Tributes to Aberdeen sisters left near River Dee after bodies recovered from water
Floral tributes have been laid on the banks of the River Dee in Aberdeen near where two missing sisters were found earlier this week.
Police confirmed that the family of Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32, had been informed after search teams discovered two bodies in the water on Friday, January 31.
The bodies, believed to be those of the sisters, were discovered near Victoria Bridge and the Aberdeen Boat Club, near to where they had last been seen on January 7 before they disappeared.

Flowers were left outside the boathouse in memory of the pair, who had moved to Scotland from Hungary several years ago before settling in Aberdeen.
A massive search operation was launched after they were reported missing by their landlord on January 7, who they had sent a text to on the night of their disappearance confirming they would not be returning to their city centre flat.
Police had called off searches of the River Dee after three weeks before the bodies were discovered in the morning and evening of January 31.
Officers investigating their disappearance stated there was nothing to suggest any suspicious circumstances or criminality.
Dive teams had been seen in the river throughout January searching for the pair, with a police boat patrolling the river on Friday morning following the discovery of the first body.
Coastguard search and rescue workers were at the scene assisting with the search, patrolling the banks of the river, with police confirming the second body was found later that same evening.
Police have since thanked the public for their assistance with the investigation, and added they remain in contact with the Huszti family following Friday's tragic recoveries.
Superintendent David Howieson said on Friday: "Our thoughts remain with the Huszti family and we are keeping them fully updated following these recoveries.
"We know how much of an impact this has had in Aberdeen and much further afield and I would like to thank everyone who has assisted with our investigation."
