In a heartbreaking turn of events, the bodies of two sisters, believed to be Henrietta and Eliza Huszti, were discovered in the River Dee, leading to an outpouring of grief from the local community. The sisters, aged 32, had been reported missing since January 7, and their tragic fate has left a profound impact on the city of Aberdeen.

Flowers and heartfelt tributes have been laid on the banks of the River Dee near the Aberdeen Boat Club, where the sisters were last seen. The community has come together to honor their memory, reflecting the deep connections and friendships formed over the years.

Henrietta and Eliza, originally from Hungary, had made Scotland their home for the past decade, spending the last six years in Aberdeen. Their aspirations of purchasing a house with their brother Jozsef further highlight the dreams that have been tragically cut short.

Following their disappearance, extensive search operations were launched by police divers and the Coastguard, which continued into the night. The discovery of the first body on Friday morning was followed by the recovery of a second body later that evening. While the authorities have not indicated any suspicious circumstances surrounding their deaths, the investigation remains ongoing. A police spokesperson confirmed that the families have been informed, and they are providing support during this incredibly difficult time.

The impact on the Aberdeen community

The loss of the Huszti sisters has resonated deeply within the Aberdeen community, prompting expressions of sympathy and support from residents and local officials alike. Superintendent David Howieson of Police Scotland acknowledged the significant emotional toll this incident has had on the community and thanked the public for their assistance during the search. “Our thoughts remain with the Huszti family, and we are keeping them fully updated following these recoveries,” he stated, emphasizing the collective grief felt across the region.

As the investigation continues, the community is left to grapple with the tragic loss of two young lives, whose dreams and aspirations will remain unfulfilled. The sisters’ story serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of community support during times of tragedy.
