POLICE in two countries are urging for help from expats, tourists and locals in finding Irish identical twin sisters who disappeared whilst celebrating their birthday in Madrid's La Latina neighbourhood.
Martha and Mary Osaro are 26 – as from Thursday, May 9 when they were last seen – and are said to be 1.75 metres (5'9”) tall, slim, dark-eyed, black, with long hair, straightened but slightly wavy.
According to the missing persons charity SOS Desaparecidos, which released the above photograph, the sisters know Madrid very well, as they had lived in the city on and off over the last five years.
At the time of their disappearance, they had been living back in the Republic of Ireland but had been spending a few days in Madrid on holiday to celebrate their joint birthday.
Anyone who believes they may have seen one or both of the Osaro twins is asked to contact the free emergency hotline, 112 – where English-speakers and those of other languages are available on request – or to tweet the missing persons association via @sosdesaparecido (without the final 's').
