Eliza and Henrietta Huszti were last seen on CCTV in Market Street after leaving their home in Aberdeen city centre on Tuesday at around 2.12am.

The sisters, aged 32, had crossed the Victoria Bridge to the Torry district of the city, and turned right onto a footpath next to the River Dee – heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.
