Three sisters who died in sea off Brighton made chilling trip just days before drowning tragedy

A TRIO of sisters who drowned at Brighton Beach had visited the lake where their mother also drowned just two days before the tragedy. Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walters, 32, and Rebecca Walters, 31, were found dead in the early hours of May 13 after their mother had similarly drowned 16 years earlier.

Speaking to the Sunday Times, she said her cousins, aged 20, 16, and 15 at the time, never got over the death of their mother Janice Adetoro, who drowned near their family home in Birmingham in 2010.

She said: “To lose their mum at the ages that they were, it was the crucial stages of growing up and becoming young women. “The years where a mother’s presence and guidance and reassurance and love should be, they didn’t receive that.

She had previously turned up at a police station earlier that year with “paranoid delusions”, an inquest at the time recorded. The sisters would later move back to London but neighbours described them as intensely private and unsociable, having food shopping delivered once a week.

Sussex Police have since concluded their investigation and say they found no evidence of crime or third party involvement. Walters-Daniel said: “We are not going to get the full answers to this”. She added that an inquest next month could shed some light on their tragic deaths. This comes after the girls’ dad spoke out about their deaths, saying “no words can truly describe the pain of losing three daughters” in a heartbreaking tribute reported by the BBC. “You were more than my daughters: you were my joy, my strength and the beautiful light that filled my life with love,” he wrote in the order of service. “There are moments when it feels unbearable, but I hold tightly to the memories we shared, the love we knew and the bond that nothing can ever take away. “Jane, I will never forget your strength. Tina, your kindness touched so many lives. Becky, your warmth and joyful spirit brought happiness wherever you went.” The women’s cousin said at the funeral that their “lives will never be forgotten” and their “memory will live on forever”.
