THREE sisters found dead in the sea off Brighton beach last week have been pictured.

It is feared the women were “suddenly dragged into danger after misjudging the shingle shelf” close to the water’s edge.
Their dad Joseph today said “no words can truly describe the pain” of losing his family, and described the girls as his “joy and strength”.
Joseph added: “The tragedy of losing all three of you has left an emptiness that words cannot heal.”
“Today, with a heart full of sorrow and love, I pay tribute to my beloved daughters — Jane, Christina, and Becky — whose lives ended so tragically far too soon.

“No words can truly describe the pain of losing three daughters in the prime of their lives. 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 forever.”
It was feared one of the women was “suddenly dragged into danger after misjudging the shingle shelf”, though police are understood to be probing a number of lines of enquiry.
The pebbled beach around central Brighton and the Palace Pier is notorious for having the steep slopes, which can be incredibly dangerous for swimmers.

A Coastguard source told The Sun: “It’s feared at least one of the women went into the water for a paddle and was then suddenly dragged into danger after misjudging the shingle shelf.
“If you took one pace out thinking it’s flat you could go down two feet or more very quickly.
“That can turn things very dangerous very quickly.”
The incident prompted a huge search operation with coastguard boats scouring the water as helicopters flew overhead.

There were more than a dozen police officers, police vans and cars as well as HM Coastguard Search and Rescue officers and equipment at the scene.
The beach later reopened following an investigation that started at around 5.45am on Wednesday.
Cops confirmed that the women’s loved ones are being supported by specialist officers.
Joseph paid tribute to each of his daughters individually, he said: “Jane, your strength and loving spirit will never be forgotten. Christina, your kindness and beautiful heart touched so many lives. Becky, your warmth and joyful soul brought happiness wherever you went. You were deeply loved, and you will always be deeply missed.”
He added: “There are days when the grief feels unbearable, yet I hold tightly to the memories we shared — the laughter, the conversations, the love, and the bond that death can never take away.
“Though you are no longer here beside us, your spirits live on in our hearts every day. Love like yours never dies. You will forever remain a part of our lives, our prayers, and our memories.
“Rest peacefully, my precious daughters — Jane, Christina, and Becky. You may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
“Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever remembered.”
Locals told The Sun the women were found dressed in “going-out clothes”.
Two workers at a café on the beachfront said revellers from nearby clubs frequently spill out onto the beach after closing time in the early hours of the morning.
Locals told The Sun it was common to see people still drinking on the beach in the early hours as commuters headed to work.
Another resident, who lives near the marina, said they spotted emergency services while feeding birds at around 6am and described the sea conditions as windy and “choppy”.
In an update last week, Chief Superintendent Adam Hays said: “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.
“Anyone with information that could help is asked to contact police online or via 101, quoting Operation Ledmore.”
He added that officers were exploring several lines of inquiry and urged the public to remain patient while investigations continue.

💔 She Trusted a Friend—and Lost Her Life in a Single Moment 💔 What would you do if the person sitting just behind you became the reason your life ended? Kenadee Wallenfang, 18, was on an ordinary drive with someone she trusted when that trust turned fatal. On June 3, 2025, a single gunshot shattered her future, leaving her family and community in shock and grief. Investigators quickly uncovered chilling evidence: a bullet fired at close range from inside the vehicle, a trajectory that left no room for doubt. The shooter was 20-year-old Deziaah Z. Hunter, someone Kenadee knew, someone she let into her life without fear. Despite claims the shooting was accidental, forensic analysis confirmed the act required deliberate action, contradicting any notion of mishap. The courtroom became a place of reckoning nearly a year later. A Peoria County jury found Hunter guilty of first-degree murder on April 29, 2026, validating what the evidence had already revealed. Sentencing is set for June 24, 2026, but no legal outcome can restore the life, dreams, and future stolen from Kenadee in an instant. Her story is a haunting reminder of how quickly ordinary moments can turn deadly and how betrayal can come from the people we trust most. Families and communities are left to process grief, question trust, and confront the fragility of life. 💬 What could have prevented this tragedy? How do we teach young people about trust, boundaries, and responsibility? 📌 Full story in the comments 👇
