A second woman's body has been found near where two missing sisters were last seen in  Aberdeen.
Henrietta and Eliza Huszti - both 32 and  part of a  group of  trillers - were last seen near the River Dee on  January 7.
Police found the second body in an area of  the river near Victoria Bridge at  around 9.05pm on Friday. The first body  was found near Queen Elizabeth Bridge at  around 7.55am.
Police Scotland said the Huszti family had been informed.  Investigations are ongoing but there are no  known suspicious  circumstances.
Superintendent David Howieson said:  "Our thoughts  are with the Huszti family and we  will keep them updated  as the situation develops.
"We know  the impact this has had  on Aberdeen and  beyond and I would like to thank everyone who has  contributed to our  investigation."
The disappearance of the two  sisters, originally from  Hungary, sparked a  large-scale search operation earlier this month.
A blue police tent  has been erected outside a triangular building  bearing the name Aberdeen  Yacht Club. Police officers  are seen  around it. A police tent  has been set up at Aberdeen Boat  Club, near where the body was  first seen on  Friday.
The two women were last seen on Market  Street, near Victoria Bridge over the River  Dee, at  around 2.12am on  January 7.
Earlier this week, Police Scotland said searches  in the river and harbour had  been completed.
But police said  investigations were ongoing and coastal areas  to the north and south of the city would continue to be searched.
Detectives previously  discovered that the sisters  had visited Victoria Bridge the day before they disappeared.
They also texted their  landlord from the bridge area in the early hours of  January 7 to  tell him they would not  be returning to their  flat. Victoria Bridge and Queen Elizabeth Bridge are about a mile apart  over the River  Dee.

Police are treating the search as a missing persons  investigation, not a criminal  investigation.
The sisters, who moved to Scotland 10 years ago, had not told  their loved ones they  were planning to move out of their rented  flat in Aberdeen  soon.
They had been saving to buy a  property, but their brother Jozsef told BBC News earlier this month  that it was "strange"  that the family  had not  been aware they had decided to end their  tenancy.
He said: "They wrote a message to their  landlord saying they wanted to end their tenancy  immediately. We  had no information about  this.
"So, that's  strange, that the girls didn't tell us anything about  this."
"They never  talked about such  plans."
