Three women pulled from sea in Brighton named by police

The three women whose bodies were found in the sea off Brighton beach have been named for the first time.

Sussex Police said Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walter, 32, and Rebecca Walter, 31, were sisters from Uxbridge, west London, in an update today.

The women are believed to have entered the water close to where they were found between the Palace Pier and Brighton Marina on May 13.

Police were called to the area at 5.45am after concerns were raised for a person’s welfare. The three bodies were later pulled from the water near Madeira Drive.

The women’s father, Joseph, described them as ‘my joy, my strength, and the beautiful light that filled our family with happiness and love’ in a tribute following the public announcement.
