The brother of the missing sisters from Aberdeen has warned against spreading “fake news” as detectives returned to the river where they were last seen.
As the search enters its second week, Police Scotland continues to appeal for help finding Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32 and part of a set of triplets.
After the pair were reported missing from their home in Aberdeen city centre, their brother Jozsef Huszti said in a post on social media: “No one should spread any fake news.”
The sisters’ family has also issued a desperate plea appealing for anyone with information to come forward and saying “all we want is for them to be found”.
The pair, who are originally from Hungary, were last seen on CCTV in Market Street at the Victoria Bridge over the River Dee at around 2.12am on 7 January. They crossed the bridge and turned right on to a footpath next to the river, heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.
One theory police are considering is that the pair somehow entered the water, and extensive search efforts – involving the police helicopter, dog branch and marine unit – have been focusing on the river and surrounding area.
Officers added that there is nothing to suggest criminality in relation to the siblings’ disappearance.
