The sisters were visiting the resort in East Sussex when they got into trouble in the water around 5:45 AM on May 13. Emergency services were called after concerns for a person's welfare before their bodies were recovered from the sea. According to multiple reports, there is no evidence of criminality or third-party involvement.
The sisters' father, Joseph, released a heartbreaking tribute describing his 'unbearable' grief. He said in a statement: '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.' He went on to describe each daughter's unique qualities and the profound impact their loss has had on his life. The family is asking for privacy as they come to terms with this tragedy.
The mother of the three sisters also died by drowning, according to the family. Their relatives described them as quiet, close-knit women who did not drink, smoke or go clubbing. The family suggested that the sisters may have been paying tribute to their mother, Janice, who drowned in Birmingham in 2010.
Police are appealing for information from anyone who may have seen the sisters around Madeira Drive between 10 PM on Tuesday, May 12, and 5:30 AM on Wednesday, May 13. Chief Superintendent Adam Hays said investigators would 'leave no stone unturned' as authorities work to determine what led to the deaths of the three sisters.
The investigation is ongoing with detectives reviewing hundreds of hours of CCTV footage and tracing the women’s final movements. The Coastguard is examining a theory that at least one sister may have waded out into the sea from the beach but got into difficulty when they stumbled off a shingle shelf where the seabed falls sharply into deep water.
