POLICE dogs and divers are trawling an icy river for missing twins last seen six days ago, leaving their family "extremely worried". The 32-year-old sisters, Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, disappeared in Aberdeen city centre on Tuesday (January 7) - having been seen walking along the river at around 2am.
Police Scotland have now confirmed they are focusing their search efforts on the River Dee - with police helicopters, dogs and a marine unit all deployed to the area. In a picture released on Sunday, cops can be seen searching the river in freezing conditions, with mounds of ice sitting on top of the water.
The search area goes as far as the the Port of Aberdeen’s South Harbour and towards Duthie Park, the force confirmed on Saturday. Cops are also working with authorities in Hungary - the twins' country of origin - to support their relatives back home.
In a statement, their brother József Huszti confirmed: "Dear friends and relatives! Yes, unfortunately, the news is true. "That's why I ask everyone to respect each other. No one should spread any fake news. "We can also serve with what was published in the press. Scottish Authority doing their job.
"I am asking everybody that now the family is not in a position to give separate information to everyone. "Thank you all for being with us at this difficult time. Saying thank you, the Huszti Family.". The sisters, who have been described as white, of slim build, with long, brown hair, left their home on the day of their disappearance, before being captured on CCTV walking along Market Street.
