The tragic case of two sisters who went missing in Aberdeen, Scotland, has concluded with the revelation of their cause of death. Henrietta and Eliza Huszti, both 32 years old and originally from Hungary, were discovered in the River Dee on January 31, weeks after they were last seen on January 7. Authorities confirmed that their deaths were the result of drowning, as indicated on their death certificates, and stated that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the incident.
The sisters, who were part of a set of triplets, had moved to Scotland approximately a decade ago. Their disappearance prompted extensive searches and appeals from police, who sought information from the public. The sisters were last captured on CCTV footage crossing the Victoria Bridge in Aberdeen during the night of January 7, shortly before a text message was sent from Henrietta’s phone to their landlord, indicating that they would not be returning to their rented apartment.
Following the text message, which was sent around 2:12 a.m., the cellphone was disconnected from the network, and it was not used again. The next day, their landlord alerted the police after finding the sisters’ personal belongings still inside the apartment. This sparked a search operation that included police dogs and marine units, as well as reviews of CCTV footage from local businesses and residents.
On January 31, authorities recovered the bodies of the sisters from the river. Initially, the police announced the discovery of one body, later confirming the identification of both sisters. Superintendent David Howieson of Police Scotland stated that inquiries were ongoing but emphasized there were no apparent suspicious circumstances.
Family members expressed their grief and confusion over the sisters’ deaths. Their brother, Jozsef Huszti, noted that the family is struggling to understand the circumstances that led to this tragedy. The sisters had last communicated with their mother on January 4, and their conversation seemed normal, raising further questions about their state of mind leading up to their disappearance.
This heartbreaking event has drawn attention to the importance of mental health and safety, particularly in challenging situations. As the investigation continues, the community mourns the loss of Henrietta and Eliza Huszti, whose lives were tragically cut short.
