The mysterious circumstances surrounding the deaths of three sisters discovered off Brighton beach are yet to be determined, according to an inquest. The father of Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walters, 32, and Rebecca Walters, 31, was described as enduring an “unbearable” experience by the coroner. Despite efforts to rescue them on May 13, the sisters could not be revived. Coroner Penelope Schofield presided over the inquest at Brighton Coroner’s Court, where it was revealed that the cause of death is still unknown, with authorities ruling out any foul play.
The father of the deceased sisters was acknowledged by the coroner for the difficulty he is facing, emphasizing the ongoing police investigation to dispel speculations circulating on social media. The inquest has been adjourned until October 8 to consolidate the investigations into all three fatalities. Previously, their father expressed profound sorrow over the loss of his daughters, describing them as the source of his happiness and love.
The tragic history of the family includes the drowning of the sisters’ mother, Janice Adetoro, in 2010. Janice, who suffered from stress-related mental health issues, went missing and was later found in a lake. Family members revealed that the sisters, based in Uxbridge, North West London, may have visited Brighton to commemorate their mother’s memory, as they were known to be exceptionally close and happy individuals.
The ongoing investigation by Sussex Police aims to uncover the circumstances that led to the sisters being in the water. Brighton Pavilion MP Sian Berry praised the city for its supportive response to the tragedy. The bodies of the three women were recovered near Brighton Marina after emergency services were alerted to a person in the water near Black Rock. The community has rallied together to show compassion for the sisters, whose story remains largely unknown.
