Body of second woman found after disappearance of two sisters

The body of another woman has been found after the disappearance of two sisters. The body was discovered during the search for the two sisters, who went missing in Aberdeen last month.

Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32, had last been seen on CCTV on Market Street at Victoria Bridge over the River Dee in Aberdeen at about 2.12am on Tuesday January 7. The first woman’s body was recovered from the river just before 8am on Friday. The body of a second woman was found in an area of the river near to the Victoria Bridge at around 9.05pm on Friday and recovered, Police Scotland said.

The women have yet to be identified but the Huszti family has been informed, officers say. Police said inquires are taking place to establish what happened but there are no apparent suspicious circumstances.

Superintendent David Howieson said: “Our thoughts remain with the Huszti family and we are keeping them fully updated following these recoveries. We know how much of an impact this has had in Aberdeen and much further afield, and I would like to thank everyone who has assisted with our investigation.”

The sisters, part of a set of triplets, had vanished after leaving their rented flat in Aberdeen in the early hours of January 7. The siblings, who moved to Scotland from Hungary a decade ago, notified their landlord they would not be returning to their flat at around 2.12am on January 7, when they were filmed on CCTV walking near the River Dee.

Police have been treating the investigation as a missing persons inquiry rather than a criminal probe. As part of their investigation, they discovered the sisters had visited the bridge the day before they disappeared.
