Emergency services were called after concerns were raised for a person’s welfare at about 5.45am on 13 May, before three bodies were pulled from the water near Madeira Drive.

The women have been named by Sussex police as Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walter, 32, and Rebecca Walter, 31, from the Uxbridge area of London.

Their father, Joseph, paid tribute to his three daughters “whose lives ended so tragically far too soon”.

A statement said: “Jane, Christina, and Becky were more than daughters to me; they were my joy, my strength, and the beautiful light that filled our family with happiness and love.

“Each of you was unique and precious in your own special way. Your smiles brightened dark days, your laughter brought comfort, and your presence made life more meaningful.

“Though your time on Earth was short, the impact you made will remain in our hearts for ever.” Explore more on these topics Brighton news Share Reuse this content
