The family of twin sisters missing from Aberdeen have been informed following the discovery of a second body in the River Dee.

Police found a body in an area of the river near to the Victoria Bridge at around 9.05pm on Friday and it was subsequently recovered.

Formal identification has yet to take place, but the family of Eliza Huszti has been informed.

It comes following the discovery of the body of a woman in the River Dee around 7.55am on the same day. Police Scotland said the Huszti family had been informed.

Inquires remain ongoing but there are no apparent suspicious circumstances.

The 32-year-olds, who are part of a set of triplets, 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.
