Three sisters who died in sea off Brighton took own lives, inquest finds
The bodies of Jane Adetoro, Christina Walters and Rebecca Walters were pulled from the water on 13 May.
Three sisters, Jane Adetoro, Christina Walters, and Rebecca Walters, tragically took their own lives off the coast of Brighton, according to a coroner's ruling. The women, who lived together in Greenford, London, drowned on May 13, 2022. Before their deaths, the sisters had visited a location near where their mother had drowned in a lake in Birmingham.
They then journeyed to Brighton, where they encountered dangerous sea conditions and were unable to swim. Senior coroner Penelope Schofield concluded that the women had deliberately taken their own lives and that the reason for choosing Brighton may never be known. For those experiencing emotional distress, help and support resources are available.
