The names of the women who were recovered from the water by Brighton beach have been confirmed
Three women who were tragically recovered from the water at Brighton beach yesterday have been identified. They are sisters Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walter, 32, and Rebecca Walter, 31, from the Uxbridge area of London, Sussex Police said.
Emergency services scrambled to the beach front early Wednesday morning to reports of a concern for welfare for three women. Several 999 responders swarmed to the popular spot at around 5.45am, including coastguard lifeboats and a helicopter which was flying overhead in the desperate search operation across the sea. Sadly, the bodies of three women were later pulled from the water near Madeira Drive. Sussex Police have said a number of lines of enquiry are still being explored.
It is believed the women may have entered the water from the beach near to where they were found before getting into difficulty. Sussex Police Chief Superintendent Adam Hays said in an update on Wednesday evening: “I understand the impact this tragic incident has had on the local community and more widely.
“This is a sensitive investigation and we know the public are keen to understand the full circumstances. But our priority at this time is identifying these three women and locating their families, who at this point remain unaware they have lost loved ones.
“I would ask for people’s patience while we conduct these enquiries and to avoid speculation while this is ongoing. ” Police and coastguard officials were stationed along the seafront and on the shingle beach during the morning, where a lifeboat could be seen out at sea and a helicopter was flying overhead. The sea appeared choppy, with waves crashing against the marina wall.
The leader of Brighton and Hove City Council, Bella Sankey, said her heart went out to the women’s families. In a statement, she said: “I am shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the deaths of three women off the Brighton coast this morning.
“My heart goes out to the friends and family of these women, and on behalf of Brighton and Hove I send sincere condolences. “I would also like to thank the emergency services for their quick response and combined efforts; it is heartbreaking that their recovery efforts have ended in such tragic circumstances. ” The beach has now reopened and officers have left the scene.
Sussex Police have asked anyone with further information to contact them online or on 101, quoting Operation Ledmore.
