It comes days after police stood down their search of the river for missing twin sisters, Henrietta and Eliza Huszti.

The 32-year-olds were last seen on the city’s Market Street on December 17 before crossing Victoria Bridge and turning onto a footpath by the River Dee.

Their disappearance sparked a major search and rescue operation, but police confirmed on Monday that searches of the River Dee and harbour area had ended.
