The three sisters who died in the sea in Brighton

[VeganSteakAndFries]

This is sooo dodgy. There’s no recent photos of them, no one knows why they were there.
They were fully clothed. Handbags on the beach.
Their mum was found dead in a lake 16 yrs ago in Birmingham.
Police have reviewed 100’s of hours og cctv footage and nothing.
What the actual fuck?!

Well, no water can be less than 1 degrees...I have swim when the ice needs to be cracked and still, very few people wear wetsuits. They actually are allowed in competitions

The weather was really bad on that day and the sea would have been very rough. Brighton is often windy too and the waves would have been big and powerful. It's possible one sister was close to the edge and a particularly powerful wave reached her and caused her to fall over and more waves dragged her in as she was struggling to stand again. It can be difficult as the stones get dragged back with each wave. It's easy to see how one person could get dragged out very quickly, then the other two tried to help and the same happened.
Due to the bad weather all of them would probably have been wearing winter coats and clothing and once wet would have been waterlogged and very heavy further hampering them.
They were found in the early hours of the morning, at 5.45 am ish. However, it's very possible that they'd actually entered the water many hours before, possibly the evening before. They wouldn't have been seen as it was dark, but no one seems to be considering this theory.
I don't know whether it's true, but I read somewhere that their handbags were found on the beach, so that would provide some evidence of whereabouts they entered the water.
A terrible tragedy.

🤔

You don't have to be black to be able to deduce that this is a stupid generalisation.

Sorry not read all this thread so sorry if has been said. Not sure if this is true but apparently they had a sister who went missing and a big go fund me done to search for her then was discovered a few years later was in USA married. Very sad . Obviously their mom dying had a big affect on them.

Where are you heading this about the sister? Is there even confirmation they have a sister?

@CypressGrove Yes , it was confirmed by a family member in a news article. Lily or Lillian , younger than the 3 women that died. This younger sister lives in America. I also found an article about her going missing when she was 13 years old and another stating that she started a change . org petition when she was 12 to encourage the authorities to release their mother from a detention facility because she was unwell.

Quite a haunting photo. Nobody looks happy in it

i think it was an accident

nothing haunting about this picture at all,
you are reading things into it that arent there imo

I think people need to stop speculating. As said the women didn’t drink, there would appear a very tragic reason behind this and the family want privacy.

I struggle to understand how all three thougjt it was a good idea to go in the sea at 5am! In the UK

especially as their mother had drowned. Surely they, more than most, were aware of the dangers of the sea?

was it a suicide pact?

Sorry, wetsuits aren't allowed in cold water swimming competitions

@HelenaWilson
The police were appalling in how they handled her case though- commenting on her alcohol use and menopause challenges. I hope they got raked over the coals for that, it was shocking.
As I recall, someone who knew Nicola was about to go public with that information, so the police got in first to make it less sensational and deprive some media outlet of their exclusive.

Thats not what a police review found- The release of "highly sensitive" personal information by police investigating Nicola Bulley's disappearance was "avoidable and unnecessary", a review has concluded.

Andrew Snowden commissioned the College of Policing to review the case and the force said it had accepted the findings. So this really isnt true

Well that was rude!

of course people need answers! The whole things is beyond strange and horrendous. Public pressure cancmake authorities investigate properly. I would hope if anything this suspicious happened one of my children other people would want answers.

Did their mother commit suicide or did she accidentally drown? Is that known? As for the sisters, it seems a very odd way to commit suicide so I believe they most likely drowned accidentally.

Its unclear. Their mother had stress related mental health issues and went missing in 2012. She did not take her medication with her and was sadly found dead in a lake in Birmingham shortly after going missing. Its not clear if it was deliberate or if she just became so distressed she fell in

What a load of distasteful AI bollocks.

If you must turn a tragic accident, something which happened to actual people, into some trashy lurid speculation, at least use your own words.

This thread is disgusting.

Isn't the most simple explanation likely to be true?

They had a tragic family history and were possibly not the happiest of women, they got drunk and did an ill-advised thing. And as pps say, the sea at Brighton can be treacherous.

Surely that's the most likely, if perhaps not the most exciting, explanation????

According to this article “Janice, who had split with their father and suffered with mental health issues, walked into a park lake close to her home at the time in the West Midlands.”

So the mother’s death may well have been suicide. The article quotes an aunt and also the girls’ stepmother saying “Genevieve told the paper the family has been retraumatised by abusive comments left by conspiracy theorists drawing their own conclusions on social media
She said: ‘People are heartless. Some are saying, “We MUST know. We must have answers”. Hold on a minute. We are their family, and we don’t have answers.’
Holding back tears, Ajike added: ‘Don’t think we aren’t asking the questions ourselves. “Girls, why were you in Brighton? Did you just decide to go?”
‘I’ve gone over and over it.’
She said the girls ‘loved David Attenborough and could have decided to ‘go for a paddle’ after attending an event in Brighton for the natural historian’s 100th birthday the night before.
‘Did one fall in and the others go to help? Because they would have done – where one of them went, you always found the other two,’ she said.”

So the family do not understand the events and no one here is going to solve it with even less facts than the family have.

I don't think it's the victims that need answers -it happened to them! It's everyone else who feels they have a right to know.

I thought I had imagined the early references to a David Attenborough event, glad someone has confirmed I didn’t.

I guess coroner may open and adjourn given there seems to be further investigation ongoing?

“The freezing point of average seawater (with a salinity of about 3.5%) is approximately -1.8. Because fresh water freezes at 0, the dissolved salts lower the freezing temperature through a process known as freezing point depression”

Its not about people knowing where you are at all times, it's just about casual day to day conversation in general. If I go to the shops, yes I've probably told no one, but if I planned a trip to the coast with my sisters it probably would have come up in passing in a general conversation with our dad.

The family have come out and said they used AI to generate this from a childhood photo as they had no recent photos of them
