Body found near to where sisters went missing in Aberdeen

Near Aberdeen's River Dee, where two sisters vanished in early January, a corpse has been found.

Early on Tuesday, January 7, Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32 and originally from Hungary, were last seen on CCTV near the Dee at Aberdeen harbour as they made their way to a riverbank path.

The identification of the individual discovered on Friday has not yet been verified by the authorities, nor have they connected the find to their hunt for the women.

In a statement, the force said: “We were made aware of the body of a person seen in the River Dee near Queen Elizabeth Bridge in Aberdeen around 07:55 on Friday. The body has been recovered from the water and inquiries are ongoing.”

Police Scotland deployed divers, cadaver dogs and helicopters in the search for the women, who were part of triplets. Officers said they found no evidence of foul play and suspected the women had gone into the river.
