Three sisters discovered dead off Brighton beach were reserved women who did not drink or visit nightclubs, their family has revealed. Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walters, 32, and Rebecca Walters, 31, were found dead near Black Rock beach by Brighton Marina last Wednesday.
Family Speaks Out
Relatives described the women as inseparable after they were officially identified this week. In an interview with The Times, family members expressed confusion over why the sisters had traveled to Brighton that morning. Their aunt, Ajike Adetoro, said: "We've got to speak out to clarify this situation. These girls would not drink alcohol or smoke. They never went clubbing. They didn't even have social media. They were their father's world."
She added: "We are not speculating, but the girls were totally happy in the weeks and months before it happened. It was totally unexpected." Ajike described the sisters as "the closest sisters and best friends who did everything together. They were happy girls. They'd moved out of their father's house two years ago but would message at least twice a day."
Investigation Underway
The three sisters were discovered off Black Rock beach near Brighton Marina on Wednesday last week. Officers traced a key fob found with them to their flat in Uxbridge. Sussex Police stated they have no evidence to suggest third-party involvement or criminality.
The family has been upset by conspiracy theories that emerged after they used artificial intelligence to create a single photograph of the sisters from older images, as they did not have a recent picture of all three together. Ajike clarified: "We just wanted AI to put it together and make it look good, all three of them together. I've just had to stop looking. The most disturbing part for us is the conspiracies. We've heard people jump to conclusions that it was a racist attack, a murder, that they were clubbing... the most absurd messages. It is all wrong."
Profiles of the Sisters
Jane Adetoro worked as an accountant and was described by relatives as "extremely intelligent" and "a bit more serious because she had already taken on the role of mother to the other sisters." Christina Walters had recently graduated from Brunel University and, relatives said, worked hard to move on from the trauma of losing her mother. Rebecca Walters was remembered as "the baby who was very mischievous" and "the lively one who was always cracking jokes."
An investigation into how Jane, Christina, and Rebecca ended up in the water remains ongoing.
