Body found in search for missing sisters
The family of two sisters who vanished earlier this month have been informed after a woman’s body was found in a river close to where they were last seen. The body was recovered from the River Dee in Aberdeen on Friday just before 8am, east of Aberdeen Boat Club. Police said formal identification has not yet taken place, but the family of Henrietta Huszti, 32, have been informed. Officers are continuing to search for Eliza Huszti, also 32, after the sisters, who are part of a set of triplets, disappeared when they left their rented flat in the city in the early hours of January 7. The sisters moved to Scotland from Hungary a decade ago, and notified their landlord they would not be returning to their flat at around 2.12am on January 7, when they were caught on CCTV walking near the River Dee.
