Three Sisters Found Dead in Brighton Sea Had Returned to Where Mother Died
The coroner said the sisters deliberately entered the water after showing signs of planning and intent, including clearing their flat and closing accounts.
- At an October 8 inquest, Senior Coroner Penelope Schofield ruled that Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walters, 32, and Rebecca Walters, 31, died by suicide after entering the sea at Brighton on May 13, 2026.
- Two days before the tragedy, the sisters traveled to Birmingham on May 11 to visit Brookvale Park Lake, where their mother Janice Adetoro had drowned 16 years earlier in 2010.
- Evidence presented at the hearing confirmed the sisters made methodical preparations, including cleaning their shared flat, settling debts, and closing bank accounts; postmortem tests found no drugs, alcohol, or third-party involvement.
- Their father, Joseph Jacobsen, paid tribute in a written statement, saying "To lose all three of my precious daughter, Jane, Christina and Rebecca, is a heartbreak beyond anything I could ever have imagined."
- Schofield noted the sisters lived "very secluded lives" and had no known connections to Brighton, leaving the specific reasons for their choice of location a mystery that may never be fully understood.
