On May 13, 2026, the bodies of three London sisters—Jane Adetoro (36), Christina Walters (32), and Rebecca Walters (31)—were recovered from the sea off Brighton beach. An inquest at Woodvale coroner’s court ruled that they had collectively decided to end their lives by drowning. The sisters visited their mother's grave in Birmingham on May 11, where she died by drowning at Brookvale Lake in 2010. They returned to London the next day and traveled to Brighton on May 12 via a pre-booked taxi, arriving near the seafront around 10:21pm. Emergency services received calls about bodies seen in the water early on May 13; one body was already washed up on shore due to rough sea conditions. The sisters were last seen alive at 2:42am, and their remains were pulled from the water by emergency services shortly after 5:45am.
