Family of Hungarian sisters, both 32, who vanished in Aberdeen and sparked a major search had to 'take their remains home in a backpack'
The family of two Hungarian twin sisters who died in the River Dee in Aberdeen had their remains taken back to Hungary in a backpack, their brother has revealed. The sisters were last seen on CCTV making their way across the Victoria Bridge before turning onto a path along the River Dee. In an emotional interview with Hungarian media outlet Bors, their brother József Huszti admitted the family 'still can't process' the tragedy. Mr Huszti revealed that the cost of repatriating the sisters' bodies home to Hungary would have been around £45,000. They were in regular contact with their family in Hungary and are not thought to have once indicated anything was wrong.
