Story summary

On May 13, 2023, the bodies of three sisters — Jane Adetoro (36), Christina Walters (32), and Rebecca Walters (31) — were found in the sea near Black Rock car park in Brighton. The women had visited the lake where their mother Janice Adetoro drowned 16 years earlier, just two days before their own deaths. Sussex Police concluded that there was no criminality or third-party involvement; the sisters entered the water together and died by drowning. Their cousin Natalie Walters-Daniel believes the visit to the lake carried a "deeper meaning," given the profound impact of losing their mother at young ages on their development. An inquest is set to establish the exact circumstances of their deaths next month.
