The father of missing sisters Eliza and Henrietta Huszti expressed deep sorrow after their bodies were found in the River Dee, three weeks after their disappearance.
Miklos Huszti, their father, said the family is devastated. The sisters are triplets, and their third sister, Edit, collapsed upon hearing the news. Their brother, Jozsef, is also deeply affected.
Miklos shared that he hadn’t spoken to his daughters in about 12 years. He felt sick when he learned they were missing. He had hoped for a misunderstanding but feared something was wrong.
A large search operation began after the sisters’ landlord reported them missing. They had texted him saying they wouldn’t return to their flat. Police had previously called off searches before the bodies were found.
Authorities stated there’s no evidence of foul play. Dive teams searched the river throughout January, and a police boat was present when the first body was discovered.
Coastguard teams assisted in the search, and the second body was found later that evening. Miklos prayed for their safety but had a bad feeling about their situation.
Relatives are now working to bring the sisters’ remains back to Hungary. A fundraiser started by a friend has raised over £5,000 to support the family.
Tributes and flowers have been left near the Aberdeen Boat Club, where the sisters disappeared. Police thanked the public for their help and are in contact with the Huszti family during this difficult time.
