United Kingdom authorities have opened an investigation after three Nigerian-British sisters were found in the sea near Brighton Beach on 13 May 2026.
The sisters are Rebecca Walter, 31, Jane Adetoro, 36, and Christiana Walter, 32. They were from Uxbridge in West London.
Emergency responders recovered the bodies and alerted local authorities.
Authorities said there is no indication of foul play, no evidence of criminality, and no third-party involvement.
Coastguards believe the women entered the water and that rough sea conditions made it difficult for them to return to shore.
The incident has drawn reactions from both Nigerian and British communities, with many expressing shock and grief.
In a statement, their father, Joseph, described his daughters as the family’s “strength, joy and beautiful light.”
He said losing all three children at once had left him heartbroken and overwhelmed with grief.
