A second body has been recovered from the River Dee in Aberdeen during a police search for missing sisters Eliza Huszti and Henrietta Huszti.

In a statement released this morning, Police Scotland confirm: “Officers found the body in an area of the river near to the Victoria Bridge around 9.05pm and it was subsequently recovered.

“The woman has yet to be identified but the family of Eliza Huszti, 32, who had been reported missing in the area on Tuesday, 7 January, has been informed.

“Enquires are ongoing to establish the full circumstances but there are no apparent suspicious circumstances.”

This follows the discovery of a body of a woman found in the River Dee earlier yesterday morning, with the family of Henrietta Huszti informed.

The sisters were last seen on Market Street, at the Victoria Bridge, around 2.12 am on Tuesday, January 7.

“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.”
