Police Scotland are urgently searching for two sisters, Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, who vanished after crossing the River Dee in Aberdeen.
A major search by police for two missing sisters was yesterday concentrated on an ice-covered river. Eliza and Henrietta Huszti were last seen in the centre of Aberdeen in the early hours of last Tuesday crossing a bridge over the River Dee. But nothing has been seen of them since. Police Scotland said they were 'seriously concerned' for the safety of the two Hungarian women who are part of a set of triplets.
Yesterday's operation by search teams focused on the Dee, with no sign of the sisters having left that area after the last sighting. CCTV footage shows them crossing Victoria Bridge at Market Street shortly after 2am on Tuesday – but nothing after that.
