A shocking turn of events unfolded in Aberdeen as the body of a second woman was discovered amidst the ongoing search for two sisters who mysteriously disappeared last month. Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32 years old, had gone missing in the city, prompting a widespread effort to locate them.
The last known sighting of the sisters was captured on CCTV footage near Victoria Bridge in Aberdeen’s Market Street, close to the River Dee, at approximately 2:12 am on January 7. The community was left reeling as news emerged of a woman’s body being recovered from the river around 8 am on a Friday. While formal identification is pending, authorities have informed the Huszti family of this tragic development.
The grim saga took a further grim turn when a second female body was located in the vicinity of Victoria Bridge along the river at approximately 9:05 pm on the same Friday. Police Scotland swiftly retrieved the body from the water, hoping to shed light on the unfolding mystery. The identity of this second woman remains unknown at this time, though the Huszti family has been notified of the distressing discovery.
Law enforcement officials are actively pursuing inquiries to ascertain the circumstances surrounding these grim findings. Superintendent David Howieson, hailing from Police Scotland North East Division, expressed solidarity with the grieving Huszti family and assured them of constant updates as the investigation progresses. The reverberations of this tragic event have deeply affected the local community, prompting an outpouring of support for the ongoing investigation efforts.
The missing sisters, part of a set of triplets originally from Hungary, vanished after departing from their rented residence in Aberdeen during the early hours of January 7. In a poignant twist, the siblings had informed their landlord of their decision not to return to their flat around 2:12 am on that fateful day, as seen in CCTV footage capturing their presence near the River Dee.
Despite the harrowing nature of the circumstances, police have been treating the case as a missing persons inquiry rather than a criminal investigation. In the course of their meticulous investigative work, authorities uncovered the sisters’ visit to the bridge a day preceding their disappearance, adding layers of complexity to the unfolding narrative.
