where he was having a conversation with some people neither him or his friends knew, when his friends gave him his concert ticket, telling him that they would meet him at the concert hall.

His friends then left, hoping to meet him there, but nothing has been heard from him since 1am on Wednesday 24th February.

Domen said he would meet them there. At about half past midnight, Domen’s female friends left Stuk, but could not find Domen anywhere. They tried calling his mobile, but he did not answer. Domen’s mobile was last reached at about 1 am. Following this, his phone has had no signal.”

Domen’s family cannot believe that of all the dangers they expected him to face in the large city of London, they are now looking for him in the city of Maribor, which is so small in comparison.

She then continued to say: “His mother is so worried. Domen is such a good boy and he means the world to her. Doing anything to get himself in trouble is totally outside of his character and he would never do anything to put himself at risk.

The police have been informed and the search for him is very big. His mother’s hopes are not very high at all, since last year about three or four people went missing in Maribor, and their bodies were all found later in the river.”

Because of this, there have been police divers in the river searching for Domen, and it appears that the search party is growing, with over 100 people expected to join in the search by the end of today.

As of yet, there has still been no new information concerning Domen’s exact whereabouts or if he is at all safe.
