Three sisters—Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walters, 32, and Rebecca Walters, 31—died by drowning in the sea off Brighton’s Black Rock on 13 May.

The deaths occurred approximately 48 hours after the women visited a lake in Birmingham, the same location where their mother, Janice Adetoro, drowned 16 years prior in 2010. A relative suggested the visit held a “deeper significance,” noting the sisters had not fully overcome the trauma of their mother’s death.

Sussex Police have concluded their investigation, stating there is no evidence of criminality or third-party involvement. Post-mortem examinations confirmed drowning as the cause of death for all three women. An inquest is scheduled to establish the specific circumstances of the incident.
