The three sisters who died in the sea in Brighton

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?!

I don't find this case the least bit fascinating or mysterious. Tragic - yes, but nothing 'scandalous'.

It's either one fell in, others tried to help, went into shock from cold or similar, so basically a tragic accident of some sort.

Or it's a suicide, due to mum's death/poor mental health.

As for the accident, why does it matter why they were there. Were they drinking or not drinking, wherher they came tipsy to splash about, or just came to see the sunrise. What's the difference, the outcome is the same.

No one just upped and murdered three able-bodied adult women in one go by drowning. There's no 'cover up' or 'scandal' here.

The family is dysfunctional, all the disappearances and whatnot, but this is neither here nor there.

I find it very hard to believe that all 3 women would commit suicide together.

folie a deux? (Excuse my horrible spelling!)

Someone earlier mentioned the two sisters found in a river a few months ago.

Really? One had just paid off debt, the same one or another had just graduated from university. They had a lot to live for.

They were inseparable, their own unit, they did almost everything together. They didn’t know Brighton, didn't usually take off on a whim, and they didn’t recover from the death of their mother who drowned to death. It’s not much of a stretch.

Yes sure. It seems very likely to me and we certainly don’t know anything like enough about them to decide what they had to live for, now that suicidal people really think like that.

Extremely uncommon, less than 1% of all suicides and usually older partners over 50. Much less common than drowning.

I didn’t mean statistically. Maybe “not unheard of” would’ve been a better response

It’s a massive stretch. They went to a party in Brighton as many Londoners do.

If they wanted to commit suicide why do it in a town known for its nightlife after sunrise when someone might see them? Surely they’d go to a secluded deserted beach in the black of night.

Yes but even during the day would be an improvement. I was at Brighton beach during the day today, and people were swimming out very far into the sea

Were there any signs about danger? Some PP say there are lots at Brighton, but I didn't see any when I was there in the last couple of years.

The sea is very unpredictable. I think it's very foolhardy to swim a) far out and b) to do so when there are no lifeguards.

A party hasn’t been confirmed.

Nobody knows what time they entered the water (and on a Tuesday night).

Specialneedsnightmare · 28/05/2026 22:22

I'm not sure it was suicide because surely a survival instinct would have kicked in for at least one of them in that situation? I mean, drowning would take real intent and as there were three of them it seems more unlikely they'd all be that determined. Even if they'd planned it, actually being in the moment is a whole other matter. But who knows.

Well that’s what I read. I guess we will find out.

whitefluffydog · 28/05/2026 22:40

I am glad someone is talking about it. Had enough of the media claiming the father does not want nobody talking about it

The multiple posts about drinking and clubbing make it feel like people can’t understand how anyone can take risks/ commit suicide/ have an accident without being pissed.
your late at night pissed coming out of the club is another persons waking up early and taking a sunrise walk.
they didn’t appear to be in the slightest social, in fact they appear quite isolated. If I had to take a wild guess it’s a damaged family from a likely abuser father/ husband. Funny how so many women in his life have come to peril.

this is what my spidey senses are telling me also, plus father not wanting people talking about it

Wow that's a leap and a terrible thing to say.

not a leap and not terrible...

in Nicola Bully's case there was a weirdo husband who called the welfare check on his wife and probably ruined her self esteem

Nicola Bully fell into a river in the middle of winter and died instantly. Whatever her partner did, he was pertinently not involved in her death. It's disgusting to suggest otherwise.

Flamingosareflummoxed · 28/05/2026 23:11

I think it’s now quite clear what happened and it’s very sad. Paying off debt does not necessarily signify being future focused, it can also mean lessening the burden for loved ones.

YoBetty · 28/05/2026 23:13

Delatron · 28/05/2026 17:59

Oh for goodness sake - of course I know that. I don’t understand why we are bringing this up all the time.

What I meant is that it is clear what happened in the cases of teens drowning in open water in the last week. We don’t have 11 people dying in lakes in one week in the middle of winter do we? They jumped in to cool down and got in to trouble.

That didn’t happen in this case. It’s more uncertain as to why three women fully clothed ended up in the sea in the middle of a cold stormy night. Yes?

There's no need to be patronising and it wasn't me who brought it up in the first place. Someone said they were heat-related deaths so absolutely nothing like this case. I pointed out that the end result was the same.

I get these vibes too.
The real photo provided by the family to me is haunting and I would look at it in any circumstances and say that’s a strange photo projecting sadness.

Some very weird snobbery on here as if taking pictures of family and events is common and vulgar.
I never post family pictures on SM but I do find great joy in looking through my pictures on my phone and real photo’s of people I love in happy times.

Also I think often press and police don’t necessarily use photos provided by family, they can scrape social media and friends and acquaintances for photos which are used. The fact the only picture presented in this case is that sad one I think is very telling.
m pretty confident that if I took a picture of me as a teen and asked AI to age me to 30 it wouldn’t look anything like what I actually looked like at 30 so another reason it’s a pretty odd thing for the family to do.

I guarantee in a few years there will be a documentary about these poor women and it won’t be to say ‘perfectly happy and functional women just enjoying the choppy sea miles from home in shitty weather’.

Why are we bringing up completely different cases with completely different circumstances? Did this happen in the middle of the night?

There is no "middle of the night" mystery here. Brighton is a 24hr city. There is never not people on the beach. That Withernsea link is very relevant here. Two girls posing for photos at the sea edge with a steep drop off, powerful waves and a strong backwash. One girl and two rescuers drowned. Pretty much the same circumstances in the same conditions with the same result.

People seemed determined to make more of this than it needs to be. It's a tragedy not an entertaining melodrama.

I’ve said all along I think it is an accident. But if they don’t drink, party and there’s no CCTV showing them in any clubs or bars then I do think it’s a bit of a mystery why they were on a cold beach late at night/early in the morning.

I’ve also said my best guess is that they got up to watch the sunrise. Again that’s not making it an entertaining melodramatic drama. I’m merely pointing out the difference in circumstances to the above case that someone posted which was in the daylight with witnesses.

You say there are people on the beach all night in Brighton- surely not sober people at 3/4am? And I’m assuming when the weather is cold there would be slightly less people?
