Their family revealed the heartbreaking loss echoes a past tragedy, as the sisters' mother, Janice Adetoro, also died from drowning 16 years ago in a Birmingham lake, an event that traumatised the girls. The sisters' father, Joseph, has been deeply affected by the news, with their aunt describing him as “catatonic” since learning of his daughters' deaths. The family, from Uxbridge, northwest London, were unaware the women were in Brighton and had to identify the bodies one by one, with their stepmother expressing certainty they did not deliberately enter the water. Police are conducting an ongoing investigation, reviewing CCTV footage and appealing for public information regarding the women's movements between 10 pm on 12 May and 5.30 am on 13 May, stating there is no evidence of third-party involvement or criminality.
