Family of sisters found dead in Brighton speak out over online conspiracy theories

  • The family of three sisters found dead in the sea off Brighton has urged the public to stop sharing online conspiracy theories about their deaths.
  • Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walters, 32, and Rebecca Walters, 31, were recovered from the water on 13 May, with their father issuing a tribute to his daughters.
  • The sisters' aunt, Ajike Adetoro, stated that the online speculation, partly fuelled by an AI-generated photo, was causing the family 'more harm than good'.
  • Sussex Police confirmed an investigation is ongoing to determine how the women entered the water, but there is currently no evidence of third-party involvement or criminality.
  • The family described the sisters as 'happy girls' and 'best friends' who did not drink or club, and are still trying to understand why they travelled to Brighton, noting their mother also drowned in 2010.
