A text message was sent from Henrietta’s mobile phone to the sisters’ landlady at 2.12am on 7 January, from the area of Victoria Bridge, indicating they would not be returning to the flat. The phone was then disconnected from the network and has not been active since, police said. The following day, the sisters’ - originally from Hungary - personal belongings were found inside the flat and the landlady reported her concerns to police.
Eliza and Henrietta’s family previously issued desperate appeals in the past few weeks as the search continued. Their brother Joszef Huszti told the BBC that relatives do not understand their disappearance, adding their mother had a phone call with the sisters just days beforehand when everything appeared normal. “We don't understand this whole thing,” he said. “That they wrote a message to their landlady, that they wanted to immediately end their tenancy agreement.
