(Newsbreak) A family is grieving an unimaginable loss. Three sisters from London have been identified after their bodies were recovered from the waters off Brighton beach earlier this month — and the questions surrounding their deaths remain unanswered.
According to People, Sussex Police identified the women as Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walter, 32, and Rebecca Walter, 31 — all from the Uxbridge area of London. Their bodies were discovered near Black Rock beach off Madeira Drive in Brighton during the early morning hours of May 13, after authorities responded to concerns about a person in the water.
Police say the investigation remains ongoing, but officials have stated there is currently no indication of third-party involvement or criminal activity connected to the deaths.
Authorities are reportedly continuing to review CCTV footage and conduct interviews as they work to determine exactly what happened.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen the three women around the Madeira Drive area between 10 pm on Tuesday, May 12, and 5:30 am on Wednesday, May 13, to come forward.
Their father, Joseph, released a tribute through Sussex Police. “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,” he said.
He remembered each daughter individually: Jane for her strength and loving spirit, Christina for her kindness and beautiful heart, and Becky for the warmth and joy she brought everywhere she went.
“The tragedy of losing all three of you has left an emptiness that words cannot heal,” Joseph continued. “Rest peacefully, my precious daughters. You may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever remembered.”
Chief Superintendent Adam Hays, Divisional Commander for Brighton and Hove, said the force would “leave no stone unturned” in the investigation and asked the public to give the family privacy as they grieve.
