No Foul Play in Tragic Drowning of Three Sisters
21 Sep
Summary
- Police confirm no criminality or third-party involvement in sisters' deaths.
- Three sisters, aged 31-36, tragically drowned off Brighton beach.
- A substantial online fundraiser has gathered nearly £46,000 for their funerals.
Sussex Police have confirmed that there was no criminality or third-party involvement in the tragic deaths of three sisters. The bodies of Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walters, 32, and Rebecca Walters, 31, all from Uxbridge, were discovered off Brighton beach on May 13. A postmortem examination conducted last month confirmed that all three women died from drowning.
Specialist detectives meticulously traced the sisters' final movements. The investigation revealed they were dropped off by taxi at Madeira Drive, adjacent to Brighton Beach, at 10:20 PM on May 12, wearing everyday clothing. No evidence suggested they visited any local businesses or nightclubs. The police concluded that all three women entered the water near the location where they were found.
Ch Supt Adam Hays acknowledged the public speculation and concerns raised by black communities. He stated that the thorough police investigation found no evidence of a crime. The East Sussex coroner's inquest will consider additional details regarding the sisters' movements and reasons for entering the water. The sisters' father expressed his profound grief but held onto cherished memories. A GoFundMe fundraiser for the sisters' funerals has garnered nearly £46,000 from over 2,200 public donations.
