Inquest opens for three sisters who died in sea
Post-mortem exams have not yet established the cause of death, and police say they found no evidence of third-party involvement.
- On Friday, May 29, senior coroner Penelope Schofield formally opened the inquest at Brighton and Hove Coroner's Court into the deaths of sisters Jane Adetoro, Christina Walters, and Rebecca Walters.
- Emergency services recovered the three bodies near Madeira Drive in Brighton on May 13 following a concern for welfare report, triggering a large-scale land and sea search operation.
- Police confirmed there was "no third party involvement" regarding the deaths, while the coroner recorded the provisional causes as "yet to be ascertained" during the hearing attended by family members online.
- Schofield adjourned proceedings until October 8, expressing hope that the formal process will "stop the social media speculation" surrounding the circumstances after addressing their father, Joseph Adetoro.
- Earlier this month, Joseph paid tribute to his daughters, who "filled our family with happiness and love," following a community vigil held at Black Rock Beach on May 24.
