This story is from the archive. It was covered between 8 October 2026 and 8 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Inquest hears details of how three women spent their final days but why they ended their lives may never be known Jane Adetoro and her younger sisters, Christina and Rebecca Walters, were “the closest sisters and the best friends”, according to their family.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets cover the inquest into the Brighton deaths and the fact that the women were sisters who died by suicide. The Guardian US foregrounds the “last hours” framing and says the inquest hears details of their final days while noting the cause of why they ended their lives may never be known. Channel 4 News uses a more direct finding-led headline and, in its extract, uniquely mentions the bodies being recovered on Brighton beach in rough sea conditions.
