The deaths of three sisters found in the sea off Brighton Beach have been confirmed by police as non-criminal, with no evidence of third-party involvement. Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walters, 32, and Rebecca Walters, 31, from Uxbridge in west London, were discovered on May 13. A postmortem conducted that month concluded all three women died from drowning. According to Sussex Police, specialist detectives investigated the sisters’ final movements and how they ended up in the water that morning. The inquiry found that all three were dropped off by taxi at Madeira Drive, the road along Brighton Beach, at 10:20 p.m. on May 12, wearing regular clothing. No evidence indicated they had visited nightclubs or local businesses in the area, and the investigation concluded that all three entered the water near where their bodies were found. The police emphasized that the investigation aimed to identify any evidence of criminal activity related to how the sisters came to be in the water or their deaths. However, the thorough inquiry found no evidence of a crime or third-party involvement. Additional details about the sisters’ specific movements before their deaths and their possible reasons for entering the water will be considered during the East Sussex coroner’s inquest. Ch Supt Adam Hays noted that his force had been “acutely aware of the speculation surrounding this incident” and “concerns raised by black communities surrounding the deaths of black people in or near bodies of water.” He said the sisters’ deaths sparked a national outpouring of grief and thanked those who supported the investigation by sharing information. The police will now support the coronial process and ask that the sisters’ family be given privacy to cope with their loss. The sisters’ father, Joseph Jacobson, described the grief as “unbearable” at times but said he clung to the memories they shared and “the bond that death can never take away.” In a statement released through Sussex Police, Jacobson said: “Jane, Christina and Becky were more than daughters to me: they were my joy, my strength and the beautiful light that filled our family with happiness and love. Each of you was unique and precious in your own special way. Your smiles brightened dark days, your laughter brought comfort and your presence made life more meaningful. Though your time on Earth was short, the impact you made will remain in our hearts forever.” A GoFundMe online fundraiser for the women’s funerals has received more than 2,200 donations from the public, totaling nearly £46,000. The outpouring of support reflects the widespread impact of the sisters’ lives and the deep sense of loss felt by many.
