A second body has been found in the search for two missing sisters in Aberdeen.

Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both aged 32, were last spotted on CCTV in the city’s Market Street at Victoria Bridge at about 2.12am on Tuesday 7 January.

Around 9.05pm last night, the body of a woman was recovered from the River Dee in Aberdeen. The woman is yet to be formally identified but the sisters’ family has been told, say police.

Earlier yesterday, a body, believed to be that of Henrietta, was also recovered from the water.

On Tuesday 7 January the women were seen crossing the bridge and turning right on to a footpath next to the River Dee in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.

The siblings’ disappearance sparked a major Police Scotland operation, with the force’s extensive searches of the River Dee coming to an end three weeks later.

Police previously said there were “no apparent suspicious circumstances” as the search was continuing.

The police revealed that the sisters – who are part of a set of triplets and originally from Hungary – visited the bridge where they were last seen about 12 hours before they disappeared.

They also sent a text message to their landlady on the morning they vanished, indicating they would not be returning to the flat.

More British people than ever before are being trapped in modern slavery, according to the latest available Home Office figures.  

A quarter of all referrals to the UK’s national modern slavery safeguarding scheme were related to British nationals.

Albanian and Vietnamese nationals were the second and third most referred, respectively.

But despite some police forces seeing a rise in charges for human trafficking, conviction rates remain proportionately low.

Sky News joined Greater Manchester Police on a raid at an abattoir, following intelligence claims that its owners were suspected of exploiting labour.

One alleged victim of modern slavery in the abattoir was living in conditions deemed “unsuitable for human habitation”, police said, just metres from where live animals were being slaughtered.

The man, who was brought to the UK on a legitimate skilled worker visa, told police he was then forced to work long hours for little or no pay.

“The area where our survivor was required to sleep was essentially a converted office space… next to the main slaughter hall,” DS Lee Attenborough, of Greater Manchester Police, says.

“It’s a noisy mechanised site, with a pungent smell from the activity that goes on here and is really not suitable for human habitation as far as we’re concerned.”

On this raid, police did not identify any additional suspected victims of modern slavery.

But authorities warn that these types of environments are typically where they find the most people who need their help.

Following the abattoir raid, a man and a woman, both in their 30s, were arrested on suspicion of human trafficking and an offence of slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour on Friday evening.

An Albanian national, also in his thirties, was arrested at the same abattoir after he tried to evade police, fleeing from the site and hiding on a nearby roof, DS Attenborough said.

Darren Wright from the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority said: “Abattoirs, farms, takeaways – anywhere there’s money to be made you usually find exploitation.

“It’s all about telling these potential victims what support we can offer and what support we can offer to gain their trust.

“But by the very nature of the job, they are very distrustful.”

The mother of a baby girl who was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder has urged people to sign the stem cell register in a bid to save her daughter’s life.

Doctors initially suspected a viral infection when three-month-old Dolcie-Mae Edwards-Raymond, from Newport in South Wales, fell ill and failed to gain weight shortly after she was born.

However, when she was just a month old, her parents Courtney-Jade Edwards, 22, and Ashley David Raymond, 28, were told she has hemophagocytic lymphohistiocystosis (HLH).

The immune deficiency disorder occurs when certain types of white blood cells, known as histiocytes and lymphocytes, become overactive and attack the body.

It can be life-threatening if left untreated or not diagnosed promptly.

Following her diagnosis, Dolcie-Mae was airlifted to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle from her home where she is receiving specialist treatment.

She will remain in hospital until a matching stem cell donor can be found.

Ms Edwards said: “No family should have to go through such an awful journey, watching their child fight a battle bigger than themselves.

“You could help give families like ours a chance to make memories by signing up to the register today.

“When Dolcie-Mae’s dad, Ashley, and I found out our daughter had HLH we were devastated. We had no idea about this rare blood disorder until she was diagnosed.

“To hear that our daughter’s body was attacking itself was just so heartbreaking. Knowing there was absolutely nothing we could do but sit beside her and pray for better days was awful, leaving us feeling so helpless.”

The family are now appealing for people between the ages of 16 and 30 to join the Anthony Nolan stem cell register to find a donor for Dolcie-Mae.

“Help give patients like my baby girl a second chance at life,” Ms Edwards said.

“A stem cell transplant from a stranger, someone like you, can be their only hope. Please join the stem cell register.”

Charlotte Cunliffe, director of register development at Anthony Nolan, said: “It’s heartbreaking to think about what little Dolcie-Mae and her family are going through and we are supporting them through this uncertain time.

“At Anthony Nolan we give hope to families affected by blood cancers and disorders, but we can’t do it without the lifesavers that sign up to our register.

“If you are aged 16-30, please sign up to the Anthony Nolan register online and send back your swabs. You could be the match that someone like baby Dolcie-Mae needs to survive.”

According to a study published in 2022, there were 1,674 people with HLH diagnosed in England between 2003 and 2018

There are two types of HLH.

One is inherited and usually affects babies under the age of one, while secondary HLH is caused by infections and usually happens after age six.
