The tragic twin sisters who tragically passed away in a river in Scotland were transported to their home country in a unique manner due to financial constraints faced by their family. Henrietta and Eliza Huszti, aged 32, went missing in Aberdeen on January 7, 2025, sparking national attention. Their bodies were discovered in the river near their last known location on January 31, with drowning cited as the cause of death on their death certificates.
In a poignant interview with Hungarian media outlet Bors, the sisters’ brother, József Huszti, disclosed the ongoing emotional and financial challenges the family is enduring following the tragedy. Due to financial limitations, the family could not afford to bring the sisters back to Hungary in coffins, which would have cost around £45,000. Instead, the sisters’ urns were carried in backpacks, as reported by the Daily Record.
József expressed the family’s continued struggle to come to terms with the loss, emphasizing the difficulty of the first anniversary without his sisters. The sisters were laid to rest in their hometown of Monor, Hungary, in June, with commemorations also held in Scotland. The family remains unsatisfied with the official explanation of events surrounding the twins’ disappearance, with József rejecting the notion that his sisters took their own lives.
Eliza and Henrietta, known for their close bond and shared aspirations of homeownership, were not typically out late at night, according to family members. While detectives initially did not treat their disappearance as suspicious, they kept all possibilities open regarding their fate. Superintendent David Howieson mentioned that one theory considered was that the sisters may have entered the water for unknown reasons, although other possibilities were not ruled out.
The family seeks closure and truth regarding the circumstances of the twins’ tragic end, underscoring their unwavering belief that there is more to the story than what has been revealed so far.
