Bodies found in river in Aberdeen confirmed as missing sisters

Police have confirmed that two bodies found in Aberdeen’s River Dee belong to Henrietta and Eliza Huszti; the sisters who had disappeared early in January. The 32-year-olds were originally from Hungary but had moved to Scotland ten years ago and were part of a set of triplets. The bodies were found near where they were last seen alive. Superintendent David Howieson of Police Scotland said inquiries into the exact cause of death are ongoing but that no apparent suspicious circumstances have been found.

The Gurkha Welfare Trust in Aberdeen urged people to help comb the river’s edge for the two sisters during the search operation. They were last seen in the early hours of 7 January crossing the Victoria Bridge, heading towards the Aberdeen Boat Club. Detectives previously revealed that the sisters had visited the Victoria Bridge a day before their disappearance. In the early hours of 7 January, they texted their landlady from the bridge area to let her know that they would not be returning to their flat.

The two missing sisters had not informed relatives that they planned to leave their rented Aberdeen flat imminently, although they had been in the process of saving up to buy a property. Henrietta, who had lived through the civil war in her homeland, was employed at B&Q in Aberdeen. Her sister, Eliza, had worked at the Seaton Park Cafe for several years.

Flowers were laid at the site beside the River Dee after the bodies of the sisters were recovered; the first one was found on 31 January at the Queen Elizabeth Bridge. Officers found the second body in a nearby area of the river close to Victoria Bridge
